lovejoy Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 shit. to be fair though, where is the logic in keeping him after all of his other shite results, and then sacking him when they get narrowly beaten by a team who are fighting for the title?

oldtype Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'll be downright weeping if two weeks down the road, Pompey have appointed Curbishley/Grant and go to Stoke with honeymoon mode on in full force. While in the mean time we're stuck with Joe Kinnear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timmy boy Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Clubs now just can't afford to get relegated, as soon as you lose a few games and get sucked into the relegation zone chairman panic. Bit harsh on Adams, they obviously saw something in him to hire him in the first place and they have only given him a few months to turn it around when essentially the cup winning team had already been broken up and sold off. They will probably end up with Curbishley or Grant which will be an improvement but they will still be in a tough battle to stay up,their midfield seems awful compared to last season.

Its a problem with a lot of clubs. Get in a manager, give him a matter of months, then sack him as soon as he doesn't deliver the premiership, fa cup, carling cup and a european cup in the first season. Luckily we are not like that.....DOH!!!!* *Actually, our problem is bringing the wrong manager in, in the first place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ennyoueffsea Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Pompey will go down. Am still confident they'll go doon while the still have Hreiddarsson going for his hat-trick of relegations with different clubs. Edit: Ooops he's already been relegated four times.

Incognito Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Not sure Dobbin can be blamed for Pompey's current plight....financial difficulty has forced them to tear apart last season's side...even Churchill was selling players in the summer.Still think they in deep doo doo.If they get Grant,maybe even worse doo doo.

merlin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Not surprised at all - he has been a disaster since he replaced Redknapp and you can see why ; his whole demeanour gives off negative vibes...also, who knows what problems he still has outside football ? IF they get a decent replacement - and the fact that they have fired him now indicates that they probably have someone lined up - then they have enough good players to get out of trouble ; their performance against Liverpool was light-years better than ours at SJP and they should really have got something out of it. Nevertheless, it still won't be an easy escape - all the teams from 12th downwards are still in trouble. As far as the effect on NUFC is concerned, the matter is still in the club's own hands and they have no-one else to blame if they go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest quklaani Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Grant beating Scolari would be one of the moments of the season for me, preferably if he added in some over the top knee sinking and maybe an up yours gesture in the general direction of the Chelsea fans.

Ronaldo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Grant should never have been sacked at Chelsea, if he'd been in charge the entire season there they'd have won the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Grant's obviously a pretty decent manager. I wasn't all that impressed with him last season because I thought "meh, how hard could it be to do well with Chelsea." This season, Scolari has given me an answer: pretty fucking hard.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Scolari has just done a terrible job. He's tried to change the mentality tha Mourinho instilled and in the process taken all the determination out of the team. The old Chelsea, you knew they were never dead. However, these days you may as well change your station when they go one down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just old and don't care. Chelsea's problems started the day Roman bought Shevcenko and gave Ballack that huge contract. Look at the players they signed before: Cech, Essien, Droga, Mikel, Joe Cole, etc. Relatively young and hungry players, whose talent still had room to be developed. Couple that odd change in strategy with this seemingly care free and rather helpless manager, and you get this debacle. Honestly, quk, your team has incredible luck. United haven't been exceptional this year. It's just that no one else seems to want a PL title. Hopefully next year will be more interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Sorry but am I reading the members of this forum right? "They'll go on a decent run" Says who sorry? There aren't an abundance of managers available, and they don't have the money to pay for compensation. The have a bunch of players that aren't that brilliant with 2 centre backs who are making fundamental mistakes, why that is Tony Adams fault I'll never know, how Distin missing a simple interception is his managers fault is beyond me. They have David Nugent and Peter Crouch too strikers that have never been terribly prolific, and a midfield consisting of a 33 year old Greek international, and Sean Davis. We face them at home too with fingers crossed a lot of our players back. Pack in being such bloody doom mongers, you all thought we'd get stuffed off West Brom, just for you to all revel in the 3 points when we played well and did what I expected us to. They don't have money for compensation since when.. where did all the money from Muntari and Defoe go? Also some good managers unattached right now.
