Cowleys

Looks like they are staying...wonder how long they have been given and, more importantly, what the war chest will be for next term?

Good news as far as I'm concerned, really like their ethos and I suppose one advantage of all the contracts coming to an end (provided we keep the ones we want) is that they get to build the team they want.

With all the optimism out of my system ask in a year as I cry in my pint

Good news. Look forward to seeing what they can do with a full season and pre season. Plus I haven't written off this season yet!

I have.
Another season div 1 and win by a landslide next time.
Give the crown something to cheer about again... fast-flowing football.

I wasn't aware Her Majesty was a supporter? But she is very astute and has visited the City on a number of occasions.

I mean she is single now. Maybe someone on here could take her on a date?

I really must proofread my posts in the future. It's not as if N is close to D..... Brain fog.

I, for one, am delighted by this great news. Hearing rumours of a 4 year deal which seems ridiculously excessive, but glad we've signed them. Intrigued to see how good their recruitment is going to be...that will ultimately play a part in their success, or lack of it.

Totally agree with SB. A year too long to my mind, but it might be only a little more money spread over an extra year for tax purposes, we don't know.

As incoming coaches, the Cowleys have an opportunity this year to totally rebuild the squad. Lots of players are out of contract, and others would probably be willing to leave even if we had to eat some of their contract. It will be interesting to see their recruitment strategy, as much in terms of the type of player they sign as the actual names.

I think that it is good news for all concerned. I wonder if it may concentrate the minds of some of the players to try and impress the Cowleys over the coming games.

You wonder if some of them are intelligent enough to grasp that.

After watching the disgraceful Swindon game, possibly the worst Pompey performance I have ever witnessed, utterly devoid of any cohesion, spirit, skill, system etc. I can't imagine how any manager responsible for that could consider himself to be a candidate to take us into a bright new future.
I have just watched the Bristol Rovers match, a scrambling and utterly toothless display against another bottom or the league team. Again there was nothing there to build any credentials for the Cowleys whatsoever.
It take more than media mastery to convince me. Talk is cheap.The proof of the pudding is out there on the pitch.

Can't say I agree to that. 5 wins and 1 draw from 9 games off the back of the awful run of form we had with KJ. First few games we were playing some good football. In regards to the performances... I recall some on hear saying it was some of the best football they've seen us play in years early on.

Not to say they've earnt a free pass from me. The performances of late have been awful to watch. That being said I've seen enough to want to see them in charge for next season and interested to see how the team plays with a full pre-season and transfer window under their belt.
