The interview given by Portsmouth owner Ali Al Faraj to a Saudi newspaper has been cleared up.

The Daily Mail says the interview published by Asharq-al-Awsa was indeed true.

The chat between the Saudi journalist and Al Faraj took place on the speakerphone of his brother Ahmed's car. The interview reported Ali as saying he is 'no billionaire' and could keep the club for as little as six months. Pompey say Al Faraj meant he will spend six months stabilising affairs before reviewing progress.
