Hart leaves Pompey

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

He is the son of Johnny Hart who was involved with city as a player between 1945-1961, then managed us for a short time in the 70s.
It's a knocking bet that Paul is well steeped in City and more than likely a Blue.

Is that so?

Never knew that. Interesting fact.

His biography on Wiki starts his playing career at Blackpool when he was 20:

"He made his Blackpool debut on 22 October 1973, two months after signing for the Seasiders............"

But something at the back of my head tells me he was at City as a youth player before signing for Blackpool, because of the Johnny Hart connection. I vaguely remember getting one of those signed squad autograph sheets as a kid with 'Paul Hart' (who?) on.

Either way it's a bad way to treat someone, BUT sometimes you just have to make a change. Lots of people have 'played well' and gone down.

And no-one can say managers aren't well-compensated for their troubles!

He was a good centre-half with Leeds in the seventies.

I would think about getting him in with the kids.

Wonder if they've someone lined up who's insane enough to take the job....?

Yes, they've had a former Chelsea manager lined up for some time.

Feel sorry for Hart. Came across as a decent type and I atully think Pompey are in a false position. Dead man walking though.

Re the 'former chelsea manager'; I had read that Avram 'recently exhumed' Grant didnae want the job yesterday. Football doesn't just direct itself you know.

Anyway considering how skinted they are he could be on a hiding to nothing taking the step downstairs.

Today appears to tell a different story. Also in the frame is Baby Baconface apparently, after leaving the Posh. Couldn't give a stuff who takes over really, but I'll be crossing everything for them on Sat against ManUre.

Is he the first manager to depart a prem club this season? I cant remember!?

I have him as the first manager to get sacked on my predicitons you see...

I think so. I had him down on my predictions as well but everyone did so we've picked the next manager to be sacked. I've gone for Megson, still looking likely!

[Dameerto]

Just out of interest, is he any good at coaching defense?

Just you wait - after a respectable period has passed to make it look like they're searching for a replacement, young Baconface will pop up at pompey. (I bet the deal was done before he left Peterborough)
