Portsmouth chairman Storrie slams Greek interference
Portsmouth chairman Peter Storrie is unimpressed by the nagging of Greek officials.
Takis Fyssas, Greece's general director, phoned up Pompey's executive director over the issue of Theofanis Gekas' failure to yet play a game for the Blues.
Fyssas believed Pompey had shown a lack of 'respect' by leaving Gekas and, more recently, compatriot Angelos Basinas out of the side.
Storrie said: "At the end of the day it is the manager's choice which player should play.
"To get the Greek national manager ringing me up and telling me who I should play and who I shouldn't play I think is absolutely outrageous.
"You know, you deal with your damn Greek side, don't start telling us who we should play at Portsmouth Football Club.
"If I get another call from the Greek damn national manager, he's going to get a real kick from us because at the end of the day Paul (Hart) didn't pick this player to come to the club, Tony (Adams) did.
"Personally, I back what Paul is doing 150 per cent."
