00:00It comes back to, we've said this before about how Pompey used to be the big fish in the small pond, didn't they, in League 1, League 2.
00:07They were competing with Exeter, Port Vale. They were the team, Ipswich there for a time as well, they were the crops of teams that players wanted to join.
00:17Now they're in the Championship. Pompey are going to be lower down unfortunately. I know some fans won't accept that, won't like that, but that's just a fact of the matter.
00:27Pompey won't be among the big spenders, they won't have the biggest attendances, they won't be the biggest law in the Championship. That's what the situation is.
00:35And they've lost into a club whose aspirations are promotion, a stable Championship club as well.
00:45I'm not saying that Pompey don't have aspirations and aren't stable, but Cardiff have got more chance of getting promoted than Pompey.
00:51So that's what it is. It is disappointing, we're not saying it's not, we're not defending Pompey, but it's what it is unfortunately.
00:58And there are other targets out there for Pompey.
