Yes. Jumped or pushed ??
Can't see who can turn it around without spending serious money.

Indeed. we'll have to wait for the book or loose lips for the answer!
It's going to take a lot of cash and rebuilding before they reach the same levels of success they enjoyed under CW.

Trouble up north, trouble down south…Pompey have decided Jackett is no longer required. Defeat against Salford in the Trophy final the final straw, after three straight league losses. Form had been erratic throughout his time at the club- we won and lost 4-0 in consecutive matches in January, twice making the play-offs then losing in the semi-finals, always falling short of getting promotion, and the board have finally had enough. Chris Wilder would probably be a good fit…fingers crossed the Eisners find the right man, if not for this season then the next.
FWIW, pretty sure Wilder was pushed. New owner and he did not get on, at all.

Well done Sunderland- though the BBC Look North reporter ended with a snide, "It's only the EDL Cup though".

Nothing worse than snide comments about it only being EDL or SPL.

Yes. That’s right, and is why Swindon Town is one of the most successful English teams in European competition, having won both the Anglo Italian League Cup in 1969 and the Anglo Italian Cup in 1970.

Not sure I’d want to be associated with the EDL either (maybe a fair few football fans who are),
EFL cup all good though

What bit was laughable, out of interest? I read it but nothing struck me as unusual.

Spurs being spursy.
I reckon 'spursy' is going to be in the next OED; meaning to throw something away, typically due to an abject performance, from a winning position. It's like 'to bottle' but to do it with a consistency and regularity that indicates a trait or habit. Anyone can bottle on a big occasion, but to do it over and again deserves its own recognition.
