Portsmouth Aims for Steady Growth in Championship

Portsmouth CEO Andrew Cullen is hoping to see the club make steady progress in the Championship. After back-to-back seasons of narrowly avoiding relegation, Cullen wants the team to kick on and achieve a higher finish.

What's the current state of Portsmouth?

The Blues have finished 16th and 18th in the second tier under head coach John Mousinho. This season, with another summer of investment, Cullen is hoping the team can make a push for the top eight.

What are the club's goals?

The goal is not to be permanently encumbered in a relegation battle, but to make steady progress and achieve a higher finish. The Championship now offers an eighth-place play-off place, which brings a new dynamic to the league.

How will the club achieve its goals?

Cullen has looked at how the club can model things over the next four to five years, as well as next season. He believes the club is in a good place to make progress and achieve its goals. The club has never had any direct approaches for head coach John Mousinho, despite speculation about his future.
