We failed to buy a proper centre forward in the summer. Instead we bought a load of mediocre wingers and inside forwards, who don't score goals.
Ayoub El Kaabi would have been ideal for us. He might cost a bit more now, but we should still try to get him in January. His goals could still keep us up. |

Even The News, which is usually full of Pompey propaganda, seems to have given up on them:
"Pitiful Pompey were an absolute shambles, almost to a man, embarrassingly devoid of heart, belief and fight. Most galling of all, they looked every inch a League One side."
And judging from the comments, the Pompey Boo Boys are also going to turn against them if they don't win their next home game, which, as they haven't won at Fratton Park since April, is not unlikely
"No wins in eight, nine if you include the league cup. One goal (an own goal) in five home games, that is relegation form. Eisner's refusal to spend serious money in the summer was a recipe for disaster. Norris is an accident waiting to happen. If we don't get a result on Saturday then this could get ugly."

If they'd had more control over us, we wouldn't be in the position we are now. |

Why is it such a frightening thought? Don't worry. He's not going to come here anyway, .not even if we offered him the incentive of Lallana as his assistant. |

Andy Woodman would be even more amusing. What a laugh a minute that would be. It's hard to believe that he's Gareth Southgate's best mate. They're like chalk and cheese. [Post edited 2 Oct 11:18]

Potter takes Billy Reid with him as his assistant wherever he goes. He was with him at Östersund, Swansea, Brighton and Chelsea so he wouldn't agree to Lallana being a replacement for him. Even a big club like Chelsea had to accept Reid. Most top managers have a long-term assistant they trust. He wouldn't want to train Lallana as his replacement. So, Potter and Lallana is a non-starter.

Potter, Dyche and Moyes seem to have replaced Redknapp, Hughes and Allardyce as the go to managers for any Premier League club that's in trouble. Meanhile, successful clubs recruit their managers from abroad. [Post edited 2 Oct 10:46]

Reply | Bella-Kotchap
at 10:10 2 Oct 2024
Some of the players who got worse here, to the extent we all agreed we needed to get rid of them, have surprised us by going on on to do quite well at other clubs. Lemina, for example, is captain and regularly Man of the Match for Wolves and even Vestergaard has helped Leicester win a Championship title and is still a regular for them in the Premier League.
The problem with Bella-Kotchap is that he was used to higher standards at his previous clubs and made it known that he was unhappy with the way the club was being managed. He then started making his feelings known to the other players. That's why Martin doesn't want him anywhere near the team. It will, of course, not be a big surprise if Bella-Kotchap goes on to do very well at his next club. He's a German international defender. But no manager wants a player who makes it clear that he doesn't respect him. [Post edited 2 Oct 10:18]

Potter won't come here as he's waiting for a bigger club and even if he did, In order to get him we'd have to bend over backwards and then some so we certainly wouldn't be laying down conditions about him accepting an assistant manager. |

Yes, but he was a better manager. Not many Premier League managers last more than 2 years. You have to be above average to do that. [Post edited 2 Oct 9:53]

Reply | How about Lallana as interim Player Manager

If we're going down the club connection route (and SR probably aren't), Fonte is better managerial material than Lallana. I could see him sorting out our defence and improving our younger players. With his connections in Portugal and France, he'd probably attract some good players here too. He's 40 now and would jump at the chance to manage Saints, even in our current predicament.

Ugochukwu has very quickly gone from 'looks like a good signing' (euphemism for 'I know absolutely nothing about him') to 'let's get rid of him as soon as possible' ('I've seen him play now'). [Post edited 1 Oct 10:36]
