Hart removed as Pompey boss
5:50pm Tuesday 24th November 2009 in
Pompey manager Paul Hart has been "relieved of his duties" by the club this evening.
In a statement, the club's board said it had made the decision "reluctantly" and had based it on the team's results and league position.
Pompey are currently bottom of the Premier League with just seven points from 13 games.
Hart was offered the role of technical director, developing players from the ages of 18-21, but he declined the position.
The club said it plans to announce a replacement "very quickly".
For the moment, first team coaches Paul Groves and Ian Woan will take charge.
Chief executive Peter Storrie said: “Paul has worked under very difficult circumstances with the financial restrictions the club has faced since he took over.
“However, the board feels that the team should have accrued more points to date and that we need a new man in charge to ensure Premier League survival.
“The board would like to thank Paul for his work not only in keeping the club in the Premier League last season but also for his time in charge of youth development.
“Paul is a man of great dignity and we hoped he would stay and help us develop younger players on the fringes of the first team. We are genuinely sad to see him leave. Everyone at the club wishes him well for the future.”

Goes to show they have no class in sacking a guy who has fought to keep them in a position that is by far way above their station, what comes now (hopefully relegation) is no more than the tw@ts deserve!
Keep on as you are Skates and we'll pass you on the way up!......COYR.

Paul Hart is better off out of it. As soon as Avram Grant was appointed he was a dead man walking
Shame about Mr Hart....he was doing really well considering all the politics.
