Having heard the views of chris1954 and Pompeysurrey that of Ronald Wilson encompasses both, reacting to them, also adding an opinion of their own.

The there is only one man to blame and what a mess articles were born from comments these members had made in the Sunday Chimes column from eastneydave.

Reacting to both comments, Ronald Wilson went on to question the part Mark Catlin has played in recent months at Pompey.

They said: ‘To play devil’s advocate: Jackett obviously knew that we needed midfield reinforcement, as well as other needs, but was obviously told that there was no money available, so had no choice but to try and patch things up with loanees. You can’t bring in the type of player we needed for free during the January window, so the real mistakes were made during the summer transfer window, when he also had little money to spend thanks to not knowing if we would remain fan owned or sell out to Eisner. The real culprit in my opinion is Catlin, for not only bringing in a serial quitter (Wolves was the only club that fired him, he ran away from the rest), but allowing players with value, like Bennett to be given away for nothing. Even Storrie wasn’t as bad as Catlin in some ways.’
