As many others have said on this forum, the currently owners are doing exactly what they said they would do, steady build of the infrastructure and team but not throw stupid money at it. In reality we are not a Premiership club, but we probably mostly believe we should be a mid-table Championship club. We've had some pretty awful football at FP these last 13 years, but some good times too (just not enough of them). Yesterday we played mostly OK and we had 7 potential first-teamers out injured. The players have got their mojo back, though probably too late for this season. we have an inexperienced manager who by the sound of his interviews is learning and growing all the time and is doing as well already as KJ & DC. That'll do for me, until next season. OK it's the hope that kills us, but 'twas ever thus being Pompey.
I can't speak for anyone else but what really pisses me off is that our owners know next to nothing about football and in their time as owners have learnt fuck all. We continually make the same mistakes appointing management across the footballing side of the business.
You could make a solid argument that every single replacement that has come through the door is worse than when they took over the club, right the way from the CEO, the academy, coaching staff and players. All downgrades on what was previously there.
We see traditionally smaller teams than us sail on by on their way to the championship and we are stuck here watching shit football with a manager who has zero managerial experience. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall with that appointment: We had a vastly experienced manager in Kenny but the weight of expectation was too much even for him, so lwe thought the best replacement would be to get the Cowleys in, who have next to no league 1 experience. That didn't work so let's get someone in with genuinely no experience. That'll do nicely.
I'm actually quite surprised more people aren't absolutely fucking livid with the state of the playing staff.
You’re admitting you know fuck all about football?
