If they appoint him they need to bring in a DOF figure who has vast experiece and can help him out, if needed, when we hit a rough patch of results again. And before anyone says it not bloody Redknapp 😂 Appoint Tonda until the end of the season then the risk of having to pay off another manager if it goes tits up is off the table. If he performs and everyone is happy then give him a 2/3 year contract in the summer.

I assume Cap’n Jack has a slight injury does he?

I think you're unsurprisingly (given its you) being a bit hard on him here. Yes he wouldn't be my choice but you can't argue with 3 wins in a row and especially the way they demolished a team away from home in 20 minutes yesterday. That was impressive and as for "it's only Charlton"......you do know Arsenal. Man City and Chelsea aren't in this league right ? It was "only" Blackburn, Hull, Pompey, Preston earlier in the season but yesterday was a million miles from the horlicks those games were. If they get results in the next two matches he will get the job. They've been itching to give it to him anyway. I just hope these players who are currently playing for him remember to carry on doing so when he becomes their full time boss !!

Well I didn’t see that coming ! 🤣 If the players want TE that badly let’s hope they remember that when he’s made permanent!

He rates this lad Bragg doesn’t he?

So if we lose today and fail to win Tuesday what happens then? Do they look elsewhere or stick their fingers in their ears, pretend its all ok and appoint TE anyway ?

If no decision is made by Saturday its quite ironic that the little Welsh genius coach could decide what happens here. If they stuff us then its gonna be hard to give Tonda the job, if we win then it strengthes his case even more !

If we appointed a former Chicago Fire coach this place would go into a bloody huge meltdown.

He would definitely fit the requirement to earn the players respect......just not sure about the rest of it !

Bottom line is the rot started to set in the moment Ms Liebherr sold her controlling interest to Gao. Its been a decline ever since really bar one or two decent moments.

well as far as SR are concerned at this moment it appears not !

It was Alex Crook tbf....... I dont know why some took it as gospel.

Yes I said exactly the same the other day, but apparently it was good for the fans to air their views and discourage the appointment so thats the main thing eh? 🤦‍♂️

Nail on head.

Sorry but anyone who puts Bazunu straight back in cos his distribution is good and reinstates Cap'n Jack at first call isn't the kind of manager I would be advocating.

many a true word......

I thought Chris Perry was ok to be fair. That Olivier Bernard prick, I was really pleased when he signed, then I was there at Blackburn in the pissing rain where we got stuffed and he just couldnt give a flying one, you people think Damion Downs is bad, and yes he is, but that day this guy made him look half acceptable.

Yeah and he wont end up at any of them ! At least Norwich have been spared his fuckability levels of coaching !

Why are people thinking Leeds are going to sack Firke? They aren’t in the bottom 3 and are on 11 points ! I would have given my right arm for us to be on 11 points this time last season !

I'm not sure we are over loaded with them either ! (and no it doesnt mean I'm suggesting him as manager)

Chicken George, now we are going back. I always remember an old gentleman who used to sit near me saying with a perfectly straight face "that Lawrence would be a good player if he remembered to take the ball with him when he runs" !!

100%

Thats exactly the point I'm trying to make. As I said he wouldn't be my choice but bloody hell he only played for them, he hasnt got their badge tatooed on his face ffs.

I'll probably get blasted for this but I thought the "F*ck Gary O'Neil" chants were bloody pathetic. It reminded me of when the more vocal element of our support objected to Lowe bringing back Hoddle and remember how well that worked out with Sturrock being appointed!! Firstly let me say O'Neil wouldnt be my choice BUT he has managed two teams in the Premier League, he did a decent job at Bournemouth and kept them up, same with Wolves. He is not a bloody Pompey supporter, he supports Millwall. Ok he played for them, he tweeted in 2020 a post from 2005 about them hammering us at FP. So what? Boo fkin hoo! The Northam who took great delight in singing constantly "Harry & Jim are Red & White" back in the day, songs about Crouchy being alright now etc etc. What should we do? Have a list of candidates, put their name and photo on the big screen and let the Northam decide the next realisitc manager by their reaction? Double standards, JWP was bought up a Pompey supporter ffs but he's treated as a hero. A potential manager once played for them, has no family link to them and he's public enemy No. 1 ? Give me strength !

Bella-Kotchap isnt bad, he just had an attitude problem. I would replace him with Davenport as mentioned above or Alan Bennett. I would also replace Tall Paul with David Lee (I think that was his name, short arsed winger Branfoot bought in) anfd Delgado with Sekou Mara. Apart from those three thats pretty hard to beat.......well not in a footballing sense obviously !
