I’m going to stick my neck out and say he isn’t going anywhere, yet.

LW has been at numerous clubs and spoke passionately and at length about how so many of them have no idea what they are doing, lurching from one disaster to the next with no strategy….sounds familiar.

I don’t have a great knowledge of Portsmouth and how well run they are but looking from the outside they don’t seem to have been very stable or successful of late. Before LW arrived some solid foundations had been out in place by the owners and previous managers, which has helped him immensely this year…even by his own admission. A style of play and general philosophy that suits LW in firmly in place now and he is 20 odd games away from becoming a Notts hero, he has everything here to build his reputation and have a promotion and possible cup win on his CV.

Going to Portsmouth now would be difficult. I doubt the Cowley brothers have instilled a style of play or have many players of the ilk that LW would consider ‘his’ type of player. He would effectively have to rebuild the side and style of play all whilst having to live with the expectations of getting promotion…a massive ask…and it isn’t inconceivable that if it doesn’t start right he could be without a job and his reputation tarnished before the seasons end.

He isn’t going to Portsmouth.
