Adams had only been in the job since October when Harry Redknapp deserted the club for Tottenham. To be fair to him he inherited a club which would not back him in the transfer market and also sold some of their most influential players. I think that they had been playing some pretty good football and had suffered some bad luck in recent weeks, but I guess that results are what matters. Especially when relegation could see the club loose millions of pounds. Avram Grant and Allan Curbishley have been touted as replacements.
I can understand Pompey's position but it seems sad to me that good English managers are not given the time to develop in the premier league. Will there ever be another english England manager?

Whilst I'm unsurprised at this, I am utterly appalled at the way clubs treat their managers. When Portsmouth sold Lassana Diarra to Real Madrid for £20 million recently, I remember suggesting to my father-in-law that they were 'taking the money and running' so they could afford to pay off Adams before the season is out (my predictions are so hot I ought to be a weatherman!) and now there is rumour of Avram Grant returning as manager! People bleet on about how the Premier league is the best league in the world, the sad truth is it just isn't. It is nothing more than a pale imitation of it's 90's hey day and has been rinsed of any passion like an old dish cloth.

On the plus side, he's a phenomenally good Jimmy Nail lookalike.

I don't think Adams should've been sacked. They were unlucky at the weekend and deserved to win the game against Liverpool. Sacking people so quickly after not getting results isn't sending out a good message to any future managers, either already in the game, or thinking about becoming a manager.
