John Mousinho Portsmouth Q&A: Will he leave amid relegation, signing Ipswich Town’s Conor Chaplin and players’ futures
The Pompey boss answers your questions this afternoon, in a feature exclusively for subscribers at portsmouth.co.uk
Will you be here next season if Pompey are relegated? (Various)
‘I think that would be a question for the ownership and the sporting director more than myself.
‘But I can promise the fans now I’m not lining anything up to try to escape.
‘I haven’t got a crystal ball and I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but I’m fully committed to the football club.
‘I’m not thinking beyond the next six games and the next month at the moment.
‘But ultimately, whatever happens this season, we will dust ourselves down and review where we are.
‘That’s something I’ve spoken about before, we need to review everything we’re doing at the football club.
‘That’s something we did when we won the league, by the way, it’s not just something that happens after a season where we’ve not been as successful as we would’ve liked to be.
‘We need to review everything at the football club and look at what it will take to compete at whatever level we’re at - and we’ll go from there.’
No Will Conor Chaplin sign in the summer if he is not offered a new contract at Ipswich Town? @tedz_hall_pfc
‘I have no idea at the moment, because I’ve not looked that far forward.
‘It will be something we’ll need to look at, but if we had the chance to take Conor Chaplin on a free then that’s something the club would look at.’
Is there any chance of getting Caballero permanently? @LittleNoahhhh
‘I think we’ve got an option on Gustavo and we’ll see how that pans out.
‘Again the pressing thing at the moment for us is the league position.
‘Recruitment changes depending on what league we’re in, so we have to be very wary of that and go from there.’
Is there any other news on Pompey contracts? @PompeyPandP
There’s no updates on that - but we’re still trying to get those deals done.
