Snowflake Royal If he wasn't sacked for Fleetwood, it's unlikely he will be for Pompey.

I reckon he'll be gone before we play Derby though.


And given that he's an ex-Scummer. Pompey fans will be all over that on Saturday.

Joey Barton’s available now.

He is good with young players, good at using them as ashtrays.

I think they'll hold off until we're embarrassed at Wycombe.

I’m sure a lot know more than I do but don’t you need an owner to care enough about results/performances to sack a manager? Can’t see it happening while Dai is here.

Unless Bowen just sends an email saying "If I don't hear back from you by cob today I'm sacking the useless cnut and putting myself and Hunty in charge. You'll thank me in the long run you frog faced cnut."

Please tell me that would be leaked if it were phrased that way

I can’t see him being sacked until the ownership situation is resolved, but hope I am wrong.

Obviously, I wish he could turn things around, but I can’t see his narrow system working in this league. I am fully expecting to have to suck up a heavy defeat tomorrow.

A comment I saw on twitter yesterday made me laugh as someone said that they couldn’t get to the game and was asking where would be the best place to watch it. Someone replied from behind the sofa. I must admit the first 30 minutes in a lot of our games this season has made me want to look away at times.

Start a Selles out chant and no doubt the Pompey fans will happily make it audible.

Any manager who loses a home game against Fleetwood should be sacked

After the way we goaded them in their mess with 'pay up Pompey' I doubt they'll do much to help us

Yeah quite possibly this

I’m not convinced a new owner would come straight in and sack him either tbh

I think Dai will pull the trigger. It'll just take time for results to filter through and Bowen to chase him enough to get hold of him and get a decision.

Finally made some long overdue tactical changes which were an improvement. Still didn't get it right.

IMO we should be playing something like that shape. Away Craig sweeping, at home Elliott behind Smith.

Felt his throw on two strikers substitution today was the sign of a manager who knows he's in last chance saloon. That and letting the keeper go up at the end... He'll be gone this week one way or another

He won't be sacked unfortunately

7 defeats in 8 is definitely sackable, especially in league one. We should be doing better than we are and he's not getting the best out of these players. Even if we did sack him we'll hire another nobody manager than no one's ever heard of.
