This idea is 10 years old. But how possible is it?

I think Eisners interview was quite telling too, regarding the manager / head coach needing to buy into the structure that we now have in place, with Hughes etc, and that Jacket didnt at all, and cowley only to an extent. Exactly. The Eisner's tried other ways to get promoted and backed the manager...

Unfortunately, going by his Colchester post matches, he's still over complicating things. They're quite difficult to listen to. After DC left us Cullen paid a great tribute to him and how he did a lot for the community side of the club and engaging the supporters. Can't underestimate that. I really ...

Looking at the clubs who'll be in the Championship next season and on the face of it, there are mostly no 'small' clubs except if Luton go down - and hopefully they won't. There are decent sized stadiums. So it'll be interesting to see what the overall difference is between L1 and the Championship. ...

Having the set up we have at Portsmouth seems to be the right approach where no-one has overall control, like in the Ferguson era at United or even Redknapp at Pompey. I wasn't aware that it was like that under Redknapp. But it makes sense to me that you have someone with overall responsibility for...

A lot of interesting things in there. I particularly like this: “We realised that letting the coaches have full autonomy wasn’t as good a system as having the coach focus on what happens the pitch and a sporting director responsible for player development and a lot of other things,” says Eisner. “On...

The Portsmouth catchment area should surely in theory put us either in mid Premiership or a regular place in the Championship play offs. But in reality there are many examples of population size not being correlated to a particular league. How on earth are Bradford in League2 or say, Burnley (not f...

I get the impression we're looking to emulate Brighton to a certain extent - be a well run club with ambition. I've no idea what the details are about Brighton's finances but they announced a profit recently. I agree that the Premiership is a closed shop for winning things and that's very frustratin...

Trust JM to throw a curved ball be interesting to see how this team shapes up with two key players missing. Pack and Rags absence leaves a big hole but in exchange we’ve got MPH and Tino playing together.Towler has a chance to prove himself. Not sure whether we should call this a weakened team but ...

Have fun all.

A great watch.

Straight into the 3rd round of the FA Cup and no more Bristol Street Pizza Paint Pot Trophy.

Being outpaced has definitely caused us problems this season and there's alot more of it in the Championship. We also need more players who are able to recieve the ball with their back to the goal/opponent and turn fast. I think that's one reason why we kept passing backwards in recent games - not e...

BW, for God's sake just be happy.

How to not make friends. Fecking morons. And anyone who follows them is a moron as well.
