The previous manager but two
I think the previous manager but two did embellish the history of Pompey football club and for that we are rightly grateful. However I don't see him as a great manager. He is not the man to build up a great team, an ethos and style of playing that will bring us respect as well as success. He will doubtless bring us short term success but surely we should be looking for someone to lay down the infrastructure for a great club for the future not just for now. We want someone who will not bring in old established players at exorbitant salaries. We want someone who will encourage the Academy to seek out the best talent and to develop a style of playing similar to that seen at Barca. We want someone with more than a knowledge of what is here and now but who can develop the links with South America and Argentina in particular. We want someone who doesn't think Spuds are "a bigger club with better fans" but who realises Pompey are a great club with the best fans anywhere. Thanks to the Doctor, we can look beyond the recent past and create a marvellous future.
