Portsmouth Could Win The French Ligue 1

Ex-Portsmouth manager Alain Perrin is enjoying a new lease of managerial life with Lyon in the French Ligue 1, after his team demolished Papin-led Lens 3-0 over the weekend and returned to the top of the league. This is the same man who took over Portsmouth in the English Premier League and promptly led them close to relegation. But now, with a team filled with the likes of Milan Baros, and many other quality players whose names I cannot recall, perhaps he has found a league where his tactics fit and "his strategy is falling into place".

Now, perhaps if Portsmouth, rampant winners yesterday in the English Premier League with a resounding 7-4 thrashing of Reading, were to switch to the French Ligue 1, you might start seeing them in the Champions League.
