@Windle22radio 11m11 minutes ago On words "done deal" with Cook told #pompey board not to make final decision until all candidates seasons are finished. Come on Preston then



Portsmouth fans are saying its a done deal as well also Skybet have him down as 1/10 on as next Portsmouth manager.

Is this somebodys opinion or is it fact ?

The tweet is from a freelance journalist who has worked at Talksport and a Portsmouth radio station.

So it's a journalist who can't even get a zero hours contract and has had to go freelance ............

I don't want him to go, but if he does, please let him take Richardson with him so we can really have THE HUMP.

[Dancingwilldoit]

Bloody he'll Dev you've changed your tune !!!

[Devongone]

Yes I have. He's been loyal and an excellent player. He proved me wrong, or he will IF he can be his own man as manager.

My fear was always not Humphreys but Turner. If Humphreys turns out to be a Turner puppet, we'll fall apart.

Given the choice who would you take Richardson who failed spectactularly at management, or Humphreys chosen by players themselves to represent them ........? Seems a no-brainer to me.

I'd rather keep Cook than any other choice. I'd take Kevin Davies in front of Humphreys if it were really offered. Or Danny Wilson, but I don't think those two are in the running. I always said Humphreys came to be our next manager - I hated the idea then - now I'd guess top half.

But then I think we'll win at Preston, so I'm clearly off my trolley.

If Cookie does go I hear a certain Mr Hasselbaink was at the match last night.
He would seem to be a good fit in my opinion.

[spireitematt]

At the end of the day whatever will be will be. It's out of the fans hands, we can't vote on who the next manager will be and if we did we would probably choose the wrong one.

The manager who I would like to see manage us is Mark Warburton. He's worked wonders at Brentford, got them out of L1, got them in the Championship playoffs and has Championship experience. It's a shame Brentford are getting rid of him, all because they have ambitions of getting to the Premier League.

[Devongone]

I'd take Hasselbaink at centre forward ....... but look where the Burton team came from ...... and look where Birmingham finished. They were leaking eight a game and were dispirited by all their ownership issues when Ramage arrived from Burton. Jimmy Floyd was clever enough to know a good management deal when he saw it. And Warburton I wonder whether his magic is transferrable. I'm more for finding our own magician than pulling someone else's out of a hat. But then I don't think Cookie is a good idea for Portsmouth. The Hump knows what's there on Whitt Moor. He can build where necessary, keep the good stuff and demolish the useless. And he has to be bright enough to recognise he's unlikely ever to get a better or more familiar hand to play ............

But if I were Portsmouth I'd leave us alone and stop looking round for ways to get lightning to strike twice. You get a Ronnie Moore and you might save your life in Division 2 like Hartlepool, but come up with an Eddie Howe like Bournemouth and Sky TV is calling.

I'd get wise if I were Mr Cook and wait for a good offer, not some idiot child in the front row shouting I like that trick do it again mister ....

[bluepooch]

Use your loaf.It'll take a lot of dough to get Warburton to come here.
