Watching the game yesterday and the cameras picking out Scholes, The Nevilles, Butt, Giggs, Keane etc ( but where was Beckham ? Or did I miss him?), I thought how lucky the Salford fans are. Like them or loath them as individuals, the Salford owners played the game at very high level and are clearly able to bring their collective knowledge to the Salford set up.
They were quick to fire Alexander despite being 5th in the table, they apparently wanted ‘more attacking and exciting football’ and were determined to get it and they seem to have picked up some decent players without a big spend budget.
I thought Salford were streets ahead of Pompey yesterday despite being without their leading goal scorer, their players being paid less than Pompey and the Salford squad having cost a lot less to assemble than Pompey’s (£ 2.5 million alone on Marquis, Harness and Harrison FFS).
Perhaps Sol and all the others who did so well financially in our Premiership years, might buy Eisner out (and I bet he would be a willing seller at the mo) and bring back exciting football to Fratton Park
Only joking of course, ain’t gonna happen.....but I do think Eisner is beginning to wonder whether he made the right decision when he bought Pompey, maybe he is reflecting on Harry Truman’s phrase “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”.
Clearly he is very upset at the vitriol being dished out by the Pompey fans, rueing his failure to do proper due diligence on the ground and bleeding money instead of making it.
Could there yet be another twist in the Pompey tale ? This smacks of the Martin Gregory period.
