TopGun Posted 13 December, 2014 Share Posted 13 December, 2014 Reading the Pompey comments on the News, it seems that they have decided tht Ben Chorley is their new scapegoat a la Johnny Ertl last season. They are mightily hacked off that the next John Terry, "young Jack", has been left out today. Of course we know that "young Jack" was scalped last season in their youth team by Saints youth team in the 7-0 drubbing. ROBINPOMPEY 7:53 PM on 13/12/2014 Chorley is the weak link. Said all season. The man cannot track and shows very little intelligent play. Mr AA you need to change who you pick not the coaches!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can Champagne Iain fire the bullet or not in the next few days? Have they heard of de ja vu in Portsmouth? Bring someone in, they do okay for a bit. After a while it unravels. They then get sacked. Whittingham, Barker, Awford. It'll more than likely happen to Waddock next. They're going to spend so much money paying off people that only spend a matter of months in the job that they'll be in more trouble, if they aren't already.

rallyboy Posted 14 December, 2014 Share Posted 14 December, 2014 At least they still cheer us up when things are not going well. We might be struggling at the moment but it's a struggle to stay in the top six in the country, not a battle to avoid non-league football accompanied by deluded claims of being the best supported, biggest fan-owned bunch of shareholders in the history of world sport.

hutch Posted 15 December, 2014 Share Posted 15 December, 2014 Have they heard of de ja vu in Portsmouth? Bring someone in, they do okay for a bit. After a while it unravels. They then get sacked. Whittingham, Barker, Awford. It'll more than likely happen to Waddock next. They're going to spend so much money paying off people that only spend a matter of months in the job that they'll be in more trouble, if they aren't already. It's a cunning plan to keep the board perpetually on the upside of the swing-o-meter. Replace the manager every six months. That way nobody can blame the incumbent, because he's always lumbered with the previous villain's useless squad of timewasters, and when the o-meter swings, then the board gallantly step in to sack the current useless villain and replace him with a new hero. The "shareholders" will make sure the villain doesn't dare ask for compensation. All while saving the club in their spare time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 15 December, 2014 Share Posted 15 December, 2014 Waddock isn't very popular in football, to my knowledge. New Oxford owners had no hesitation and ditching him for ex-Skate Appleton, plus Wycombe got shot of him very quickly after they were relegated to League Two - he having got them into League One in the first place...

rallyboy Posted 17 December, 2014 Share Posted 17 December, 2014 a pompey fan I know asked me last night who the feck was laughing now - I had a look at the current league structure and would suggest that it's still pretty much us, and at a significant volume. Once again a homeless bloke with no shoes is outside Buckingham Palace, peering through the railings and mocking the choice of curtains in the main drawing room.

Once again a homeless bloke with no shoes is outside Buckingham Palace, peering through the railings and mocking the choice of curtains in the main drawing room. Reminds me of when one of their two or three supporters accused us of schadenfreude when we laughed at their financial problems. Yeah because it's not as if they didn't do the same with us, or rubbed it in when we were relegated in 2005. Nope, not at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
