Unfortunately, I do think he has to go now, not because of the poor run, but because the players have downed tools and are actively pursuing regime change. They've done it before and it's only because the Eisner's don't give a feck that he's still there. And it's the Eisner's who are at the core of the problem. Where are they? When did they last bother to turn up? What kind of sign does that show of their ambitions to players and fans when they clearly don't give a shit apart from maintaining their fixed assets. Instead we have MK Dons Cullum, a man fixated with beer kiosks and a cracking propaganda machine for the Eisners.
At least Cowley takes the abuse and doesn't hide. He has to have loans for a fecking reason. We only got Bishop because some prat was stupid enough to pay money for Harness. Do people not get the concept that if you cannot afford decent players then you'll end up hoping for the best most of the time.
And all this talk of managers is bollocks too. Yes, we might get an initial boost but when you're mostly scraping the barrel of shit for decent players you can be confident that we'll be back to square one in another 18 months. Every manager will come up with the brick wall that is the Portsmouth FC Transfer Kitty - a mystical budget created out of Eisner Jnr's rectum and stuck to the boardroom at FP. I'm not asking to spend billions but show some fecking ambition.
With the odd exception of a certain WBA away game I have never wanted Pompey to lose. I want us to win everytime we play, preferably playing free flowing football. That said, in the normal course of events, you take your losses with a shrug of the shoulders and look forward to the next game. What we have now just feels different, the whole set up down there at the moment lacks hope for any improvement. Starting to feel mugged off, if this is the Eisners vision of sustainable football then god help us. If the future is endless Div one or Div two football watching us playing a bunch of loanees and cast offs, then what’s the fucking point of it all.
