the colonel Posted 22 November, 2009 Posted 22 November, 2009 Where are our fishy friends I've not seen them on here for a while? Is it that things aren't going so good for them and they are scared to put their scaly heads above water? Surely not.
saint lard Posted 22 November, 2009 Posted 22 November, 2009 I understand Avram Grant still can't get his work permit and quite possibly unlikely to. Icing on the cake would be for them to sack Hart and install Burley. Mind you,Harts doing a fine job

Saint in Paradise Posted 22 November, 2009 Posted 22 November, 2009 Hart must stay at all costs Perhaps one of you computer aces could start a facebook (?) page giving Mr Hart full support.

CB Fry Posted 22 November, 2009 Posted 22 November, 2009 I understand Avram Grant still can't get his work permit and quite possibly unlikely to. Icing on the cake would be for them to sack Hart and install Burley. Mind you,Harts doing a fine job Why would it be unlikely? He's been working in this country in a similar capacity over the last few years including a Pompey and at one of the biggest clubs in the land, and in his last employment he managed said club to the Champion's League final. Refusing a work permit on Grant's CV (on paper, not saying I'd want him at Saints particularly) would be the unlikely scenario in my book.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 23 November, 2009 Author Posted 23 November, 2009 Hart must stay at all costs If he left they would fall apart. One thing I give him credit for is he has them playing with spirit and under the circumstances that must have taken some doing!

All managers of English teams must hold the UEFA Pro License before 01/01/2010. The last intake did not include Grant and it is not possible for him to hold the qualification before this date. Not sure of what loopholes there are,considering he was gaffer at Chelsea. Ok i know he is not employed as manager,but this is the scenario which is planned Just passing on info given.

Ok i know he is not employed as manager,but this is the scenario which is planned Just passing on info given. I would have thought he would have more chance of getting the work permit as a coach/manager (due to his past record). He has applied under the position of DoF, which in essence is a football administration job. The Home Office looking at this could quite rightly ask, why does any sporting establishment in this country need an administrator from outside the EU?
Doctoroncall Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Is there any reason why Tommy Smith is no longer playing (payments due to games played)? He was rated as one of their better players.
rallyboy Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 I think his knees gave up when he got to fifty, though they could do with him, Hunter alongside, Harris and Reaney, it would have to look more secure. Obvious comic misunderstandings aside, being rated one of Pompey's best players is like being voted the nicest serial killer or the least greedy MP. Maybe.... 1. He's frightened of open spaces and rows of seating, and saw that they took less to Stoke at the weekend for a vital game than we are going to take to Hartlepool on a wet Tuesday night. 2. Doesn't believe Hart every week when he says they have been the better team and the results will come. 3. They haven't paid him. 4. They haven't paid for him. 5. He doesn't want to get caught up in the Jihad that is brewing behind the scenes.

mack rill Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Is there any reason why Tommy Smith is no longer playing (payments due to games played)? He was rated as one of their better players. If you Pony boys get an answer let us the Blue Few-er in on it. What a shyt penalty!:mad:
View From The Top Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 What a shyt penalty!:mad: I disagree my old fish fiddler, I thought it a splendid penalty.
Dark Munster Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Hart must stay at all costs Yes he must, bless him. I just hope they don't realise his dog could do a better job.
Crab Lungs Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Where is our fishy little friend Corpy? Hiding.... AGAIN.
The Majestic Channon Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Ali al-Faraj still hasn't visited portsmuff according to the skate news . Don't blame him, he probably heard ethiopians are holding a concert in aid of portsmuffians
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Any other prem season they will be dead and buried by now, look how close it was when we went down for christ sake ???? I am worried that they may survive due to other clubs in and around the drop zone just being absolutely sh*te this year. God i hope they go into admin, and soon, then i can sit happily in the knowledge that any of my next arguements with my skate mate will be swiftly won.
rallyboy Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 you are right, 30pts might be enough at this rate, there are some woeful teams. The only worrying thing from their point of view is that despite 5/6 awful teams failing miserably Pompey have still managed to pull away at the bottom and as we all know, that deep well where you store those great escapes of the past suddenly runs dry and it's someone else like Hull or West Ham that win three on the trot. They do have some winnable games in the run-in so it could be possible with a new manager and squad changes, but a lot will depend on whether someone wants to lend more to improve things. Ideally they will be 12pts off safety at the end of January and just plan (badly) for the Championship.
chocco boxo Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 I've had a bet that P*mpey will not win more than 5 league games between now and end of season. EASY MONEY. BTW this season that is ;-)

God i hope they go into admin, and soon, then i can sit happily in the knowledge that any of my next arguements with my skate mate will be swiftly won. Have been saying this for some time - they could well survive. They maybe shyte, they may have made an awful start to the season, but others have not capitalized on it. There are some woeful teams in the Prem this year and I think that the saftey zone will be drastically reduced. Another 5 points would see them out of the relegation zone - there is time for them to improve while others falter. All of that said, I think that they have a pretty tough run of games coming up leading upto the xmas period - so they could yet get cut adrift. I honestly thought that they would get out of trouble because other teams were so pants - however, I think the next 6 - 7 games will now cement my views. 'Merry Christmas Saints' fans - they're down, however it could be a 'Bleak Mid Winter' and they survive. Place your bets...!

