It looks as if the penny is beginning to drop where the Eisners are concerned. Day by day on the playing front we seem to be in a state of paralysis in all areas. Let's stop all this silly ill founded criticism of DC, whose got a near impossible job, and slagging off individual players, such as Curtis; we all know where the problem lies...it's across the pond.
They may have a passing interest in Pompey but they certainly have no understanding or gut feeling for English football and what it means to a city like Pompey and the surrouding area. We're fast becoming a joke, just look at the non-existant scouting system, the academy...indeed the whole b----y set up. We're going backwards at a rate of knots and yet again we are about to witness poor old Cowley grovelling around in the bargain basement and looking for loan players where the parent club helps out 'poor little Pompey' with wages and suchlike. It's embarrassing.
This country didn't do it's due diligence six years ago and we surely didn't do ours when these people took over our club twelve months later. Then we were a proverbial sleeping giant on our way to making an almost certain return to the Championship and we are now a sad little League One club that just happen to get larger home gates than our peers not to mention a fantastic away following. Two factors that seem to count for very little or nothing.
Doubtless the pro-Eisner camp will point to the ongoing work at Fratton Park. Work that should have started at least a couple of years ago and has finally gone ahead because of a significant threat to our aleady reduced capacity and potential income and the value of the ground as a piece of 'real estate'. What will it take to wake these people up? It simply doesn't cut it with me and a growing number of real fans. I think if you had a straw poll at this particular moment in time you'd be lucky to find more than 10% of supporters who think we've got any chance at all of winning promotion. Personally I fear a relegation struggle.
