So the team played fairly well. They are obviously still tired from their Portugese trip. With a trip to Anfield Wednesday and a home match against Wigan Saturday, they have a busy week ahead of them. Big Sam is the current odds on favorite to be the new manager. We'll see how quickly they move to get a manager. My guess is that Peter Storrie will move quickly and have someone in place by Wednesday or Thursday.

I don't think our season is done yet. If we start a fire-sale in January, then not only is the season done, but the near future is done as well. I could see one or two players leaving in January, most likely Diarra or Defoe, possibly even James.

Interesting times indeed...

I'm still in shock over how quickly this whole thing transpired. Not sure what to think yet. Thanks to Harry for everything you've done. I'm not sure what to think of all of the rumors that the club is in terrible financial straits. I know we're not building that stadium anytime soon, and I know we're not acquiring anyone in January, but the rumors are that everyone is for sale.

May you live in interesting times...

Holy holy holy…… Harry will sign the most useless of the most useless to go on with the most useless. But, he'll he able to gamble in London. so cheers to him.

It will be interesting to see if Harry expects autonomy, and whether or not they'll bring someone in after he's signed on.

It seems an absurd notion, but nothing's beyond the realm of Spurs' incompetence.

Big Sam looks a good fit here. If Pompey can afford it.

Oh well. This appointment is 12 months too late IMHO. Good ol' Spurs do it again. The last year has set the club back to about 5 years. Now we can look forward to 3 seasons of trying to sort our squad out and ship out the over-rated, over-priced numpties. I just hope that Harry can get them going is some sort of fashion. But with the players we have at our disposal, this may be a big hope and I fear savior from relegation may be too much to hope for now.

The other thing that needs to be addressed after what's happened, is the fans attitude to our club. We're as much of a laughing stock a Newcastle now. Stop dreaming of Champions League campaigns and start being content with a side that can go out and compete with any other team outside the top 4 on a regular basis. Yes that means not looking to sign the greatest, flairiest players. But it does mean that if you get a good start one season, then perhaps a top 4 finish might come your way, purely by chance.

I also hope that the clb now realise that throwing money aaround is in no way a substitute for genuine and deserved success.

Yeah, Adams doesn't come across that well on TV but I'm sure he would be interested in the job. Sam Allardyce is a good shout. Would be good to see them appoint a British manager. Glenn Hoddle is another whose name gets put out there as soon as a job available. Although his Southampton background may hinder any hopes getting the job.

Im sure they arent arguing the 5mil compensation package!

Tony Adams must be the grumpiest man in football. Not sure if he's ready for primetime, but if Pompey's fortunes are as small as the papers say, Adams may be a wise choice after all.
