Portsmouth about to implode

[RobB]

If today`s meeting between Mandaric and Redknapp results in Harry leaving then it`s back to the nationwide for Pompey.

I tend to agree. Its happened to other clubs that let success get to their heads and totally shake things up. So it'll either result in relegation next year or in the much less likely scenario it could pay off. At this point i'm just fed up with the chairman for even taking the risk.

Just read this in the Independent. It looks like Harry doesn't even want to stay and said Milan is "shifting" him. It's over.

They`ve had their meeting and looks like it`s been patched up. Whether it`s just a united front until after the last match or a permanant thing remains to be seen.

I hope Pompey do the sensible thing and keep Redknapp, at least it now looks like if he does leave it will be on better terms and not the implosion I`d anticipated.

I fink dat me heds gon bandy.

This is what happened. Harry and Milan agreed to improve the coaching staff by retiring off Jim and bringing in a new man. Harry didn`t want to upset his old pal Jim so when he broke the news to him he blamed it all on Milan. Jim was not happy and told Harry to tell Milan he was staying. This is what Harry did but Milan told him to tell Jim they`d already agreed on him leaving. Stuck between a rock and a hard place Harry goes public to get his side of the story across first. It was a big mess and may not be over yet, but it looks like they`re all staying with maybe another coach being brought in aswell.

If that's what really happened thats a pretty slimey move by Harry.
