Former Eagles captain, Nwankwo Kanu
has demanded dying Portsmouth of
England to pay his 3m pounds (about
N750m) wage arrears before the club
finally goes into liquidation.
Portsmouth administrator Trevor Birch
has warned that the club could be
liquidated ‘in two or three weeks’.
The 2008 FA Cup winners are due to
start the new season in League One with
a 10-point penalty for returning to
administration but Birch says the club
might be out of business before the big
kick-off, against Bournemouth on
August 18.
Kanu who helped the club to their
successful FA Cup campaign stated that
the only honor the club can do for him is
to pay his outstanding.
Birch has imposed a £5,000-per-week
salary cap to cut costs, with the excess
paid once the club avoids liquidation, but
the Nigerian forward is digging his heels
in over the money owed to him.
‘The club is heading for liquidation in
just a few weeks, perhaps two weeks if
these players don’t leave or compromise
on their wages.”
Birch added: ‘Kanu has served the club
notice that he wants to leave but before
doing so he wants the money he says is
owed to him by the club.” www.vanguardngr.com/2012/07/kanu-demands-n750m-from-pompey/

Ofcourse they should pay him, we all knwo how clubs throw players away when they do not need them again,not minding your contribution, e.g J.J. Okocha vs Bolton, so Kanu shouldn't show any pity or sentiment, even if they are ging into extinction.... Buchitiiii
