This sounds like having a pop at the club, but most of the managers we've been linked to won't be in the running at most higher league clubs (e.g. Blackpool. and yes IMO). Maybe lower league clubs also go down the U23 type coach route - but surely we are competitive with them

Its the nature of the beast surely - the club just need to get on and appoint someone then we can go back to talking about on pitch events

The choice of what type of manager/head coach we will end up employing will depend on whether the club thinks Garner and Lindsey were seen as successful as far as the ‘model’ goes. A lot of people think Lindsey was on the brink of the sack - the faffing about seeking his replacement casts doubt on that.

I’m struggling to see how Lindsey thought a move to Crawley was a good move for him.

Had to expect he was heading towards the sack, even if it wasn't imminent. He can puff his chest out and say he took us to the brink of the play offs.

Neck on the line here.
Crawley over him a better deal.
presumably promised a good transfer budget

could get sacked from either here or there. one is going to give more in a payout..


all guess work. Maybe he hated working in the model. But I think Crawley have a similar model

Seeing as he was already part way through his contract here, then they'll be giving more of a pay out even if the money is the same. Makes sense.

Why FFS?

Wellens with less than a years experience at Oldham is literally the only manager with previous managerial experience to win anything, with Swindon since  I was a baby. You have to go back to the AI cup win in 1970 under Fred Ford to find any success under an "experienced" manager.

Sturrock managing to keep us in third place to get promotion from L2 with what was largely  Wise and Poyet's  team is the best anyone with "experience" has done other than that.

If you have to have experience then Garner is out of work, is a known quantity, knows the club, and is our only manager in the last decade to manage a full season with a win ratio over 45% with a record of P56, W28, D12, L16. (50%)

My only reasoning is the time of the appointment, if this was the same time as when Garner left i wouldn't mind a Foster or Rice type manager, i just think that the timing means we could do with just getting someone in to get straight into it and not have to get his ideas etc across like a newer manager does. Only my preference though and not saying it's the right way

He also doesn't have to commute to Wiltshire which probably helps.

Foster is way more palatable than Rice based on their histories, in my opinion.

The ongoing debate makes interesting reading. It's apparent that no-one has the foggiest idea of what is going on. I think that a win at the weekend will see Gunning announced as head coach soon after.

I see Nixon is suggesting that Portsmouth need to either piss or get off the pot.

Probably all guessing but some interesting notes there - Steve Morison out to 33/1 long shot (the same as Tony Pulis and Shezza!). Artell and Bircham joint favs at 5/4 and Cowley (!), Caddis, Hughton and Gunning at 8s. Rice, Dyer and Foster not listed.

The ones that posted on here it’s Morison clearly been misinformed seeing as he’s 33/1…. Grim list of favourites that.
