Did anyone else just see Oscar's second goal? Magic!

It's a statement of intent though, at least. What would we have been saying if we only gave him a year? "he'll struggle to impose his authority on the team because some players have longer contracts than him" "does the board really have faith they've got the best man" etc.. In reality saying a...

I'm pleased he's been given a 3 year contract as I crave some stability at this club. I guess we'll have to wait and see whether we actually get that...

Shouldn't this go in City Old Boy news? We've got a new man in place and we should move on now.

Or were 'technical problems', aka forgetting to turn the microphone on, the reason we could not hear from Robins himself rather than being told second hand what he said. :facepalm:

Why has it taken CWR 40 mins and counting to bring us news from this press conference?

Maybe that'll give him some authority. The players might believe he will be there longer than them if they don't buck up their ideas.

And if, as rumoured, Ince had a problem with the contract length, how long did he want?!

Ginetta got there first yesterday.

Thanks for the input Whitey.

It's been widely acknowledged on here what a huge challenge Mark Robins has ahead of him to turn this club around, so please can we give him some time and support to do it and not jump on his back the moment we lose one or two games. Good luck Mr Robins, you'll need it!

They've clearly not been up to the job of turning this ship around, but many seem to want to lay a relatively large portion of blame on the generally inexperienced mid-ranking members of the organisation.

The Sky Blue poison seeps out further into the community...

You forgot Shaw/Carsley/Oggy. They're the new whipping boys it seems.

Yeah, by luck rather than board choice we may have got the better of the two men.

I wonder if the rumours about Appleton applying for a job here hint that Pompey are finally about to go to the wall?

Two hurdles? Negotiating the steps off the coach and the steps up/down to the pitch?

Shame. I was hoping a (former) player cared about the club and they wanted us to understand what is really going on. (That's not a dig at you or the former player, but just a wish for someone connected with the club outside of the fans to show some heart).

You said you were asked to come on here. By said person?

What they are worth and what we pay them are not necessarily the same thing.
