Howaythelads Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Fair enough. Not like you to be down to just two words.... Keegan spent that much money?! Aye, but £15m was on a "trophy player." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The way the players came out of the tunnel for the second half was the most significant thing I saw on Saturday. Sam had hardly rallied the troops with an inspiring team talk, they looked more like they were walking out to be shot. IMO the players have lost confidence in the manager and it's only a matter of time before he's sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the players have lost confidence in the manager and it's only a matter of time before he's sacked. Agreed. The thing is as well, the media can bang on all they like about impatient supporters and some supporters can bang on all they like about being embarrassed if the club sacks another manager, but if the players have lost confidence in the manager the powers within the club WILL know it. In this situation they must make the change. It's as simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The way they walked out of the tunnel We over analyze things these days. Our midfield going deep, formations, poor substations, horrendous defending, shocking passing are things I will accept but all this body language guff I cant be having that. Anyone remember how the lads strutted out of the tunnel when we were winning games? Was it single file & chests out? Did they all hold hands showing solidarity?

Martin Lol Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 If I was convinced that the FA will definitely not offer the England job to Bent 'Arry, I would have a decent bet on him being your new manager before the start of next season. Wor lass will be fuming if that happened, being a pompy fan. I'll be fuming if that happened, being a Newcastle fan, in all fairness. Was at the Spurs EGM this afternoon and someone close to Ashley's best mate thinks that Redknapp will be prised away from his South Coast home to make the move up to Tyneside. I'm not saying it will happen but there are a few who think it will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Lol Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Btw, why was an EGM called? something significant afoot or just some shareholders kicking up a fuss? It was mostly clearing the air following Jol's exit. Most were hoping for something definite about a new stadium or redevelopment but a definite answer by June 2008 is promised. As the fella who was the project leader for the Aljazeera has just been taken on board, my guess is a new stadium. You were, or someone else? Not sure on Redknapp. His twitches unnerve me, for a start. I was. The twitches were as a result of a bad car smash years ago, a couple were killed in it iirc so I guess Redknapp is happy with the twictches! Can't see it tbh, Arry's a southern boy and its not as if he is short of funds at Pompey. In other words he'd be mad to make the move (and imo would make a mess of it too - just a gut feeling) Generally speaking, I'd agree with you. Redknapp has had his house outside Bournemouth since he first managed them and has refused to move even when he was managing West Ham. But I know that Ashley and Kemsley have owned racehorses and that Kemsley and Redknapp have. I was told yesterday that a couple were owned jointly by all three. If that is right (and I've no reason to doubt it) that would put Ashley very close to Redknapp. He'd never sell the Bournemouth place but whether he would move up to Tyneside is a bit more debateable. I think it would all be academic if the FA offer him the England job, he would take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would all be academic if the FA offer him the England job, he would take it. His gaff in Sandbanks/Canford Cliff is well smart. Don't blame him for not getting rid. Beautiful place of the country. I don't like the man (mainly for the So'ton/Pompey dodgy dealings fiasco) but he has made a very good team down at Fratton Park and always seemed to do ok at WHU n all. Certainly would sort out man management issues we seem to have and if he could bring Adams with him would be a coup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly would sort out man management issues we seem to have and if he could bring Adams with him would be a coup. I honestly think that Redknapp/Adams would be a dream ticket for England tbh. Redknapp has more skeletons than Fred West's semi but he's got ability to produce a team playing like a team, not 11 individuals, no matter he has in front of him. Adams just by his history is someone I detest but he's learnt a lot from 'Arry, he's patriotic, wears his heart on his sleeve and he knows how to organise a defence. Adams could prove to be Redknapp's successor in time. The FA could do a lot worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
