Thread: Adams supposedly been fired...

feel sorry for the guy, the board decide to sell their 2 best players, what can you do? People say oh yeah well 2 players dont make a team, but when them players is your best striker who scores most of the goals and one in diarra who was key to pompey's defence then obviously its gunna be hard, i think people under estimate the importance of diarra and defoe to pompey.

What more could you want?

What about considerring their roles and how it affected the rest of their team? Diarra, a defensive centre midfielder gave the defensive part of the team some youth, Campbell and Distin are pushing on their 70s, without Diarra, the defense looks, old and laboured.

The fact that your owner is desperate to sell and Adams wasn't allowed to spend money to bring any players in permanently left him with little options. I think his only signing(?), Pennant is a pretty decent one considerring the task he had. He tried to sign Dos Santos, who is also a quick winger. The two wingers were targetted to be putting balls into the box for the strikers Crouch and Kanu/Nugent, all of which can head the ball.
If you ask me, Tony Adams has been cut down in his prime and Portsmouth have effectively taken a huge turd on his CV, killing off any major managerial career. If Portsmouth manage to stay up now with such a poor side, I'll be very surprised, but I will maintain that Portsmouth are only heading one way.Last edited by Loser; 10-02-2009 at 04:42 PM.

Oh I agree, all the teams in the south are heading for relegation, we can't attract the big money owners or the big money stars because we lack major attractions for those stars; they don't seem to like beaches for some reason :S
But Adams never had the same pulling power as Harry (damn that man..), foundations had been set and Harry saw it was going no further, given another opportunity and jumped ship (can't blame him..)
In terms of a DMF, we could play Lauren there and it'd work perfectly!
And Utaka was that man last season but he's gone haywire :S (in terms of attack)You french fried when you should have pizza'd. If you french fry when you should pizza, you're gonna have a bad time....
GREAT BANTER

What a surprise, happens before they play Stoke, we're bound to lose. Happened against Blackburn aswell and we lost 3-1 :rolleyes:

It seems Harry's departure has uncoverred alot of cracks. It really proves what a good manager he is. Originally Posted by Smiddy
