So... who now?

Interesting that there are no strong rumours, normally if it's a ''known manager'' the press are all over it immediately. Foreign manager maybe?

Well it's someone who's keeping quiet. My bet is it's a foreigner, one who's been waiting in the wings till the bros thought enough is enough. If he is, I hope he's not been following Notts Mad and our pillorying of every manager since Cotterill.

Personally, my choice would be Kenny Jackett, articulate, knows what's happening, and no bullsh!tting the fans or press.

UPDATE! His contract with Portsmouth was terminated this month.

Think if it was Doyle, would have been announced straight away

Nobody taking temporary charge then?

"Joe Bloggs will be in charge of the first team until further notice" is usually how they sign-off on the official announcement of a sacking.

He is my choice as well Lax.

I think he is a few levels up from us but you never know.

The fact they aren't accepting applications and haven't announced a caretaker says someone is already in place.

I'm going to suggest a different set up, I think we will go continental with a DoF and a head coach. Possibly Doyle and O'Brien as the coaches with a DoF who I can't think of but perhaps the chap from football radar who is already a director and does the signings already?

The Pompey Fans dont seem to think very highly of him..

Return of The Coat!

Imagine what he could do with our attacking players.

Oh hang on, we'd need a defence coach too.

No thanks, i remember being at Salford standing behind the goal in the mud. That was the biggest load of crap ever, He had no idea...

Well they are a big club and expect promotion he might have done that still but their owners saw Cowley was available and deemed him better.

He does have a very good record though at all of his clubs.

We arent getting a manager who has been sacked with fans of those clubs praising them
