Back from my hollybobs, so thought I best catch up with some articles on Vital Pompey!! 1 - Could you sum up 2014/15 in 3 words? Eat. Sleep. Repeat. 2 - Are you happy with the Paul Cook appointment; is he the man to bring us the success we're looking for? In all honesty, when he was...

That's always the $64,000 dollar question mslorna48, trying to find a manager to get you that success. I think we all hope to god we finally get it right this time. Just a lot more pressure with this decision, as the longer we spend in this league, the harder it is to get out.

As I said to Tim, my post wasn't meant to be negative. I guess I just feel next season is going to be our biggest in a long time and we need a strong character to be in charge and lead us forward, and when I look at Cook's CV, I'm not convinced. Still, he will get my support once he gets the...

My post wasn't meant to sound negative. I just feel we need a strong character to be in charge, especially as next season will be huge for us. Watching the PNE Chesterfield game, Cook definitely shows passion I'll give him that. I guess I am just not filled with excitement when I see his CV. He...

Back in January, I posted the first part of this when a friend (who is an evertonian) asked me what was my biggest disappointment at Pompey over the past few years. I chose to ignore the relegations, the ownership issues, and the debt. What did I plump for? I chose this season, and that was back...

Like I mentioned in an above reply, I know we all want AA to succeed, but I am a little worried that if we continue to let AA play in the transfer market, we are just making it harder for the next inevitable manager as they will have a squad of 40 and no money to bring in their own players and...

Thanks for the reply. I know we all desperately want AA to succeed but its beginning to remind me of Guy managing the club. He keeps talking about bringing in more players (probably pointless loans), yet he talks about the squad of 32 being too big! AA assembled that squad and he is struggling...

Completely agree with you. The rest of this season and next season are pivotal to the future of Pompey, get it wrong and we'll spend the best part of the next decade as a League Two mid table side. ' carry set a great example when we won the championship, he assembled a team to get out of the...

I worry for us in Jan and AA's recruitment policy. He says 32 is too big a squad, yet he was the one who assembled it! I can see a few more pointless loans coming in!!

Thanks for your reply! As a manager, I have never been a fan of keeping it in the club, just get the best man for the job, plain and simple. Put your club men into your backroom team. Mind you, look at Macca! Agree AA, he got the job on the back of a good end to the season. Ironic that AA says...

A question was posed to me in the pub the other day by one of my mates (who is an Everton supporter), he asked, "with what's gone at Pompey in the last few years' what's been your biggest disappointment?" Its a good question, it would have been easy to say the debacle of club ownership, the...
