Portsmouth chief Peter Storrie admits the club is furious over press speculation that manager Harry Redknapp may quit after Saturday's FA Cup final.
"It's an unbelievable load of rubbish, complete and utter make believe," Storrie told The News.
"Somebody rang us about these stories on Wednesday night and I spoke to Harry about it. He is fuming, he really is.
"It's a joke, total rubbish. You just wonder whether these people have an agenda because it's doing us no good."
Storrie added: "We are about to play the FA Cup final and people are coming out with this. It's hardly helping things. We don't need this at this moment.
"People should not believe any of it, though. It is complete and utter nonsense.
"Where these silly stories come from I have no idea. They are nonsense, just nonsense.
"Harry is furious about this - we all are. It's a load of rubbish."
