Portsmouth fans to attend 'friendly passionate protest' for Kenny Jackett to be sacked as manager

The Blues have opened their 2020-21 campaign in limp fashion.

They've picked up just two points from three matches, having suffered an insipid 2-1 loss to crisis-club Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

As a consequence, Pompey languish in the League One relegation zone.

Against the backdrop of last season's play-off semi-final defeat to Oxford, the pressure has ramped up on Jackett's position in the Fratton Park hot seat.

Not only are significant sections of supporters frustrated by poor results, but they've also bemoaned the style of football that's been on display.

In a bid to allow supporters’ voices be heard, fan Harley James has created the event 'Enough is Enough - JACKETT OUT PROTEST' on Facebook.

It takes place at Fratton Park on Saturday, October 10 during Pompey's League One meeting with MK Dons.

The description of the event says that it is a 'friendly passionate protest against the management of Portsmouth Football Club (Kenny Jackett)'.

So far, 229 people have said they will attend while a further 651 people are interested.

Those who do attend must take ‘all reasonable measures’ to stop the spread of coronavirus in line with the risk assessment and any relevant government guideance.

Pompey travel to Burton next Saturday as they look to pick up a first league win of the season.

The Blues then travel to Southend in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday, October 6 before facing MK Dons.

Pompey opted not to comment when approached.
