Storrie leaves Portsmouth to end blame-game

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sat, 03/13/2010 - 10:46

Peter Storrie says he resigned from Portsmouth as he felt he was being made a "scapegoat" for the club's crisis.

Storrie will stay on at Fratton Park in a “consultancy” role as the team prepare for their FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur or Fulham next month.

Announcing his decision on ESPN, Storrie said: “It is best that I walk away for the sake of the club as well as my family and friends. Despite working non-stop to try to keep this club alive for the last 14 months, they need someone to blame, and there is nobody left to blame but me.

“It is not fair on my friends and family. I can’t take it any more, taking all the stick on my own, so I have decided to quit.”
