Seems a pretty thin story full stop. NA could be a day from the jump or NC could have given him ten years of backing; I'd be amazed if the DE knew either way.

this is great news! NA has been given the backing of the board, so now it time to put all this adkins out rubbish behind us and push onwards and upwards. NA has the backing of most of the fans aswell and the game against swansea should see a new rejuvenated saints team on the pitch, the players will feel the presure thats been on NA and it would have affected them too. lets turn swansea over and get a cracking result!

The lads showed great grit and panache in the first few games but now seem to have their heads down.

I truly believe that if Saints are to turn this under Nigel SMS must becoming a cauldron of support .. the support away is brilliant.. absolutely brilliant!!!

Good Luck Nigel and Team.

What I don't quite understand is how Fox launching everything 40 yards fits in with the certain style of play they talk about.

He seems to be so central to the game plan delivery wise that Nigel feels the need to leave him in.

Got to be Shaw now at left back in a 4-4-2 with someone reliable and hard working in front of him (Adam is battling enough this season to do that job nicely).

Then Cork, when fit, could actually save our season.

For me we also need to choose a No.1 and stick with him. Personally, I think Davis would be the most assured choice, especially as the players have so much experience of him at the back.

I do find it quite odd that both Lambert and him seem to have been seen as less central to our first team in the Prem - for me they were two of the players I was less worried about making the step up.

Good news on Nigel, now let's see the players show their backing for him by playing out of their skin on Saturday - they'll need to. Swansea have quick wingers and guile, so we'll need to be at our very best.

Our squad is average and with the exemption of a few players will get relegated. If we are within reach of safety come January we will undoubtably stregthen our defence nd be fine but..... well not likely! We look great going forward but, for the first time I agree with Gary Neville, our full backs are leaving us exposed defensively. Clyne is brilliant going forward, Fox is dreadful, but both get caught out of position time and time again. This may be acceptable if you have Vidic and Vermalen in the middle but unfortunately we dont. Fox and Clyne both dart forward and unfortunately with the formation we have that would either require us leaving wings exposed or having to drop more creative players back. Personally I would drop Fox and give Shaw a chance, put Rodriguez on the bench and play Ward Prowse / Cork in the middle, just to have a bit more grit. Lambert is the classic centre forward and noboday has resembled Shearer as much as he has, with Lallana and Ramierez behind him, it could work.

i hope everyones taken the chance to read the match report from the poopey game on the fews site tonight!
to summarise;

Woeful Pompey crash to fourth loss on trot (headline)

the Blues failed to muster a single decent goalscoring chance all game as they tumbled to a shocking defeat in their worst display of the campaign by a distance. (oh dear oh dear!)

Understandably, boos rang out at the final whistle as home fans vented their frustrations. (come on we all know they would never boo their team! oh and they were leaving early aswell!)

now i know why we have had a skate free night! what i dont understand is, we have been told over and over again that booing your team is wrong and you never ever leave early! so it cant have been them. how many times have the fish tried to hit us with that? perhaps it was the away fans booing cause they only won by 1 goal! well fishys we know you will be reading tonights posts though you wont have the courage to post yourselves, so can i just say to the bestest best best bestest best fans in the world (tm), not as good as you thought you were are you!

oh and only 11,328 bothered to `fudge` pack the park! thats still way down on our L1 average btw and when we played brentford at home we had 19,641! whos the bigger club then!

I can't believe all the sack Nigel Adkins claptrap. These so called Saints fans remind me of the so called Arsenal fans who decided that they had seen enough at 4 nil down against Reading and decided to go home early. Well I hope they beat the traffic. Nigel Adkins took a so so Division one team through two straight promotions to a level when they are now playing against some of the best club teams in the world. At least 4 of the side every week are still the same players. They are the same players because Nigel Adkins has the vision to know that those he has kept have the potential - having been too good for League 1 and the Championship - to play successfully at the top level. If he is given the chance to prove it, we will return to a sustainable Premier League existence free from bankruptcy. It is possible we will fail, but if we do we will come back up because this time we have sustainable financial foundations and a manager and squad too good for the Championship. It would be horrible to be relegated, but far worse to kow tow to the knee jerk, "home at half time if we're losing", lily livered, fair weather so called fans who lack the stomach to see us finishing the job of creating a solid club. Hopefully Nicola Cortese is not stupid enough to read our comments, but if he does I hope that he remembers the long term vision of Marcus Liebherr rather than succumbing to the short termism of those fans with less fibre and backbone. The club was a mess for years last time we caved into the short term hiring and firing mentality and we only just survived. Nigel Adkins for as long as it takes...

The accuracy of these reports is always vague. Meetings about performance would not have lasted hours. NC would have sat NA down, they would have discussed various issues according to a pre set agenda. I expect it would have included poor results, reasons, requirements for strengthening, who should stay, who should go and planning for January. If we are going to buy players we will be looking now, everyone knows that. But who? I suspect it will be from international sources and may not be players we know already. We shall see.. its all guesswork.

