Rob the Saint Posted 3 December, 2009 Share Posted 3 December, 2009 MARK WOTTE is a candidate to head Portsmouth's youth academy after Paul Hart rejected the job. The ex-Southampton boss would replace Ian Woan, who has been promoted to assist Avram Grant, Hart's successor as Pompey manager.

JRM Posted 3 December, 2009 Share Posted 3 December, 2009 you can see it now, the skates get relegated in the summer, financial crisis, grant leaves at the end of the year, they cannot afford to appoint anyone so promote from within and as they already have someone with experience of managing in the Championship with no money.................

RedAndWhite91 Posted 3 December, 2009 Share Posted 3 December, 2009 He'll go to the skates, destroy them from within, then come back to Southampton as a hero. That's why he's been seen at St. Mary's so often. They have been briefing him about the covert operation. Watch this space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say i hope he does well, but for the skates, well, i don't Not sure why you would think that, didn't show much promise with our youth last season, made Lallana look crap when it turns out a decent coach can make him look very good. Still I hope he gets the job at Pompey and is soon able to show his worth at a small and getting smaller club. At least he has experience at the Championship level should come in handy next season.

Interesting comment about Lallana, would you say the same about Pearson's sporadic use of Lallana and bizarre treatment of Surman? I have a lot of time for Mark Wotte not least because of the manner in which he conducted himself from the moment he was appointed manager to date and IMO deserves the chance to get back involved with the English game. Trouble is Vectis we can all afford to be selective to support our own agendas but by the same token he got a lot out of Gillett and bought McLaggon to our attention and it was a great shame the latter got injured. Under Wotte, Saints were a much better side in circumstances we can only begin to guess at and the announcement of administration finally did for Mark Wotte what it would have done for Pardew or any other manager in his position. Remember how Pardew perfromed at Charlton when money was beyond tight and tied along with his hands as was the case for Wotte? Shrewd move by Avram Grant if you ask me and personally they have my good wishes as two successful clubs in Hampshire can only be good for us all and promote a healthy and respected rivalry.

Of course, there was a really healthy and respected rivalry when we were both in the Prem. And in addition in 84 for the Cup game at Fratton when they were a decent Div 2. team and we were in our glory period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I hope he gets the job at Pompey and is soon able to show his worth at a small and getting smaller club. At least he has experience at the Championship level should come in handy next season. Lack of experience is what made Lallana inconsistent is the way I would put it - dropped in at the deep end because we had no other choice - Lallana now has the benefit of that experience of last year and has progressed well in a side that also has more experience - To suggest Wotte made him 'look crap' is a bit disengenous. Wotte was not everyones cup of tea and will forever be associated with the failed 'experiment' and the end of teh Lowe years, but that does not mean he was not a perfectly capable coach at the right level. They way those kids played or tried to play at times was sweet to watch, but tasted bitter when defeated by greater experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have guessed you would poke your head above the parapet with someone having a go at your Lord and master's puppet. When will people realise that Gillett is not a youngster. And actually Pearson did do well with Lallana when he introduced him (ignoring his League Cup appearance against Yeovil). Wotte was crap with kids, it was the other fella that was supposed to be good with youngsters, not Wotte. Still good to see you acknowledge that you are selective when supporting your own agenda. I have no agenda, I support Saints and have done so for over 40 years, and I am now very happy that the Dutch fiasco is behind us and the Lowe era now history. Wotte deserves very little credit, OK he handled the situation well when he was about to lose his job, but his vitriole against proper supporters earlier in the season meant he was always a dead man walking. Pompey deserve him, and I hope he does what I expect him to do with their set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't misuse Lallana he barely played him - he misused Surman. But Lallana subsequently showed he wasn't up to playing a full season at that stage. Either that or he was poor last season because of Poortvliet or Wotte. You can't have it both ways. In any case Pearson did what he needed to do - you speak as though he failed. And don't come on with some meaningless statistics. We were going down the pan. He kept us up. He has now got a team promoted and into the top eschalons of the Championship. He is obviously a much better manager than Wotte or Poortvliet. Just accept that Poortvliet and Wotte were both a terrible farce and be done with it. There is no other sensible viewpoint.
