They got relegated

Being decisive is also coming out and saying that this club has a long term plans and will not respond to short term setbacks with knee jerk reactions! Edit: sorry Colincj - had not seen your post when I responded to this.

Any player who is receiving a wage from us and who fails to deliver a 100% effort in a match irrespective of their relationship with the manager should be out the door - soon as.

Yes - but doesn't Cortese and his team of scouts and player purchasing board not share equal responsibility for where we are?

To be fair - he's right. You do go on and on and on. We already know your opinion. It doesn't get more right with constant repetition

JRod was my saints MoM. Worked hard and showed real skill and surprisingly quick feet.

A perfectly reasonable point - but his performance in those two games has not been better that our existing keepers so why has he got the place? To my eye he still looks unfit and not as sharp as he should be.

No - but your interpretation is speculation - nothing more, nothing less.

He's flasher?!!!!

But isn't there some debate about how much control he had over signings?

Like or hate Cortese he will not sell any player for less than he is worth. The loan is a red herring.

OK - so take a gamble and get a new manager. Why not try the alternative - take a gamble and stick with the same manager

Three teams will go dowm - that is an absolute certainty. Neither we nor any other club has a God given right to be in the premiership. If any club outside of the top 4 or 5 organises their budget on the basis of staying the premiership then they are reading the manual according to Pompey. Adkins has been relegated before and brought his team back. I am not saying that I want relegation -far from it - but it is not a reason for explosive expulsions from your rear end. And even favourite players can be replaced.

I can only surmise because I don't know, but I think that the answer to that may be that we may have to undergo short term pain - including relegation - to achieve a long term gain. If there is a club ethos to do this then two things follow: 1. It could take some time 2 results may not be great during that time. If it is a club ethos then Adkins can scarcely be sacked for following it since Cortese has presumably had an influence on that decision..

How far do you reckon that you would go when its Mum does the same to you

And the age range would be right

You disagree with Gary Neville then?

I love it This means that any poster who posts anything on here is always right - just like we all knew we were

I think that Mr Green needs to realise that if a European League was going to happen it would have happened by now so he is going to have to find another way to get out of the dung into which their spendthrift ways and incompetent/ dodgy chairmen have dropped them.

He is obviously p!55ed off at being dropped from our pre-season tournament

Just so long as you don't confuse open mindedness with vacant mindedness

Yes - next question

WHat kick? I didn't see that on any replays. Schwarzer fell over without being touched big girl that he was and the referee fell for it.
