Obrien off?

A goal every 153 minutes for Pompey in league and cups (Excl Pizza Cup)
A goal every 179 minutes for us last season too.
On paper they’re great stats, but they flatter to deceive for us. The Pompey lot near me liked him.

Was the Disney CEO not owner wasn't he? Either way they don't seem that ambitious, again I think they'll be doing well to get top 6.

To the best of my knowledge, the plan agreed upon when the fans sold it was always to run it as self-sustaining, the honest real self-sustaining as opposed to losing 8 figures per season.

Turns out it's pretty difficult within football.

Aye that's right, still think he's worth $1 billion. Nice work if you can get it.

Even without spending much their recruitment has always seemed very bland and unimaginative. We beat them in the playoffs, they lost to Oxford the following year and seem to have run out of ideas since then. Top 6 will be a tough ask this year for them, especially if Derby sign off on this takeover and start bringing players in.

Cotterill is a decent manager for the level too.

Flanno
Tom Bayliss
Chey Dunkley
AOB

Are all top half L1 calibre signings they've brought in recently, maybe they're the surprise package this year.

Might stick them on ew as they’ll be massive ofds
 
He thought he was class and should have played all the time. He’s done nowt for us and nowt for Pompey and this will be the start of him bouncing around League One and Two clubs. Hopefully we’re past signing shite like him.

my point is you seem to know everything about football yet you told me you were an occasional fan and certainly not a Lads fan. Yet here you are with your knowing answers in every thread...
