06/25/2009 - Portsmouth, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Portsmouth has denied reports suggesting it had lined up Vahid Halilhodzic as its new manager.
The Bosnian coach of the Ivory Coast national team was reported to be in line to take the reins at Fratton Park as part of Sulaiman Al-Fahim's prospective takeover of the club.
But executive chairman Peter Storrie insists the stories are wide of the mark.
Pompey are currently managed by caretaker boss Paul Hart, whose future should Al-Fahim takeover the south coast club remains unclear.
Speaking about Halilhodzic, Storrie told the Portsmouth News: "It's complete and utter rubbish. There's nothing in it at all.
"We've had no discussions or meetings whatsoever."
Meanwhile, Storrie has also denied fielding any bids for Peter Crouch despite claims of interest in the England striker from Blackburn Rovers.
He added: "Peter's one of our major assets. He's someone we want to keep and build a team around."

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
