Pompey in trouble
Portsmouth’s battle this summer to avoid liquidation will draw fresh attention to the scandalous transfer that highlights the serial mismanagement of the troubled club.
Pompey were already on their knees financially when it was somehow agreed by then chief executive Peter Storrie, on transfer deadline day at the end of August 2009, to pay Israel defender Tal Ben Haim a basic £8m over four years plus image rights. Ben Haim, whose agent is Pini Zahavi, has turned down an offer of £350,000 to leave the stricken Fratton Park club with a League One season remaining on his ludicrous deal.
