Taking things slow, the Portsmouth way
Posted by Craig under football with the tags Harry Redknapp • Peter Storrie • Pompey • Portsmouth FC • Tony AdamsPortsmouth Football Club lost their manager, Harry Redknapp over the weekend when he was lured away to another job. This obviously caused a bit of a headache for Portsmouth’s Chief Executive, Peter Storrie, who was tasked with finding a replacement manager.
Of course, it’s not easy to decide on the right man - and to find one that is available etc, so Mr Storrie was taking a sensible view on things. This is what he had to say on Sunday :
We won’t rush into appointing a new manager. Peter Storrie, Portsmouth FC Chief Executive
Earlier today, Redknapp’s assistant while he was in charge, Tony Adams, was appointed as the new manager - a full two days after Harry left.
Good to see they didn’t rush into anything, eh?
