    Also worth noting some posters saying the restructure is a cheap option when in reality we will be paying two decent salaries (1 DoF, one head coach) and not one. Hmmmm.

    At some point Archant will spend a few quid and update the forum software to something from this decade. Probably in the next decade.

    Whittaker had a good solid game. Our away form will need to be transformed. Don''t see how that will be done.

    "Banter" is chanting things at your home grown young players that you would usually chant at opposition players? Don''t think so. Supporters support.

    Iron Stan, I was talking about our big money signings because those are our biggest money signings. Trust that is clear.

    Just started a thread saying the same thing, pretty much. Have never understood in game booing, never mind first half booing, unless by absolute exception (Colchester''s fifth goal might have given me reason to boo).

    Not sure why so many have the knives out for Ricky Martin. Perhaps he is employed as a lightning rod to deflect abuse from the board.

    "Fans" who booed Murphy yesterday when he sliced a shot wide at 0-0... Johnny Howson is unimpressed with you. “He’s a young lad and sometimes he needs that experience of maybe making the odd mistake to learn,” said Howson. “Obviously there was a little bit of a reaction with his shot in the first half and to me, people who do things like that to a young lad that’s come through and he’s one of your own if you like, they need to probably have a good look at themselves. “But true credit to Jacob. He pops up with a goal and answers them, so it’s obviously another strength of his that whatever set-back or what people might comment, he carries on going. It’s a terrific trait to have as a player." We don''t want to see Murphy go the way of Llewellyn and Henderson, another youth product destroyed by his own "supporters". Well said Johnny Howson.

    We need a good old fashioned cold winter or a plague, and then bring some new blood in.

    Well, an appointment next week and the new guys have a week to work with the squad and work their magic. It''s the hope that kills you.
  11. Chesney Hawkes
    There''s certainly a chance. I just don''t see us turning our away form around.

    Based on current form..... Sat Apr 1 Aston Villa A - draw Tue Apr 4 Huddersfield Town A - lose Sat Apr 8 Reading H - win Fri Apr 14 Fulham H - draw Mon Apr 17 Preston North End A - lose Fri Apr 21 Live on Sky - Brighton (7.45pm) H - draw Sat Apr 29 Leeds United A - lose Sun May 7 QPR (12pm) H - win 9 points for the remaining 8 games. Won''t be enough. Let it go, let it go Be at one with the wind and sky

    I like the structure as a concept, but as with any formation it will stand or fall based on the people hired to execute the strategy.
  14. Chesney Hawkes
    Results going our way.

    Doesn''t need the final say if he picks the team though. It''s a good example of checks and balances. The DoF is not going to buy players if the Head Coach isn''t going to use them. I think this is a positive move and given our recruitment recently, we need to change it up. Ricky, 8.5m? Hooper 5m Naismith 8.5m? Pritchard 8m Klose 12m? None of our big signings have yet provided the value we might have expected.

    Chants of "you don''t know what you''re doing" as Wes is subbed.

    I gave the wench pulling pints a slow handclap and booed her, it seemed to improve her performance with the second pint.
  18. Chesney Hawkes
    The head coach will be heavily involved in recruitment decisions.
  19. Chesney Hawkes
    I am boycotting today''s game.

    The club is a business with millions of pounds in assets, both structural and personnel related. Businesses do not conduct all their dealings in the public domain for obvious reasons, not least because of the amount of competing businesses and the sensitivity and financial impact of decisions. We are fans, which equates most closely in business terms to paying customers. As customers we don''t get to know about internal company meetings and decisions, we just get the end story in the form of an announcement. Why as fans should we expect anything different? That said, managing expectations is what the club should be doing better. It wouldn''t hurt for someone today to say they are taking longer than planned to finalise the details because it''s more important to get this right than it is to hit a self imposed deadline. In reality the season is over for us whatever the dewy eyed optimists believe, so whether it''s another week or another month is hardly important.

    Fancy wanting our club to be bought out, mismanaged, and then run to the very brink of liquidation. What a sh*te article. The author doesn''t seem to understand how or why Portsmouth got where it got to.
  23. Chesney Hawkes
    We are currently restructuring a week to have twelve days. This way we will hit the deadline.

    He likes to keep it in the family, so would fit in well to the Norfolk lifestyle. Yes from me.
  25. Chesney Hawkes
    Agreed, Flashman.
