The short summer break meant there was little time for change of personnel on and off the pitch, and the club had also been leaking vast sums of money for several months which made further avoidable expense unattractive.(16-02-2022, 01:44 PM)Pompeyg100 Wrote:(16-02-2022, 12:43 PM)Rick Pumpkin Wrote: I'd give them 7/10.
As much as I'd like to see faster progress being made they've done exactly what they said at the Guildhall and we have to go along with a plod towards promotion, not the charge that many people want. It's funny that when we were in the Prem I recall many people saying on Rivals that money should have been spent on the stadium and training ground, and less on wages. Now exactly that is happening and people still aren't happy.
However, they lose three marks for their over long support of Jackett, their piss-poor communications and the growing distance between club and the supporters - it doesn't feel like a community club anymore. And being a fickle supporter I reserve the right to deduct another point in a year's time if the Cowley appointment hits the dirt!
Why wouldn’t that support Jackett?
Read what I said - over long support (i.e. supporting him long after everyone realised he was a busted flush at Pompey).
Now pay attention at the back.
