Get that out of your system now, we're not allowed to say it any more if he's announced. We have to fix a smile and say he needs time through gritted teeth. Or go through this exact same process again? Where we appoint another manager that underwhelms? Dont you see the folly of this yet, now that the reality of your wishes from last week are staring you in the face this week? I often think you're the most intelligent poster on this forum bluestar but you seem to be failing to spot the obvious here. My wishes last week were that we should be looking to improve on Sam but only if we could replace him with someone better and if not it would make us an utter joke, as has transipred. I'd love to be proved wrong and think that we're not going to have to pay him £15m after a year to save ourselves from utter disaster.

Probably good in the loing term for my fantasy team but I gues that means I've got to bench the twat for tomorrow now.

Oh well, let's just grin and bear it as we repeat the cycle.

Much as I'm underwhelmed I really can't understand that attitude. Get behind him I say. Rather he was forced out before he spends our pennies to be honest. You've no idea who the board have considered for the role. If they have considered some big names, sounded them out and they dont want to come then your attitude is not just daft its dangerous for the club. In which case they should have just stuck with Sam rather than going through all this upheaval and paying an absolute fortune for the sake of swapping like for like.

"Mood is shifting to support Harry." Showing the Mong Showreel to back this up.

FUCK. Oh well, hopefully he wont be here long.

"Sources" say he's coming up North today.

At St James at the moment. Just blabbering about how Ashley and Mort aren't here. Happy Redknapp has refused to speak to the media at portsmouth and has lef the training ground.

Right. here we go.

This whole thing has destroyed my brain, I was having nightmares about footy last night and I can't even remember what was happening to the club except I was absolutely gutted by it and in a pub surrounded by suicidal toon fans and smart arse supporters of other clubs. I've lost my mind to the extent I bet a tenner in quids on various outcomes of the Man U match, most of which were relatively positive for us.

I can see it now, please come Harry, you don't even have to move here, you can give your team talks via webcam and email us the team selection. We'll buy you the biggest plasma screen you've ever seen and you can watch the matches from your house!

Exactly. Canny bloke as well, not an utter cunt like Arry.

i'm guessing any new manager would recieve financial backing not available to the others Even worse if that's the case, really need to nip this in the bud in my opinion.

We tried these kinds of rallying calls with other underwhelming managers and it kicked us in the arse.

Much rather have him than Redknapp to be honest.

SSN texts, Pompey fans crying they don't want him to go, toon fans screaming they don't want him to come

His wife loves the lifestyle apparently. Not surprised, I can imagine she's like Boyce's lass from Only Fools and Horses, the tacky faux-posh cockney socialite lifestyle in that grubby shithole probably fits her to a tea.

SSN "Already the fans on the internet are dissapointed - from Steve" Who was that then?

I'd be deeply concerned if he's Ashley's first choice and he turns us down. As much as I think this is a sideways step from Allardyce I'm fearful of who we may turn to if he decides he doesn't want the job. Well exactly. I said earlier in one of these mammoth threads, it seems we pull out all the stops to get the wrong man here. Paying off his current club, arguing with the FA over badges, defending dodgy dealings, long contracts, big pay offs, private jets, massive transfer kitties... All to secure Souness, Roeder, Sam and Redknapp And if he's our first choice god knows who we'll end up with otherwise.

AO: "This is the job harry has been dreaming of. His wife wont like the rain and wont want to come. I've spoke to Chris Mort, he is new to this. He's playing it by the book."

Anal on SSN now. Says he's just spoken to Redknapp and 'Arry says he's not spoken to us. But deep down AO gets the feeling it's a done deal.

The mixed emotions of relief and shame if he says we've offered him a fortune in wages and a huge transfer kitty to join us and he's turned us down...

Pointless, pointless, pointless. Might as well have continued stringing Sam along until we could get someone decent. Reckon there's going to be boos at the next home game when he's mentioned on the tannoy.
