It's all because Cotterill is a massive tosser.
This is the manager who claimed Pompey outplayed us last season when we beat them 2-0 at the Ricoh and 3-0 at theirs.
The 2-0 at the Ricoh they didn't have a shot on target until about the 85th minute.
The man is a bitter bitter loser and I...
We're only going down due to our own misfortune of having SISU as owners. Pompey's finances are far far worse yet they pay higher wages; so who deserves relegation?
It's ok they're in the minority and not respected because they ignore the restraints and attractive football - which makes them look unreasonable.
I can't see us staying up - we have no squad. If Plato or Nimely get injured we don't have a fit striker.
The man has the worst squad in the league fact.
That we're even in contention for safety is great. That we're playing such attractive football is remarkable.
I'm sorry OSB, but to claim Thorn is in any sense a "lucky manager" is to ignore the numerous freak goals against, squandered chances and losses in games which we have dominated possession and created more chances than the opposition - of which there have been many. Not to mention that he has...
See this is the problem I have with the Thorn out brigade. They refuse to acknowledge the decimated squad due to SISU and take the very simplistic route of 'looking at the table' and reacting based on what they see there.
I suppose you think Paul Lambert and Brennan Rogers are doing 'average'...
Thanks Richard Branson.
It is a big complicated deal; mostly due to the arena situation and the fact that SISU are a bunch of faceless investors. God knows what process they have to go through to negotiate a bid. Not to mention Hoffman's consortium need consulting on developments.
If they...
Not like you to talk absolute crap OSB!
What is it - 10 1st team players gone inside 6/7 months; and those from a team that narrowly avoided a relegation scrap last year.
Also - why would you judge his squad by what he says?
Is he supposed to say that they're rubbish? How good would...
IF Everton sold Rodwell, Howard, Jageilka (can't spell that),
Cahill, Neville, Fellani, Baines, etc etc etc and replaced them with academy players then maybe you'd have a sensible point.
But they didn't, so you don't.
