Premiership - Avram Grant v Portsmouth Manager

Well, with Tony Adams keeping up his marvelous impression of a hopeless drunk fully into his football management career, it is no surprise that he has been releived of his duties this morning. Some shrewdies were on at 25/1 for Pompey to get relegated, and will be kicking themselves now as it looks like the new manager will pull them out of the fire.

I have a pretty good idea that it is going to be Grant, as all the talk is about him and when you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

Grant was technical director under Redknapp on the south coast before he moved to Chelsea, where to be fair to him, even though he didn't win anything, he did get the blues to a champs league final, and we went into the last day of the season with a chance to still win it.

He still has a home near the ground, and he is very friendly with the owner who is still deaprate to sell the club. He is also a decent shout because when you look at the next few in the betting, you realise that there is not that much about.

Curbishley is next best, but doesn't have the oomph that he had in the past, Sven is in charge of Mexico at the moment, and he would not have any sort of budget to spend on players, Poyet would be better suited to starting off at a lower level, Jordan is just another Adams, and should keep to doing what he does best, and that's being a number 2. Hoddle is a possible as he has been making noises about a return, but that's again too much of a gamble as he has been out of the game for too long. Then you've got the usual suspects who will never get offered it, or take it.

Grant will be made manager sooner rather than later, so get on whilst you can.
