Wilder will end up managing another team,maybe league one or championship and don’t be surprised if he gets them promoted,he is a good manager who knows the leagues and he won’t be out of work for long

It felt inevitable. The wheels have come off big-style since Christmas. The football has been largely turgid and devoid of much sparkle throughout the four years he's been in post; and I think that meant he and Gallen had less credit in the bank when things did take a turn for the worse.

No caretaker named which suggests there might be someone lined up.

Not yet, but I expect by this afternoon there will be several names in the frame - some more realistic than the others.

Depending on who we want and who's availble, I wonder whether we might bring someone in until the end of the season and take things from there.

It could be an attractive project for someone as we've a lot of players out-of-contract in the summer, meaning there'll be scope for the new manager to put their own stamp on things quickly.

Will be interesting to see if you go down the 'upcoming young manager' route or dip back into the merry-go-round.

It will. My suspicion is that a permanent appointment will lean towards someone up-and-coming - just as a reaction to what has gone before; though I'm not expecting it to be a complete rookie.

I don't think there were many Pompey fans who didn't think Jackett was the right appointment at the time, given his record elsewhere - and I don't think he'll have done his reputation elsewhere much damage during his time with us.
