You do see a lot of top managers slaughtering individual players through the public media. You could be on to something there.

Has Hughes been sacked?

Adkins clearly felt Fox was not up to the job hence our pursuit of a replacement LB. It would seem a joint effort between Adkins and Les Reeds team to identify targets and for NC to seal the deal so I'm not clear as to why you are pointing the finger at Adkins.

He didn't have a lot of alternative options. For whatever reason we did not acquire an LB during the summer and he clearly felt that Shaw was not ready at that point. Your proposal would have been.......?

Didn't the first one get melted down?

I believe it could be true. Someone from the Chelsea Board told little Dicky.

I had a chuckle when browsing through Skysports last night and came across the Pompey v LO game. Clicked on the 'team lineups' where they show the pics of the players in their relative playing positions to find only 1(?) of them wearing Portsmouth kit and one player (a centre-half) with no picture at all. Stating the obvious but they are in as much mess on the pitch as off it. http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/262912/teams

It's a genuine question, what are we going to do? It's been discussed ad infinitum on several threads, in large by the same few posters with two schools of thought: - the Club is the devil incarnate or - there are unknown business reasons why they chose to withhold payment You have posted the same key points of your view time and time again. You have been asked time and time again what the end goal is from your side and yet you don't seem able to provide an answer to such a simple question. We could, of course keep discussing the topic but where will that get us as it can be summarised as above.

What shall we do now that we are armed with this information?

A fair and accurate observation.

Less of the reasonableness please BBB, there's no place for that on this forum

When are we marching? There's a few roadworks to negotiate around the Civic Centre but we should be able to circumnavigate those.

We should have a few more threads on this.

That did make me chuckle, lol. Seen him twice and seen enough in those two games that I'd like to think he can be a benefit to the squad.

Did you get bored last night Saint Charlie?

Lol. Maybe Nigel has tried both - I wonder which one it was that worked?!

His consistency - or apparent lack of - is what let's him down (IMO) but by all accounts and from the highlights I saw of the weekend game he looked fantastic. Kevin Pietersen would be impressed with his 'reintegration'. Long may it continue, he seems one of those players that needs an arm around him from the Manager to get the best out of him.

Is that the case?

It's been discussed at length on a previous thread(s) so I doubt there's more that can be added as no new information has come to light but for a few it gives them the opportunity to bash their keyboard into oblivion once more. Each to their own.

It's fish n chip paper, last weeks news. In fact the Echo ran the story themselves. It's something when their online media is behind their printed media.

I'm confused I thought Nicola was our Manager with his Les Reed his Assistant and Nigel just a Coach?

A low-key thread to give some balance the 'work has stopped' thread is acceptable I would have thought?

You could be on to something there. Or just on something. I seem to recall one of our prolific posters claiming the J-Rod pictures accompanying his signing were photoshopped too

I've read on here that Cortese is a tyrant and a stickler for adhering to contracts and in no way could possibly be flexible enough in his style to allow this to happen.

I wasn't that impressed with Guly's 15 minute contribution today. Hardly noticeable.
