For the past few weeks, a tangled web has been woven over the future of Graham Rix at Portsmouth Football Club. Despite the teams fantastic start, a recent drop in form and confusion over player deals has caused fans to question who really is in charge of first team affairs at Fratton Park.
Mandaric told The News: : 'I think Graham Rix will agree we could and should have won a couple of games we didn't. We could also have lost a couple we won, like at Stockport. I want to see results maintained, because we're in the results business. There is no pleasure in making changes. I enjoy making changes the least out of anyone.'
He confirmed that Graham Rix was under pressure to keep Pompey in the top half of the table with an aim for the Play offs - goals that Graham Rix is aiming for anyway. Concerning the Sheffield Wednesday game, he said: 'It was a good result at the weekend which got us back on track. I didn't want us to get on the slippery slope.' It was a game that Yoshi made his debut and Mandaric will surely make a mental note of this as the Chairman is a keen believer in playing Japan's number one keeper.
Despite this story, the rumours will keep on coming due to the fact that Rix is keen to keep Beasant and sign a striker on loan - two things that the Chairman and Harry Redknapp are against.
