Eurgh pop up tablet killerMajor Pompey promotion rivals set to splash cash to land in-demand figure
Oxford United are one point behind Pompey at the top of League One - and are now set to pay a 'hefty' package to land the highly-touted boss.www.portsmouth.co.uk
If only there were a reaction instead of a mere ‘like’ I would’ve clicked.It's not actually the full quote, I guess it would look too cramped.
"I was soo impressed with Mumbai FC's professionalism. It was really great dealing with them. The compensation was set and it was not negotiated. Their attitude throughout was absolute fire"
As I’ve said before, the Pompey press seem to have an unhealthy obsession with us.Major Pompey promotion rivals set to splash cash to land in-demand figure

They’ve also predicted on there that we’ll finish 6th…As I’ve said before, the Pompey press seem to have an unhealthy obsession with us.
Which, given the sh*t show of last season, the rebuild and then being left in the lurch by Snakey, would be a playoff place and thus a good finish (or even better, if we won and went up).They’ve also predicted on there that we’ll finish 6th…
I agree a play off place would be seen as a success but I really don’t want to make them and then fail to go up for a third time in four years..Which, given the sh*t show of last season, the rebuild and then being left in the lurch by Snakey, would be a playoff place and thus a good finish (or even better, if we won and went up).
I am not sure that the club would take 6th as a good finish based on the current position and squad ( presumably more money invested in January)Which, given the sh*t show of last season, the rebuild and then being left in the lurch by Snakey, would be a playoff place and thus a good finish (or even better, if we won and went up).
I certainly hope they wouldn't. Playoffs should only be looked at as a second chance this year, we should be aiming for and expecting automatics.I am not sure that the club would take 6th as a good finish based on the current position and squad ( presumably more money invested in January)
Depending on how late we went from 2nd to 6th I don’t think that would be a good finish…Which, given the sh*t show of last season, the rebuild and then being left in the lurch by Snakey, would be a playoff place and thus a good finish (or even better, if we won and went up).
An Oxford tune from the 70s if you were around then you may remember it. Referenced Peter FoleyTexas ?

Think you’ll find the obsession is driven by the newspapers bot and not the fans .As I’ve said before, the Pompey press seem to have an unhealthy obsession with us.

At the risk of being a bit contrarian, if the Board had sacked Manning before the Bristol City talk arose with us second in the table and appointed Des in his place, this forum would have gone into meltdown and rightly so. Imho part of the current hero worship of our new manager is due to us feeling jilted, we are on the rebound at present and we think we’ve found a cracking replacement shag really quickly.
I‘m not subscribing yet to the ‘he’s the Messiah’ enthusiasm. On paper he looks good but let’s see how the next 10 games go.
I largely agree with you, but I’m also too busy taking a bloody good piping to care.At the risk of being a bit contrarian, if the Board had sacked Manning before the Bristol City talk arose with us second in the table and appointed Des in his place, this forum would have gone into meltdown and rightly so.

Yesss ... if we draw at Cheltenham and lose to Bolton there will be people on here whinging and asking whether Appleton is available. Though Des being a local boy might get him another game or two.At the risk of being a bit contrarian, if the Board had sacked Manning before the Bristol City talk arose with us second in the table and appointed Des in his place, this forum would have gone into meltdown and rightly so.
