Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock and ex-Hearts manager George Burley are in the frame to succeed the Frenchman. In a statement, Mandaric, who has overseen the coming and going of eight managers since he took over in 1999, hinted that he would not look abroad again. "I really believe a knowledge of British football is an underestimated asset in a manager and the demand of Premier League football are intense," he said. "We have some wonderfully talented players and the most passionate supporters in the country. "I will now turn my attention to attracting a successful manager to Fratton Park. "I am confident we will find the right man for the job to help Pompey get the season back on track." Perrin's departure comes exactly a year to the day since Harry Redknapp resigned as manager, on 24 November 2004.
To be perfectly honest I am not very surprised at this decision by Manderic because Perrin has failed miserably at his job at Portsmouth. I thought that this would have happened along long time ago. I quite fancy Sir Bobby Robson to become next full time manager at the club because I think Portsmouth is the kind of job he needs to get back into football.
