Poyet Wanted By Portsmouth

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

People keep mentioning West Ham.. why would they sack Zola, and then go for a similarly inexperienced up and coming manager? Surely they'd just keep Zola in the first place. I'm sure they'll be going for experience this time round.

West Ham will re-appoint Curbishley.
stand on Me.

 

[The French Mistress]

I don't like this having a star manager malarky, can't we have someone shit who no one wants

Um, is that not what we've had for the last few years?? The Independent article goes on more about Jamie O'Hara anyway.

This is just a stupid paper story (oddly not from a stupid paper). I'd be amazed if this were to happen.

What has come out so far in the Portsmouth debacle is just the tip of a very nasty iceberg (allegedly). Points deductions and fines galore quite possibly still to come. Oh and no infrastructure-s**thole of a 'stadium', dog turd ridden training facilites. I could go on...

If this happens I'll absail naked from the Spinnaker Tower!

Their training facilities are not in Portsmouth. They are by the airport in Eastleigh, and are fairly decent. The only turds on them are Michael Brown and his mates.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I wonder if they've thought of Alan Pardew?

 

[Gritt23]

I would hope that Poyet saw enough at Leeds to know the long-term damage done by relegation from the Premiership combined with serious financial difficulties.

I'm pretty damn sure he wouldn't give the job offer the time of day.

 

[perth seagull]

I thought Poyet said he would only leave us if he received a ridiculous offer i.e. a Premiership side or the likes of Real Madrid.

 

[Smythe]

He wont go to pompey or s'hampton.... no fear
He might go to west ham... slight fear

Sign that contract Gus!.... 4 year! (watch out wordsworth!)

No chance of Gus going to Pompey and why would west ham take a chance with another inexperienced manager who has a managerial career of only 7 months with a mid table league 1 side.

That's not going to be a clincher for Gus though is it? Portsmouth don't own the facilities which is one more pointer to a club in deep trouble-as if we needed another.

Anyway the point is that Gus just isn't going to go there.

It's a non-story.

 

[Perkino]

It will never happen

 

[Lady Whistledown]

To be honest if he'd be tempted by Real Madrid then I'm sure he'd be interested in the Southampton job when Alan Partridge gets sacked next season.

They are similarly sized clubs, with almost identical fan bases and stadiums, and frankly who wouldn't want to work with Galacticos like Kelvin Davies, Graeme Murty and Papa Waigo N'Diaye?

 

[Dizzle.]

Poyet expected to stay From The Argus)

 

[Silent Bob]

Why on earth would he go there?

Portsmouth is a sinking ship.
And the ship is on fire.

And the deck is covered in dog shits.

We've got as much chance as they have of being in the Championship next year.

 

[Smythe]

Fratton Park or Falmer? ......... tough decision

 

[Notters]

Fratton Park or Falmer? ......... tough decision

Yup, I don't know what I'd do.

 

[Simster]

Yup, I don't know what I'd do.

I think you're being very harsh. Portsmouth have put a ROOF on the away end since then.

 

[sparkie]

So, is there a problem with Poyet's contract then?

Something seems to be holding him up in signing an extension, and this has now started to drag on. What is going on in the background that we don't know about?

 

[Sheebo]

Someone said he's away for a few weeks on some scouting trip...

It was reported earlier this week that he'd gone abroad scouting for a couple of weeks. I assume that's why he's not signed yet.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Apparently Poyet and Tariccio are on a 2 week scouting trip so if it can be signed in his absence I don't know.
