Ferguson praises Grant

Question

Sir Alex Ferguson praises the courage of Avram Grant and says Portsmouth can stay up – is this beyond optimistic?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, Pompey look doomed to spending next season inside the Championship. It would take a genuine miracle for the club to avoid the drop. But Grant must be praised for being brave enough to take the job in the first place, particularly after coming so close to winning the Champions League with Chelsea in 2008.
