"I'd give them 10/10 for subsidising the club during Covid without making a fuss about it, that was a huge unexpected expense.
I'd give them 10/10 for doing all the above without incurring a penny of debt to the club.
and finally I'd give them 10/10 for producing those pre-match videos ... they are first class and I never tire of watching them."
Agree, with this.
My fears are that Tornante are safe and comfortable but are a firmly mid-table outfit; guaranteed to get a return on their investment with minimal/no risk taken on their behalf.
On the pitch we have seen year on year decline since Tornante took over (2/10) and I am massively unimpressed by a 20,000 capacity (2/10)...but, if there is no real ambition then 20, 000 is OK for an average mid table League-1 side.
IF the football financial bubble bursts then Tornante's 'cautious' approach could be seen to be wise.
However, in reality we are losing players to the likes of Wycombe and Gillingham with 'ambitions' to achieve a ground capacity befitting a small club. Tornante's sporting record in the US seems unimpressive and it seems they are continuing their record of mediocrity with Pompey.
