Next Manager Search - August 2023

Us fans have only got the facts and figures when looking at managers. We don't see what they're like in training, how good they are with man management behind the scenes and what the real context is by every success or failure. I was dead against Powell being appointed first time around. I thought it was sentimental but how wrong was I. He'd apparently really impressed in his interview. Even still he was helped by epic recruitment in the summer funded by the Jenkinson money all masterminded in great detail by Varney, Chapple and Powell.

I'm not going to write off anyone, I've been wrong many times before.

Right, Scott Parker. If he comes, I go. It will be my last season. It's not even that I hate him, although I do.

It's because he's just a little bit thick. He lacks every skill set a decent manager needs. Inspirational qualities; tactical nous; luck; man management skills; leadership; and coaching skills.  He has none of these in my opinion and have I mentioned that he is a dullard?

In addition, with his choice of cardigans, it would be impossible for any player to look at him and not laugh rather than take him seriously.

It may be me but, his head looks like it's a size too big for his body, and stuck on as an afterthought
...🙄

Looks to me like he's just sunk a tricky short putt to keep himself in contention of making the cut at a low ranking golf tournament and is acknowledging some muted polite applause from a sparse crowd.

That cardie makes him look like he's just bunked off primary school...

I think the reaction is because we’ve tried all the different styles in the last 17 years:

Former favourite and legend- Powell ✔️ 
Hard nosed, authoritarian- Bowyer ✔️ 
Foreign coach- loads ✔️ 
Foreign non league coach- Fraeye ✔️ 
Progressive up and coming manager- Garner ✔️ 
No dickheads nice guy northerner- Holden ✔️ 

Guess it’s time we went for vanilla, bland, lower league bloke with connection to Greenwich.

I really think we could expect to push the boat out fo Jones though. This idea that he’s unreachable is odd.

Didn’t we already try that with Slade?

Cowley did an absolute shocking job at Pompey. I really don’t know who I want out of the likely ones it’s going to be. Just gotta crack on and get behind him 😐

Shocking? Where's that from. 

P97
w42
d27
l28
Win ratio 43.3

shocking!!

If you think the Cowleys were poor there, wait until you see our club’s league WDL record over the period that the Cowley’s were in charge of Pompey:

P80
W28
D22
L30
Win Ratio 35%

A period that effectively covers Adkins, Jackson and Garner.

I was defending their record!

they would be third on my shortlist and I do not think they would be a bad appointment

Curbs Ratio..1991/2006

P : 720
W : 274
D : 187
L  : 259
Win Ratio :38.1%

I remember the days of being sent off to primary school, in my £1300 cardigan, ready to bunk off 

Same school was it...😉

Really hoping for Roy Keane. With recent events he might like the change of role. 😄

That’s fucked it then, he’s probably Methvens son…

Cowley has definitely made it to the second round of interviews.

I hope he shaves his little beard before the interview or it's a big no from me 

And stops dying his hair

Saw 193 unread posts, a reference to an expensive top looking like school uniform and thought we must have announced LB.

He seemed to live in his expensive grey Gucci v-neck which is as the spit of the old jumpers at Our Lady of Grace, Charlton.

2+2 did not equal anything and it seems we’re all still in the dark
