Not available now actually but likely will be - perfect manager swap actually other than Robins seems adverse to heading south

More promotions than Robins, better win ratio in his career but I suspect doesn’t fill the mould for fans who thought thorn was the next Alex Ferguson - and again I’ve not said sack him

Kenny Jackett - Pompey fans would snap your hand off for an exchange. They can't stand him.

If MR stayed in L1 with us he would have an increasing win ratio. Jackett's would soon drop if he had Pompey in The Championship. Their fan base absolutely hate his style of football or 'Jackettball' as they mockingly refer to it.

Edit: FWIW, I'm not claiming MR is another Pep or Klopp, but sometimes managers seem to suit clubs, and I'd be really disappointed if our owners got rid of MR, even if we were relegated (although if that happened, I'll probably be feeling frustrated/annoyed over it). Didn't Warne take Rotherham down, but they stuck by him and have regrouped?

I didn't say that I just find it curious as he has failed to get a stronger set of players than us promoted two years on the spin. Don't forget that according to you winning against easier teams is less legitimate when considering win ratio

He did, but he would be inheriting a team recruited for almost the direct opposite to the type of football he'd want to play and with no budget to change personnel

At least it’s got O Drivel to pretend he’s interested in football. I’m surprised he’s not pushing Gerry Adams for the job and having a stand - or perhaps a seat as he was a bit tiny when he died - after his hero Bobby Sands

Haha. What's the difference between Bobby Sands and a packet of crisps ? I'd forgotten that old joke.

Talking about pretending

The closest Grenners got to working in the automotive industry was that time in the earlier 90s when he drove a minicab

Why on earth haven't you been promoting Black History Month ? It's right up your street rather than this Coventry City bollocks.

Regarding the game

I'd stick with the 1 up and 4 man midfield as we look really lightweight when we try 2 up top and this could be one of those games were we have to try and tough it out for a draw.

You said a post did exist, it did.

It's ok to be wrong and say sorry sometimes.
