Golden Balls Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 He's off but I don't see it as good news. He's not a very good manager at all and apart from a run of 8-9 games towards the end of the season, he's been very underwhelming.
FloridaMarlin Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 Oh dear. They think they are going to get Gary Monk/Nigel Pears on or Aitor Karanka to replace him.
Pedro Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 Didn't Saints fans loose a lot of money on shares, proper shares that is, when the holding company went into Administration.
Pamplemousse Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 Oh dear. They think they are going to get Gary Monk/Nigel Pears on or Aitor Karanka to replace him. Seen a few shouts for Uncle Avram too

But it's feckin good news, The useless know it all p**sed up scouse c**t, with the backing he's had from the idiots on the top table should of been promoted last season, make a change from watching a team pass it along the centre line for 80 min's of a game,
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 Seen a few shouts for Uncle Avram too Be good for the local prossie trade, money for the local economy and all that
Batman Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 League 1....should imagine it will be a doddle being the massive, gine-agerous club they are. Reckon they will get a decent manager top drop down, ala pardew.... nothing less than top 2 IMO
buctootim Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 Seen a few shouts for Uncle Avram too Could have a happy ending
suewhistle Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 Didn't Saints fans loose a lot of money on shares, proper shares that is, when the holding company went into Administration. Yep. Fortunately it was only like a bit of a play punt for me, and to have a few AGM rights, I knew I'd never make money on them.
Ohio Saint Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 Bottom half Championship with occasional forays down to League One until they find someone to build them a new ground which doesn't cost them a fortune. I've thought about this long and flacid. I think I'd like to see them on the world stage of the premier league........every other year. A perpetual cycle of humiliation where everyone can see it. Open top bus parade for play off win every other year, followed by public shaming for finishing bottom the next. .....i can dream!
Kenilworthy Posted 27 May, 2017 Posted 27 May, 2017 Yep. Fortunately it was only like a bit of a play punt for me, and to have a few AGM rights, I knew I'd never make money on them. The same for me. I lost about two grands worth of shares. When i say 'lost' it wasn't exactly lost because I would never have sold the shares. It might have been nice for former shareholders to have some sort of acknowledgement after the take over. I know that's naive.

rooney Posted 28 May, 2017 Posted 28 May, 2017 Yep. Fortunately it was only like a bit of a play punt for me, and to have a few AGM rights, I knew I'd never make money on them. I seem to recall that we wanted to pool them so we could vote Rupes out at the AGM. The shares were quite high when I bought mine with my son and son-in-law but gradually reduced in value over time. We did not have many though.
Mr Biscuits Posted 28 May, 2017 Posted 28 May, 2017 Only the skates would be so disrespectful towards such an entertaining manager (for us), the manager who got them promoted. Also quite liking the way they think League one is going to be a breeze for them. This thread is never going to die is it?
The9 Posted 28 May, 2017 Posted 28 May, 2017 (edited) They'd better not go after Mike Flynn. Thierry Henry has been glowing about him and we all know how highly the Skates rate his opinion. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40071169 On the bright side Flynn is ex-Wigan too, so...

"Football clubs strive to identify managers to fit into their respective ambition. Rarely is the right choice made in what is an unpredictable science." Astonishingly poor drivel as usual from Factless.

Astonishingly poor drivel as usual from Factless. Should read "Poor football clubs..." and make up your own conclusions.

Or the new boy on the block ain't as stupid as the bunch of ****heads that are on there way out, Cook'still got a year on the Tab, so dangle him wait for wigwam to take the bate, and they will owe us at least a Macky Deeee as well, Win Win,

