    Not sure if it's just me, but given 48 hours of digestion and cogitation, I'm feeling an awful lot less doom & gloom and a lot more "okay, this could be just fine, Sunseeker or not".....

    Now I'm not sure if I'm just a patsy for good PR, but this feels in a strange way similar to Nigel's sacking. At first outright fury, then the acceptance of the football fan that these things are outside of our control, let's buckle up and get on wit it.

    In other words, I'm still stoked.

    COYR!!!!

    I knew you'd get your stokedness back. We are a bit worse off now, behind the scenes, but we're still the same on the pitch. We probably won't really notice the impact of Cortese leaving until the summer.

    I've felt pretty sanguine about it all along really. No-one knows what might happen in future but for the foreseeable it really is just business as usual. Certainly no sign of the meltdown apparently expected by most journalists.

    still gutted at losing "our" driving force but yes, we've just got to move on & hopefully forwards. COYS.

    I suffered dreadful shock when we lost Adkins...hardly surprising as he was a nice guy who had got us 2 promotions. Felt a little better by the evening and began to be interested in the new guy...helped that he was gentle on the eyes :) Didn't feel quite so bad about Cortese...which is actually the opposite of logic...since losing Nicola would have a greater effect on us long term. However, I'm a short term thinker and, once I realised that the same team and the same manager would turn out today, I was on the way to recovery. I think the club's chance of being sold is probably the same as it was before since Katharina is the one with the power. The one constant in this is the club and fans...it's going to be alright I am sure.

    I think we're sorted at least until summer and then we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I intend to enjoy watching us play.

    I was a little concerned initially but now things have been clarified we know that in the short term it shouldn't have a huge effect.

    In the medium to long term this may not be good news but that's still not clear. It really comes down to how committed the Liebherrs are and that's been a question mark over the club since Markus's death. We still don't really have an answer either way so in some ways nothing has changed.

    It's match day, nothing else matters. If we win then great, business as normal. If we lose, then we can all get back to speculating and moaning and blaming on here tonight. I wanted to go today, but couldn't, soI am going to have a lunch time beer (or two) and watch it on BT Sport. Speckled Hen here I come.

    Well... I've given it a lot of thought, and yes, I am definitely a whore.

    Why can't all threads be this simple?

    Going by your avatar, it looks like you're actually a crack whore.

    Absolutely sensational that you can put "Whore" in a thread title.

    I feel guilty. I didn't really get bothered at all by it. Shocked, surprised but not really worried or bothered by it.

    Tbf, crack might be the only thing that can make watching Portsmouth bearable. Or at least some kind of drug.
