Agreed. Excellent podcast as always. The Bazunu point mentioned could be applied to any of our squad.

I reckon we’ll make maybe one more loan and that’ll be it.

I don’t think Juric would’ve been beneficial in anyway. There was no noticeable change in style of play or aggression or attacking intent after he joined or during his tenure. He was no different to Tonda Eckhart in the grand scheme of things. You could argue that sticking with Russell Martin would’ve been the way to go. Look at Ipswich, still with Kieron McKenna - they started slow but will win the league without a shadow of a doubt now.

It is the classic “if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry”, so I’ve decided to find this continuously and endlessly hilarious from now on. It takes me back to the old Pompey Takeover Saga days, where every day was a news day and a funny one. Sport Republic are shambolic. 😂

That is pretty damning and accurate, cannot fault that. I wonder if the fan advisory panel have been as direct?

Why hire an analyst to state the problems. Us fans have been doing it for free, on mass, for years.

They won’t sack him until play offs are mathematically impossible. Like Juric when we were relegated last season.

BuT oUr xG pEr GaMe!!!!!

It’s mentalist it that people like Alex Neil are now getting the approval rating from Saints fans. This isn’t a dis towards Hypo, it’s purely indicative of how far we have fallen. We have fallen so far that we’ll take any relative low end EFL manager now over the PE teacher.

Imagine picking a manager that had some kind of authority. Mad right.

Just been listening to TSP, quite interesting the thought that if we don’t get a result against Sheffield United, would you trust him to lead the team to Portsmouth? Or would SR?

They touched on it in Adam and Jo, he’s an analyst, not a coach, not a manager

I’ve just text my mate and said for him to lump every penny he and his partner have on a Pompey win next weekend.

They stripped back everything and consolidated effectively all the scouting from club by club to one big special group. Have any of you ever wondered why half the scouts have left since Ralph Hassenhutl went? The way the club operated competently was changed, people were asked to do roles and take up jobs which weren’t their responsibility or time to do. Loads of scouts have left since SR took over.

It’s aged brilliantly now

The home truths bit tickles me. Absolute bullshit does he have the stomach to tell the players how poor they are.

They’ll appoint some other fuckwit. Probably the assistant coach they appointed two weeks ago. They’ll never learn.

The muppet will be here until the end of the season

Absolute fucking bollocks that. He’s used that phrase before.

We had a chance to win many football matches over Christmas, Tonda. You and your team selections fucked it.

Lube up and spread those cheeks fellas. You’re going to take a pounding! Sheffield United scoring at least three.

We won’t be changing the manager again this season. Or certainly until the play offs are unreachable. A bit like how we waited until the day after relegation was confirmed to sack Ivan Juric.

No one wanted Gary O’Neil. That’s on the fans.

We have to put it right next game. Then the next. Then the next. And the one after that. We’ve heard it endlessly over Christmas.
