Danny Cowley møtte forrige uke formann Michael Eisner (t.h.) for første gang.
NYHETER: Michael Eisner var i Portsmouth for første gang i 2022 da han så Pompeys hjemmekamper mot Oxford (tirsdag) og Shrewsbury (lørdag).
Da fikk han også møte manager Danny Cowley og hans bror Nicky ansikt til ansikt for første gang.
«We speak on a regular basis – pretty much weekly – via Zoom and the family have been nothing but supportive since the first day we arrived at the club. It will be good to meet them in person for the first time, although we did of course see Eric and Andy when they came over earlier in the year. Michael coming over with his family is absolutely brilliant and hopefully we can give them two games to remember«, sa Cowley til Pompeys nettside før Oxford-kampen.
Formann Michael Eisner er som kjent bosatt i USA og han har ikke vært i England siden før Covid-19. Hans sønn Eric (i midten på bildet over) og styremedlem Andy Redman har derimot vært over. Senest tidligere i år.
Takknemlig for muligheten
Danny Cowley forteller videre at de er takknemlige for muligheten til å lede Pompey:
«We’re appreciative of the opportunity he’s given us and we’ve always had clarity about what the project is. He’s given us the confidence to take a long-term perspective and our ambitions are to build the foundations that can create sustained success. We’re making progress with that.”
Michael Eisners sønn, Eric Eisner, er for øvrig aktiv på Twitter og har twitret litt mens han var i Portsmouth forrige uke:

Back in the US; another great trip over the pond. Wish we got more points obviously, but it’s a long season and we are creating a stable organization built for the long term. Happy Halloween to everyone out there! #pup
