Storrie slams agent allegations
Portsmouth, 13:18, March 13, 2010 ,
Peter Storrie is denying any wrongdoing over allegations he broke FA rules in the deal that brought Frederic Piquionne to Portsmouth.
The Sun are claiming the club's former chief executive, who yesterday stood down from the role, made a payment to agent Willie McKay after sealing a loan move for the striker.
Storrie has hit back at the newspaper's findings after being presented by an email they say was sent by him to a firm of lawyers.
He said: "It was due to him, it was outstanding and I wanted the lawyers to be aware of that.
"The money had to go through the FA but the lawyers' account wasn't recognised by the FA.
"It needed to be recognised by the FA.
"Barclays stopped our bank account - we didn't have a bank account anywhere so they had to get it ratified by the FA otherwise the deal would not have been accepted.
"It's that straightforward. I have done nothing wrong - just a matter of procedure.
"There's never been a payment. Willie McKay was never paid. The lawyers never, ever paid him. Ask Willie McKay. Absolutely not. He was never, ever paid."
McKay also refuted any question of malpractice.
He told The Sun: "They paid me £20,000 - but I got it through the FA. And that for a player who scored 10 goals in half a season for a rubbish team, at the bottom of the league.
"Why am I being dragged into this? I've been under investigation for six years.
"The City of London police have investigated me.
"Lord Stevens and Quest have investigated me and they have all cleared me.
"And you know why? Because I have never done anything wrong."
Storrie will continue to assist Pompey's administrator Andrew Andronikou on a range of matters in a consultancy capacity until a buyer can be found for the club.
