harry didnt look happy, slightly concerning

no he didnt look happy

dave your right mate iam really worried about this year fact no joke we have not moved on as we sould have brought in second rate players and got rid of better players we have no money and harry and storrie have fallen out becuse he is seling players he wanted to keep , harry will not tolerate that fact , BENJIFAN iwas at the meeting which harry decided not to go to make your own mines up on that one ,??/ nugent will be next sasha does not like him so ive been told been on the p-ss he is not happy with him , i make it we have spent nothing this year on players this year , i think we are going to struggle if we get injurys

I don't believe the club would have sold Mendes unless Harry agreed it, he has calculated that we have loads of central midfielders and are desperately short of pace and width. Davis was our best midfielder first half of last season. Ultimately I am pleased that the club is showing some fiscal responsibility. We could not go on spending the way we were on crowds of 20000. You only have to look at leeds to see where that can get you. Another top half finish will be a good achievement.

The last six years have been an absolute dream for us and yes, I am sad to see Pedro go but we do NOT want to see the dark days of 98 again.

Keep the faith - PUP.

Trueblue/Dave/+ others, would you be happy as a manager that has just led your team to it's highest league position for 50+ years and just won the F A Cup to boot, only to find that alleged promises made about transfer funds were no more than the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? Hmm, let's think about that! Harry with his backroom staff (probably one of the smallest for a team in it's position) work out what they need to take the team onto the next level. The CEO, being the go between the staff and the owner goes on Sky TV to announce new 'quality signings' and we are no longer a selling club, then suddenly we start to sell. First Muntari, then Mendes and no doubt Nico, had Arsenal any money to spend. Crouch aside, we've signed Little on a free, the Thomas today, also on a free. Ok, we spent money on Kaboul, but this is a long way off what Harry supposedly thought he would have to play with to strengthen the squad.

Whatever people on this site think of Harry as a manager and person, he has brought the long awaited success to this club that us supporters have craved for. We are in Europe as a result of lifting the F A Cup. It may be years before we see another final contested by teams outside the top four. We have a number of English players currently involved in the national squad.

Therefore give the man credit for what he has achieved. I suspect that some days he questions is it all worth it. Having to wait on decisions from above as to whether his transfer targets can be funded. I sometimes wonder if he feels that he could achieve more personal satisfaction if he put his resources into getting Bournemouth out of the mire.

If he quit Pompey no one could blame him. I'm sure many of us would feel equally frustrated at the position the club is in. This is not laying the blame at Sasha. I've stated before that money is hard to come by at this moment in time, especially when you are a foreigner in a different country.

I bet if Harry quit and took over a

old blue........how many times we gonna hear it.........yes we won the fa cup, yes weve done well, but we were led to believe we would be progressing this season with a team to hold there own in europe..................what have we got..........2 nquality players gone and 2 championship players in......................i do agree it has been great, but if your honest you must seriously question the standard of our squad and how we will cope in europe.................then storrie blames things on the credit crunch.....open your eyes some of u, yes we won the cup yes we finished higher than ever......but yes we will finish in the bottom half this year and yes we will crash out of europe very very early, u mark my words

i think someone in charge is finally losing it at pompey , hilarious and tragic at the same time, replacing class players with championship players and playing long ball to a tall striker who isnt good with his head anyways,

something big is gonna happen soon at pompey i can just feel it
