We can now see what paultsmouth had to say when asked a few questions about Pompey, the season just gone and the one ahead along with the ‘possible’ future ahead.
Vital Pompey has previously brought you the ‘knowing me knowing you series’ – which is still running, so others will be added and if you want to do one just email – and we had the ‘talking Pompey with’ series last summer, this now returns under a new name and some fresh questions as ‘Pompey talk with’…
paultsmouth was asked 6 questions about the 2008/09 season and what the hopes are for the 2009/10, one and indeed our future, is.
This is what they said…
Frustrating, Disappointing, Underwhelming.
At the time of writing, the gutter press is doing it’s worst, really giving Pompey a going over. They are finding dirt where it should be Daz white, but if he takes over, first up will be the joint training ground and Fratton revamp, both almost immediately you would hope, and then it would be a decent manager with a bit of charisma, then stability around the team itself, Jonno is our jewel in the crown, but he could well be gone by the time due diligence is complete, if so he would need to be replaced, and then the team needs strengthening throughout to improve on what was a disappointing season in the end.
Until we know what budget we have, I’m loathe to speculate, hopefully it won’t be bargain basement stuff, but I would love to see us sign a striker with something to prove, and some good younger talent.
Any of the freeloaders on big wages, ie: Traore (Djimi), Lauren, both who should depart anyway, Utaka is our biggest enigma, but we may just stick with him for another chance.
If the takeover happens, a solid start and maybe a European push and good cup run, if it all falls through, survival!
All home and a couple away is my norm, getting more expensive everyday though.
Thanks to paultsmouth for answering these.
PLAY UP POMPEY!
