  GRANT HAS ONLY BEEN PAID ONCE BY POMPEY

  Boss is owed by South Coast strugglers

  

  GRANT: Has only been paid one month's wages

  
  

  

   

  AVRAM GRANT has vowed to stick with Portsmouth even though he has only been paid ONCE by the cash-strapped club.

  The sale of Asmir Begovic and Younes Kaboul behind Grant's back has created a situation at the club that chief executive Peter Storrie described as bordering on untenable.

  But today we lift the lid on day- to-day conditions at Pompey that are truly unfathomable, where:

  * Caterers who feed the players have gone unpaid since October.

  * Repossessions have hampered Fratton Park security operations.

  * Matchday costs have spiralled out of control.

  * Yet the club are still splurging on air fares and hotels for their stars while other staff are struggling to pay their mortgages.

  Grant, the former manager of mega-bucks Chelsea, first joined Pompey as director of football on October 7 before taking over from sacked manager Paul Hart at the end of November.

  But, so far, only one month of his £1m-a-year salary has been paid under mystery owner Ali Al-Faraj's regime.

  The club personally owe Grant at least £166,500, yet the beleaguered boss has been personally financing expenses on the club's behalf.