Dark Munster Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Hart has left according to SSN I wonder if his dog is going to take over?
Hatch Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Did you know Zaki refused to join Pompey because they have Jewish players on their books. Haven't read whole thread so may have been mentioned already.
Micky Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Hart has left according to SSN Here too: http://www.skysports.com/football/premier-league/0,19734,11660,00.html Shame really, because if anybody has come out of this whole sorry mess with any dignity it is him. OK he didn't get the results, but lets be fair - who would of. Conducted himself well throughout a torrid time - I wish him well.
chocco boxo Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Came across well I thought, he made me get back into watching MOTD again as every saturday he was tyalking very well about another defeat! LOL.
jawillwill Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 LOL@ the comment from a 606 poster used in this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8377374.stm Something gives me the impression 'O_Lord_Marian' isn't a Pompey fan!
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Don't hold your breath for your compo Mr Hart, clearly he was used but he would have been aware of that going into this season, he will have gained further respect in the game due to his conduct. Long may their poor form continue, which I believe it will irrespective of who is at the helm.
jawillwill Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 LOL@ the comment from a 606 poster used in this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8377374.stm Something gives me the impression 'O_Lord_Marian' isn't a Pompey fan! Pah, they appear to have taken his comment off the article. The replacement comment is still from a saints fan though.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 24 November, 2009 Author Posted 24 November, 2009 Getting rid of Hart is madness for them. Much as I hate Poopey, I have to admit Hart had them playing with spirit and not a little skill. Sacking him will be the biggest nail in their coffin imo. I really can't believe they have done what they have. This proves the lunatics have well and truly taken over the asylum.
SimonRichards Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 LOL@ the comment from a 606 poster used in this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8377374.stm "Hart, 56, was offered a role as technical director responsible for players aged 18-21, but declined it." Trying to tiptoe around a settlement?

I think it'll be the other way around, unless of course they get Adams in! early rumours suggest Darren Ferguson will come in. What are the odds of him being there in time for saturday and pulling off a victory against manure?

benjii Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Lol - Slaven Billic being touted by an ex-skate on Solent. I will eat my hat if he takes such a **** job!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Just saying on Solent that the Ploppy Council have voted 13 - 4 against their World cup bid. And it's getting better!
hypochondriac Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Just saying on Solent that the Ploppy Council have voted 13 - 4 against their World cup bid. And it's getting better! Time for someone to fill the void...

rallyboy Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 sad news, I was enjoying his reign. Anyway I guess they are now entering their Wigley phase followed by their 'big name desperate for a job' - ''what there's no money?..But I can't do anything with this bunch of losers, you told me there was big funding on the horizon'' phase. It can't be as funny as the last few months but there should be some laughs along the way.
Johnny Shearer Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 1000/1 ? I might just put some money on that if Ferguson Jr is appointed.
Katalinic Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 The only way this whole episode could get any funnier would be if they announced the appointment of George Burley tomorrow.
aintforever Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 I can't decide if this is good or bad news, considering what he's had to work with Hart couldn't have done alot more, there's a chance he's been working miracles just to get to 7 points and they will now capitulate. Looks like a panic decision to me, they don't have anything to lose by giving somone else a go because at the moment they look doomed. I can't see anyone decent touching that job with a barge pole.
dubai_phil Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Avram Grant will be appointed. Then they'll have a problem with his UEFA Pro and will ask for a dispensation And the PL who have had it up to there with them will, to our delight, tell them to fook off and so it will go on
Durleyfos Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 I didn't think they played too badly on Sunday. They've just got noone to score any goals. lol.

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 That'll be Curbishley, I expect. He has already been mentioned in this context on the radio this evening.
NickG Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Avram Grant will be appointed. Then they'll have a problem with his UFA Pro and will ask for a dispensation And the PL who have had it up to there with them will, to our delight, tell them to fool off and so it will go on Solent saying Grant ruled himself out - Mancini favorite!!!???
pilsburydoughboy Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Perhaps they will tempt the Chelsea boss or Rafa when he is sacked tomorrow with all the Arab cash.
