Has his Source now gone?
oh well fun while it lasted.
I doubt that s/he had any source at all. S/he knows that jornos read football forums and was trying to produce positive news and rumours. S/he was making a positive campaign as s/he thought that this could be of some help to the club. S/he fooled a lot of people but the end justifies the means.

Still you persist with your flannel.
When the transfer rumours forum reopens and you can't access it, you'll know why.

It would be interesting to see what Dan thinks about this. I can imagine he isn't to happy with Harry's appointment. :think: The new ITK will probably be Jamie Redknapp.:wink:
Yep. Gone out that revolving door too (although not as a yid or a poster).
One last titbit though - Gus was offered the chance to stay but walked because he'd put everything he had into the past year and feels as responsible as Ramos for it not coming good. I did mention this a while ago that if Ramos was sacked that Gus would go too and not (as it was then) step up to the top job.
Far from pleased. I don't like Redknapp as an man or a manager and think this appointment is an unfortunate repeat of November 1994.
I really hope we get a coach with serious tactical expertise (the likes of Bond, Jamie, Sheringham, Mabbutt, Roberts, Ginola from the thread about it don't fit the bill at all IMO, although I like the Bilic shout over on GG, though that's unfortunately a bit wishful) and a really well connected Chief Exec with international repute so we can continue to make signings of the calibre Ramos and Comolli enabled us to make (however ultimately badly balanced and forged into a unit they may have been).
I think we'll certainly stay up but I also think we've gone back to being a perennial mid-table side rather than an aspiring champions' league side.
I hope we also start tapping up some decent managers for summer 2010 now.
Better change my signature too...

Francis did a fantastic job with the talented players he inherited but some of his signings were awful.
Plus during the summer of 1995/96 he replaced players with British workmanlike players - Armstrong for Klinsmann, Fox for Barmby and most tellingly Wilson and Sinton.
Harry on the other hand, scouts players far and wide and goes for good footballers (English or foreign). At Pompey alone he has signed Johnson (a good attacking stylish right-back), Krancjar, Distin, Crouch, Defoe, James, etc all players that fit into his team and in the main stylish players - not workhorses which is what Francis leaned towards.
