He played 40 odd games the year Leeds got to the play-offs, it was last season that he hardly played, probably due to Grayson coming in. If he's a Pulis replacement then OK I can see that as an improvement taking into account his reckless challenges and woeful positional sense, but I'm sure there are other players available and I'm not talking EPL/CCC players as they are out of reach. What about the Knightlys, Gowers, Pratelys, Mackell-Smiths, Boyds, Mattocks, Togwells etc, etc.

so... all we are going to do is buy is failed league one team's cast offs... lol

he's found his level so unless we wish to stick around the lower leagues, it's no thank you.

why? you want to been seen as having some "class" by chanting out his name in support. Why not send him an expensive get well card to show some class!

wasn't there a poll on this a week or so back?

SAF has said no. Well from what I can remember it was late in the transfer window and it caused disruption to the team (that finished 9th and a FA cup final the season before I think) so a big gamble with the season already started.

interesting to get the story behind the signing of those two... did he want them or were they forced on him.

Les Reed was a good coach that should not have been promoted... He runs a consultancy business now: http://sportsassociatedsolutions.com/Biog.htm

I have the bizzare image in my head of 25k supports signing out Good Luck John!

nope

So August it is then before he can start rebuilding the depleted squad... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jul/15/portsmouth-sulaiman-al-fahim-takeover ...dosn't leave long for the millionaire to spend his small fortune!

So that's why he signed a 4-year contract with a club who has a wealth backer and Hull and Burnley aren't really in the EPL.

I struggled too! I don't mind Strachan but not my preferred choice (esp after hearing about things at Celtic) but Wise is a very odd choice considering it was Poyet who was the brains behind the duo.

He has. Davies started one and sub in another two games last season. Which I would suspect is better than a complete season of Pulis wasting the physio's time.

4th September is the next England U-21 match (away to Macedonia)

Success costs... but it doesn't have too. Get a good manager and like Swansea, Peterborough, S****horpe and Doncaster spending money isn't the only option.

So the player can then sod off after a season to a bigger team or get's injured.

Their Chairman has put quite a bit of money into the club, not only on the playing staff but the infrastructure and I can see them doing well in the CCC. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2009/mar/27/peterborough-united-mclean-mackail-smith

...but still getting caught out by the linesman!

Spot on, I don't think he has the aptitude or application to the talent he shown in fits and starts.

I'm sure they already had an idea of what qualities they are looking for in a manager (or head coach and DoF) so the time consuming aspect is finding out who is availalbe, who is currently employment that is suitable and talking to them. It wouldn't surprise me if we do go for someone not on the list, perhaps someone Stuart Baxter or Roger Spry (not necessarily them), but someone with a wide range of coaching experience, dealings with top players but most importantly are tactically sound and understand the game.
