Hull approach for Grant?

No way he'd leave pompey now

well, I think I know what would have happened if this had been one of our previous managers...

the worrying thing is, is they would offer money for him and the club needing it

russellm its not fair saying he is average on his tactics,look at what he has to work with,its not the greatest team in the world is it and for strength in depth whats he got to call on,about 7 defensive midfielders and not much else,give the guy a break,he cant be that bad on tactics to have taken chelsea as far as he did,and look at where we are in the cup aswell.

AVRAM GRANT is still the only one ever, that took chelsea to the champs final, as the better side(they lose to MU because of a bad luck). Not mourinho took chelsea to the champs final and not anyone who come after him, except of AVRAM GRANT. Russel, you've better hush and not react like an irritating child, that know something, anything, about tactics, when you are talking about the only manager ever, that took chelsea to the champs final, as the better side, especially when he replaced Mourinho when they spotted 6 or 7 in the league. AG know everything and anything, tactically and strategically and the players fight for him. if that wasn't the case, pompey would have tottaly collapsed right now. Supporters like you russel, there are plenty in chelsea, that's why after AVRAM GRANT lost in the champs final(when chelsea was the better side), he was dismissed "for a bigger name" that even not close to the ability of chelsea under AG rule. but hey, pompey is not chelsea and has no budget like chelsea and AG could choose to manage standard league teams from england, italy or spain and not a collapsed club. but hey, one russel can't spoil a huge crowd, with heart, passion and wisdom and the fact that AG, win the polls here with more than 80% that claim that the most important thing for pompey, more than anything else, is that AG will stay next year, talking for itself. I don't know if AG will stay or not, it's depend on him, but the huge love of the crowd, is an important motive in his decision.

to be fair i know where russ is coming from and i guess in a way i agree...i like grant, the repore that he has with the fans is something else and he genuinely does care - you can see this, altho tactically, little to play with - which is true - or not you have to look at it objectively and say that i think points have been lost when changes in players/formation could have seen otherwise. he has had so much ***** and has little to work with but the same could be said of hart and he was not cut as much slack was he? nor adams i guess. they were slated for tactical flaws. whilst grant HAS NOT had as many as them and has made some minor changes, sometimes these 'might' have been left too late? the formation being used with us, not that i am saying ANY formation would, it not really working is it. yep it worked with chelski, but that was chelski and lets face it you would expect success given what he had a chelski...
like i say i am not knocking grant, far from it i really like the guy and it is fantastic to have a manager that really does care, but his often one dimensional approach is not always going to cut it is it and 'if' we sort things out over the summer and 'if' he stays on a more 'even' playing field would people give him as much leeway?
clearly i DO NOT want him to go now, and would be happy for him to stay next season do not get me wrong, but have to say in all honesty if it was a choice between keeping grant or keeping 15pts at the start of next season then i would have to say that keeping 15pts is more important - and voted that recently...

3 good things this year. 1) Avram (Dont agree he is tactically inept, Do agree he has blunt tools so be fair). 2) Wemberlee, Wemberlee ( A chance to forget all the bad times). 3) Admin Andy, may upset a few but atleast we now know we still have a club, and it WILL be put back on track, unlike Storrie telling us one thing, and doing another. So Hope Avram does stay, Hope Andy gets us a Buyer, and Hope we all enjoy a Day in Wembley regardless of anything else.
