    Blackburn sitting #2 in the Championship. But Kean looks to be out any day.

        Supporter pressure. It's not like they have been brilliant since he took over in 2010.

          Sure, but why not fire him mid-season last year if you want to bring in someone else to try to keep them from getting relegated? Or at the end of the year? Why wait until he's had what seems to be a pretty good transfer window* (Murphy and Etuhu will be good signings for them), let him spend all that money on Rhodes, wait until the team is off to a good start (sure, the loss to Boro isn't great, but still, 2nd place is 2nd place), and then sack him?

          * How did it wind up that they signed six Portuguese players this summer? That seems tremendously random.

            I don't really care who ends up the coach, as long as they move back to the EPL for next season and Venky's stops dicking them over as an ownership group.

              What's the difference between QPR and a triangle?

              A triangle has three points.

                  Erik Soler out at NY Red Bulls. Former Liverpool man Gerard Houiller in as sporting director and Jerome De Bontin in as general manager. Interesting timing.

                    Pompey's won 2 games in 4 days. Starting to gel a bit, loving the fight from this team.

                    Once the team's out of administration, they'll receive a 10 point penalty, which basically puts them at 1 point earned so far this season, but only 5 points clear of safety. So if the good form continues, there's a darn good chance of them staying in League 1 despite the -10.

                      Didn't they just qualify for the playoffs? That is interesting timing...

                        Not yet qualified, if Wikipedia is to be believed, and in a tight race to avoid the play-in round.

                          Is that one time only?

                          It would be great to see them eek it out and begin next season on even footing.

                            It was supposed to be one time only last year, which let to relegation to League 1.

                            But for some inane reason we have another, additional 10 point penalty this year...for...what? For the FA appointed Admin not doing his job? Not getting Pompey a new, stable owner? The Portsmouth Supporter's Trust has been wanting to buy the club for close to 4 months now, but the Administrator won't let them.

                              Double post...

                              Pompey was up 2-0 to MK Dons today, and ended up drawing 2-2.

                              Still, 7 points in the last 3 games is solid. The team is certainly trending up.
