He was clearly involved as was Coppell so it was that regime's signings for me. Whether you want to get into the Lennon/McCartney vs McCartney/Lennon debate seems a waste of effort.
Let's face it there was a limited choice of players (1) good enough, (2) available and (3) keen to come. Some of those like Jervis, Fogden and Hollands were all desperate to come to Pompey so I strongly suspect they'd have come no matter who was calling the shots.
Look at this to see how much Hollands was always going to look for a chance to come here....