eurosaint Posted 28 May, 2017 Posted 28 May, 2017 TBF, Wigan is a bit like Beverley Hills compared to Skatesville ! Who can question the lifestyle decision of a sophisticated 'man about town' like Cookie, eh ? :)
suewhistle Posted 29 May, 2017 Posted 29 May, 2017 Not inconceivably, he may instead have taken residence in a bar during a well-deserved post-season sabbatical. Possibly in the drunken company of McInnes, if my Pompey supporting bar steward (really) is correct in recounting the tale of their behaviour down Goldsmith Avenue at the end of the season.. It's actually very difficult not to imagine John Major writing that 'not inconceivably' and reading it in his voice..
rallyboy Posted 29 May, 2017 Posted 29 May, 2017 So the Wigan of the South has been outbid by the real Wigan...
Pamplemousse Posted 29 May, 2017 Posted 29 May, 2017 On Twitter, a lot of the Blue Phew want Appleton back! Of course, the #deludedest are trotting out the usual big names that wouldn't touch them with a barge pole
Depressed of Shirley Posted 30 May, 2017 Posted 30 May, 2017 According to the loud mouth skate idiot standing 5 yards behind me at the golf yesterday, the reason Cook is going is that the promised promotion bonuses and pay rise for him and his coaching staff are not going to be paid. Cook rightly taking offence and leaving as he doesn't think the club have the money. It never ends down there does it?
rallyboy Posted 30 May, 2017 Posted 30 May, 2017 I find it difficult to believe that pompey would fail to pay staff what they are owed...

Gemmel Posted 30 May, 2017 Posted 30 May, 2017 Has the takeover actually happened? As in cash changed hands and new people in place.
LGTL Posted 30 May, 2017 Posted 30 May, 2017 Has the takeover actually happened? As in cash changed hands and new people in place. No.
Golden Balls Posted 30 May, 2017 Posted 30 May, 2017 (edited) The Pompey hashtag on twitter is a lot of fun right now. - unrealistic managerial suggestions - hero/villain Cook swing - Wigan fans baiting the skates - skates chomping on the bait. Decent swing here.... Edited 30 May, 2017 by Golden Balls
benjii Posted 30 May, 2017 Posted 30 May, 2017 Exclusivity runs to end of the month iirc In this case, I suspect that is something of a moot point.
Weston Super Saint Posted 30 May, 2017 Posted 30 May, 2017 In this case, I suspect that is something of a moot point. Meh! You say that like there aren't handfuls of suitors lining up to buy the bestest club in the world now that they have confirmed they are for sale....
Danbert Posted 31 May, 2017 Posted 31 May, 2017 Seems they're after Kenny Jacket - they could do worse. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40104953
Pamplemousse Posted 31 May, 2017 Posted 31 May, 2017 Jackett would be a good fit for them. I just hope he remembers to mention how great the fans are
rallyboy Posted 31 May, 2017 Posted 31 May, 2017 I just hope he can cope with a big club with great history, after all, Wolverhampton Wanderers doesn't really prepare you for a job as big as this one.
Chez Posted 31 May, 2017 Posted 31 May, 2017 “After we got promoted I stated how I wanted to stay at the club for a long time, how much I loved the club and I didn’t want to leave." I wanted a new long term contract, on more money. I made sure I told the fans what they wanted to hear. "The big disappointment then was in the next couple of weeks. It was quite clear which direction the club wanted to go in with the new American owners coming in. My request fell on deaf ears. Eisner clearly doesn't rate me. "With a heavy heart I decided now was the right time to move on. It wasn’t the Portsmouth that I had joined.” I'm glad to get away from the moaning dinlos. The Riquelme talk has restarted.
eurosaint Posted 1 June, 2017 Posted 1 June, 2017 Jackett would be a good fit for them. I just hope he remembers to mention how great the fans are I would like to hear Trousers' opinion on this one
rooney Posted 1 June, 2017 Posted 1 June, 2017 Jackett would be a good fit for them. I just hope he remembers to mention how great the fans are But would he turn up
rallyboy Posted 1 June, 2017 Posted 1 June, 2017 Are they going to make a decision on Jackett or just leave him hanging? They should collar him as soon as possible and tie him down before the fans get shirty. sorry.
trousers Posted 1 June, 2017 Posted 1 June, 2017 I would like to hear Trousers' opinion on this one I thinking they would be making great strides if they went for Jackett
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 1 June, 2017 Author Posted 1 June, 2017 Seams like we need a new thread. Very clever. I just hope they manage to collar him.
Weston Super Saint Posted 1 June, 2017 Posted 1 June, 2017 Belt and braces approach now they're in League 1.
Badger Posted 1 June, 2017 Posted 1 June, 2017 Will he have the fans in his pocket though. Yes, he'll have it sewn up in no time.
