The previous owners mantra was to get younger inexperienced managers because they were tight as a submarines hatch, perhaps the news owners will think like you and splash out like you say and get what to me is the most important component of a football team.


Agree with you and Omri, enough is enough of this inexperienced manager experiment. Let’s get a good and well respected manager who has at least a plan B on the pitch and who develops the team to their strengths. 🙏

I haven't said anything until this morning, waited for the dust to settle so to speak. Now I feel that Williams either needs to come out and make an apology, tell us he was wrong to say what he did and understands how it all sounded, that or quit and walk away or at least, go to Coleman and thrash out a severance package.

It all depends on what he really feels. If he isn't happy here, if he'd rather leave then get him out, unless he can go speak to Coleman and see what can be done to make him happy which I'd say might just be 3 or 4 decent players.

At this point an obvious question needs asking, who do we get to replace him?

People can prattle on about loyalty but any manager who ditches a club to come here will happily ditch us when a better offer comes.
People can prattle on about experience but when we gave Martinez and Rodgers the job, what experience did they have and look at what happened there.
People can prattle on about whatever they want but when the manager/head coach makes statements like Williams has recently, something HAS to change but who can we get, who can we afford AND who will want to come here?

The very thing a pin exoereinece pragmatic co@ h would do would be to end this style of play we employ right now. It is madness
This means no dumbarse full back goalkeeper goals kicks ,and Vigaroux not walking out and then stopping ,putting his foot on the ball then kicking out of play or to the opposition.
Then,a captain who .,when a free kick is given,passes it forwards
Then,when. Having a game,we actually get the ball forward quicker and get the ball into the box rather than stroke it around sideways .
End the crazy sight of Key and Tymon coming inside field onky to lose the ball .
Most important ,to end Grimes dropping back to centre half and realise we do not need everything to be sanctioned by him .

Ideally, inform Naughton ,Allen that they’re contract is to be terminated

We need to move heaven and earth to keep Darling and then make him captain ,as captaincy is what we are lacking
My eyes bleed when some refer to him as a “ great” in any way. Williams comments vis a vis Grimes are plain embarassing

Poll: Christmas. Enjoyable or not

"The board should put up ir shut up.....either sack him or sit him down and say your job is safe whilst we are going in the right direction then maybe things like Darlings situation can be resolved too"
This in spades


I think it"ll continue till WBA appoint a manager, if hes still here, he"ll have about 4-6 games to show us whats what, but if he is still here I suspect it wont be for long.

P££££ed against the wall his time here I think, only winning will work now.

I was going to the scum game but won't go if he is still in charge, in fact i won't be going again until he's gone from our club.

The last time i took this stance was when we had brad bobbly.

Im hoping it will be in the next week 🙏

If he is still here on Saturday the crowd reaction will be interesting. I clearly remember the Bradley out chant from 90% of the crowd. It may happen again on Saturday. I am yet to hear anyone defending Williams after last weekends comments.

It’s not just the crowd. I think he’ll have lost the team after that.

He was eulogising over Grimes last week. What must Grimes be thinking now? They can be professional, but I think it’s hard to respect him after he’s practically begged for a move.

I hadn’t realised he’d done the same thing at Notts County.

If WBA are still interested in him they must be licking their lips at the thought they could potentially pick him up on a freebie without compensation if he's sacked shortly. Unless of course there's a period of gardening leave in his severance package.

The loyalty thing isn't an issue for me. The financial package alone would be really attractive to him, especially given his modest career to date.

If his contract with WBA is for the same length of time as his is with us, with 2.5 years left on it and he earns even 10k a week more there than he does with us, it'll be worth £1.25m to him. And all that is probably very conservative as it'll likely be more than a 10k a week pay rise and presumably it'll be another 3.5 year contract.

The issue for me is the way it has been handled by him and his comments. It makes me question whether he has the intelligence and leadership to do the job in the first place.

The only thing that is saving him now is if he pulls out of the race publicly ASAP and even that isn't guaranteed. Saying sorry after WBA appoint someone else and/or he messes up an interview won't wash.

We mustn’t let it wash! The board won’t, certainly in the medium term I’m sure.

Right now,we are in the worst possible position.
A coach who isn’t at all committed to our club yet one who’s pitiful public utterances and that shameful Pompey show might well have scuppered his chances at WBA.
IF he gets that job,he starts on a downer as the fans would be very dubious of him as they can see how inept he has been with us. And he has.
Let nobody be fooled by this chap . No matter what “ some” say ,he has improved nobody much if at all and I am of the belief many players would welcome a new coach ,one who doesn’t insist on suicide footy

Get him out

I just hope that if Williams goes he's not the 3rd in a row to leave us and take their club up. That's not counting Duff who could do it from League One.

It’s always a possibility when the assets at the new club are superior to ours. I just hope he goes tomorrow.
