Apart from the owner bit agree 100% not getting in to that conversation.
Apart from the owner bit agree 100% not getting in to that conversation.I think that is forgotten where we could have been but for that we squeezed out of division 2 sold McNulty for big bucks for us and used a lot of it to help create what we have now and where we are. Our owner wouldn’t have given a shit where we might have been, don’t forget that.
But without selling McNulty could we have afforded them both?Kelly and McFadzean have been critical overall
Don't know if your being sarcastic. But he should be in that shortlist ...actually 2 good seasons with us. Bought for peanuts and God knows what we sold him for.Sam McCallum by a mile
À couple of you are saying Baylis done well (rember no one mentioned him till I did) if he done better than I remember then great, hope he gets it back and has a brilliant career.Bayliss and Shipley weren’t signings though…
And Bayliss was absolutely key in getting us out of league two. He basically gave us the thrust we were missing after Jones got injured, without him, McNulty and Doyle we may never have got up that year.

I think it can be argued Grimmer had as much or more influence than Bayliss. When you consider he played most games And he was a big upgrade on previous Right backs.
Grimmer was poor IMO. Couldn’t pass and shirked his tackles.
Yeah m8 … but
Wtf‽??? Doyle was pivotal to that dressing room. He was also influential to the young lads and the reason we got the other pompey boys in.Kelly not for what he has done on the pitch but what he has done off it , MR relies on him a lot to keep the unit tight and be his voice in the dressing room with fadz as his number two , I’m afraid Doyle was fantastic on the pitch a leader etc but was not as great in the dressing room etc as Kelly has been

You've misunderstood my response which was about him not helping off the pitch and not about being the best or otherwise.Doyle was to us what Vinnie Jones was to Leeds- someone to come in for one season in a lower & very tough division purely to help get us out of that divison- by galvanising, cajoling, encouraging, fighting and in doing so giving more talented but younger & more ‘fragile’ players room to play. Then when we went up he was moved on as he wouldn’t be suitable. A very smart signing & exactly what was needed for that season- but not sure you can say he was the best.

I could be wrong but wasn't it Doyle that convinced McNulty to join?McNulty for me overall. None of this happens without his goals.
Wasnt a signingDoes no one have Lee Burge in their shortlist?
good point!Wasnt a signing
Kelly was far more effective on the pitch as the record that season shows very very clearlyWtf‽??? Doyle was pivotal to that dressing room. He was also influential to the young lads and the reason we got the other pompey boys in.
