Hello Gigi

So we finally have a new manager. Welcome Mr de Canio, even if I had never heard of you until now, Im sure that this is my error, not one on the part of Gianni. I wish you well, like I do with every other manger. I have also learnt from my mistakes and wont praise you in a blog as this will lead to a dreadful run of form and your sacking.

I wonder, however, what you will make of our squad. Its an odd squad, mostly built for free or nearly free. Our forth most expensive player broke his leg and our second most expensive player has just had an op, but at least the top costing bloke looks good and the other one that cost money is a damn good keeper in the making.

So if you have a shed load of Bernie and Flav’s, where should you spend it? Wisely is my advise. Generally speaking I think it would be better to bring in 4 or 5 £1 million players than splash it all on one. But not an entirely new team. That would be a waste of time as new players will need to gel. You could start with a couple of our loanees, Rowan Vine and Craine have changed our team immeasurably, but I suspect you may face a problem with Crainie as Pompey like him. Its not worth breaking the bank for either of them. Of the rest – take em or leave em, if the price is right (i.e. not very much), then fine, otherwise I wonder if there are some Italians you know who want to give the Championship a go.

There are of course a few blokes who need to go. The previous manager got rid of most of them, but there are a couple lingering around. Im sure you will figure out who quickly enough, or failing that just listen to the boos from the Loftus Road faithful for clues.

Anyway have fun.
