Emotional Grant admits defeat

Someone needs to get a petition up to ask? no even BEG Avram to stay so he appreciates how much we appreciate him

on an unrelated matter the shop has slashed its hero shirts to just over 20 quid. I really want one, then look at it with our sponsor slapped in the middle and cant bring myself to buy one.....ive been struggling all season with this!! It is the first season i havent bought one, and always full price!

o and here's the vid of him http://www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,26691,12602_5980277,00.html

Pompey fans - as one that follow Avram Grant many years(i'm an Israeli), so i know, that he is person with ideals and emotions, that's why he agreed not to get payed that long and even to convince the players to play in the good form that they shown lately(any other team in the world, would have collapsed much earlier, but because of the leading spirit of Grant and the respect of players to him and the support of the fans, that didn't neglect the club, even in it worse time, so the team shown until now, unbeliveable spirit, in comparance to the sircumstences and the historic win against Southampton, that always was the achiles point of pompey, was the cream de la cream, that no one expect in the current sircumstences). Look, i wrote to Grant in his facebook, what i think about pompey and it fans, the differences between it faithful fans to the spoiled fans of Chelsea, that even the Champ's final(as the better side) wasn't good enough for them, in the first year of AG in chelsea(and now, they wish to get back to the same spot that AG took them). I wrote to Grant, that a club like pompey has history, but has future as well - and he could be for pompey, like ferguson to manchester, wagner to arsenal and rafa to liverpool and lead the club all the way from the championship, back to the premiership. I wrote to him, that if there is a crowd that really deserve it, that Grant will lead it towards the future, it's you, pompey crowd, because you have a heart inside you, a huge heart. Well, i guess you want to know what he answered, he just said, "thank you"(so at least i know he read it and it touched him). Look fellas, we have to be realistic, i know that he has an ofer to manage the israeli national team(and israel have a great chance this time, because the other teams that chosen, are not the best). therefore, if pompey will relegate with -15 points for the next year, i'm not sure that he will stay(after all he is a champ's league finalist), but who knows... But if pompey will just lose this year, without to get hurt by points decreasing next year, then it could be more logical. But anyway, if i'm a pompey fan and really love the club, i'm chanting Avram Stay, Avram Stay, Avram Stay, in all the rest games. after all, if there is a future to the club(and i guess there is), Avram Grant as an Idealistic person and emotional one, will might consider staying, if all the fans as one, show him the love that they got for the club and for him, as the lion that fight for this club in the frontier, like no one does. Well, that's my point of view and i tried to help by sending him note to his facebook. the chants, i will leave it to you, after all i'm thousands of miles from the "park" and no one will hear me... :=)

I think his grief is because he was lied to, like Paul Hart before him. Only PS and, possibly, HR knew what was going on. I've nothing against him as a man but managerially I class him alongside PH. I agree with Russell.

Avram is an intelligent guy, and I genuinley believe he loves our Club. Unlike the "Del boy mercenary" who jumped ship quicker than a rat. The way I see it, is that unless that lying Storrieteller is sacked then Avram won't stay. By the emotion he showed today you could see he felt let down, and it doesn't take a blind man with a straw arse, to see promises made weren't kept. He's been let down just like the rest of us. Please Mr. Administrator get these bums out of our Club before they do any more damage. Even if Sorrieteller accepted £25k a year he ain't worth it. No more compromise please. It's time to start again with a breath of fresh air and new owners, throw out the dead wood and rebuild with Avram at the helm.

I just want to tell you guys, how sorry I am that this is/has happened to your club. It may not be much of a comfort at the moment, but you will rise from the ashes from this and one day we will see you back in the Premiership. Good luck for the future, guys.
