Let's hope we have seen the last of them.

Strange match. Sunderland played better yet Pompey created and missed all the chances.In the end, we finished in the place we deserved. Fact is, we are not yet good enough for the Championship.

Have a great summer!

We looked bang average over both games didn't we, some significant changes needed in the team - likely to be funded by the sale of Matt Clarke.

I don't have the confidence we'll have that much to spend. Am I the only person who doesn't think the Eisners are all that? I think it will be a small warchest and another 'almost' season next year

As I said elsewhere, now let's concentrate on the really important stuff, and get a contract in place to build a 21st century Stadium that will provide the revenue streams to fund sustainable growth.

I think that they are probably loving the involvement in an English football team and all that goes with it, but don't want to lose much of their personal wealth in the process (can't blame them I guess). So it is a 5 year plan to get to the Championship, improvements to the ground bit by bit (but no radical overhaul), and enjoy the ride!

I think this is spot on NSS, i suspect that this outcome has fallen into their hands/plans. As much as it would have nice to go up, we don't have the team currently to survive in the Championship and i don't think we would have got the investment to either.

I think this fits in more with their plans for longevity, get the stadium built and then concentrate on the football more, i think we will have another couple of years where we are yet. But in the end this may prove to be the only sustainable way to do it.
