Hi All True Blues, I have seen the ups and downs of Pompey F.C for 40 years now and still cannot get my head around the way the club is run from top to bottom. After we, the fans took control of the club obviously with help from money men, why do we not look at other clubs and look how they become successful. Pompey are in one of the biggest catchment areas for players (fewer pro clubs within miles) yet are scouting is non exsistant! I know money is a factor but why can't a club like ours approach somebody like Hoddle or like several managers who took Swansea to the top flight. If we said to these kind of people,"right take control from top to bottom of this club and revamp it, like he did at Swindon where he was successful and playing a style of football which is easy on the eye.
Say we would back him to the hilt even in hard times if we got back to where we belong. Challenges like this appeal to someone who has massive management experience.
We go for the cheap easy option ex players and someone who is not up to the job.
Our clubs youth set up is so poor its laughable. Jobs for my mates come to hand. Abroad the best coaches work with the younger players to make sure they are coached properly and progress.
Our club needs revamping, a better approach from hiring the right coaching staff, not someone who has passed his UEFA B badge and is now suddenly qualified to teach our future pros. Glad we now have our own training pitch for the first team, now we need a couple more for the rest of the clubs players.
Come on the people who run our club, those scum bastards did it by getting the right mix and people in place in a short space of time.
Look to the future not short term there are better players hungrier with more heart and will to win in non league football just needs good scouts to be looking. The current crop are more interested how their hair looks and like most pros these days don't like getting shouted at. That's why Maca was got rid of for having a go at Awfords son who is never good enough to play pro football!
I hope supporters can see some of the ideas Pompey need to get the club moving forward again, me for one want to see top flight football again at Fratton and a well run club to be proud of again.