NC would have set out his expectations for NA who will now KNOW...not wonder.. but KNOW .. what he has to do to stay. That will not be reported anywhere.

I am glad that it appears that Adkins has an extended time to get things going. We shall see but I think that it is speculation to set a time limit on it though and any estimate by any paper is guesswork.

I believe Nigel's methods are sound and are good enough for the premiership. What I also believe is Adkins may have done everything he possibly can with this group of players. I still believe they are not doing their job regardless of NA tactics. Is this down to ability or are there other factors. I don't know.

What I am sure of though is that a couple of signings that looked good at Championship level are not Premiership level. I have doubts about Davis and Rodriguez who I thought would shine but seem a bit lost with the speed for the top level game. I hope we see Lee at some stage and Mayuka because they haven't truly had a chance to show their mettle yet.

It seems that Adkins has been given some time. Good.

We the fans must now get behind him, do our bit, keep the faith and remember .. we are Saints fans - that will never change.

my mate was at WBA last night , he summed it up perfectly : " we were great then we were rubbish, it was organised then is was disorganised, Nigel was great, some of the time, its juist Saints, roll on the weekend...." he also said that he stumbled into a pub after the game with some mates and they were suddenly surrounded by 50 black dudes and they were the only whites there and later left the pub after having a great time and having talked mostly about cricket...

It's gone 2 in the morning ffs, stop making me burst out laughing!!!!.

As a I know Saints and their fantastic 25000 real supporters, then St Marys will be rocking this Saturday. And the tide will turn. Nigel and Co will also be already sorting out some loan deals for January to beef up the defence as he has made lots of good friends in the Prem, namely the mgrs of all the teams who have beaten us already !!

25000 supporters? I thought you filled your ground with 32000 every game? Surely all those plastic jcl's can't be getting bored already? They'll need to be there on Saturday for Nigel's "swan" song as manager!

More to the point that the realistic supporters see it different to your meltdown panic option. You are entitled to hold that opinion of course but forgive the majority if at the moment they don't see it your way, if results continue to go bad, I guess there will be no option, but until January, the best Manager in the World couldn't turn things around with what we have on offer. You simply have to give everything you can to back NA to turn it around. Negative thoughts won't change a thing.

Totally agree!

So, those of us who realise that Adkins did well by getting out of the 3rd division and second division because of massive financial backing but falls woefully short in his team selection, tactics and substitutions in the Premier League where he has no experience are lacking fibre, backbone etc etc but as long as we get relegated and bounce back then all is good? As soon as we got promoted I knew things would be too much for him. I really like the bloke but he has failed in 9/10 games to master any sort of victory and we only beat Villa because they were awful at the time and lost their most influential player. Wigan at home was the clincher for me. West Ham away was ridiculous.
The pro-Adkins brigade keep making out that those of us who are fed up with watching an inept defense and forward line short of confidence are no true Saints fans and should be taken out and shot. When you've shelled out thousands of pounds a season to watch the team you don't want to slowly watch a sinking ship. If we don't win at least 3 of our next 4 games against very beatable opposition something has to be done. Pretend you're a businessman, what would you do when it's obvious the man in charge of your multi-million pound company isn't quite up to it? Absolutely no room for sentiment here. If he gets us out the mire by xmas then great but we could well be 10 points adrift after the next few games and then what? I'd love him to prove me wrong as I don't normally like changes to disrupt things but look at our players' body language and the fact we've already conceded 28 goals with 3 quarters of the season left! Jesus Christ, stop viewing him with such rose tinted specs because he got us into the Premier League! Markus Lieberr's money got us here. Any manager would have done that with the resources, facilities and squad we had. He's clearly not cut out for this division as the table shows very clearly. "Oh, but he's a nice bloke and always positive." So is the old drunk guy who sleeps in the subway near my apartment.

Lucky then that 'New Co Poopey', which is the eventual conclusion of this slow demise, won't have a history, so you can be safe in the knowledge we won't have to harp on about it, unless mid-table somewhere in the Southern League is anything to harp on about.

By the way, with your inevitable 10 point deduction you are now joint bottom of League 1. Congratulations.

21.28. Some home fans have had enough. They are off.

What a completely stupid thing to say!! Getting promoted back to the premier league is by no means a simple task and we could find ourselves stuck in the championship for a long time. To be honest i think we would loose key players like Lallana, Lambert and Ramirez if we got relegated and would struggle to attract players of similar quality to replace them. It is vital that we do not get relegated this season and must do all we can to ensure survival in the Premier league!! Any one who thinks otherwise are completely deluded and have conceded defeat already! I am a long suffering Saints fan and am proud to be just that, but now I think we deserve to have something to cheer about and have the funds/infrastructure in place to finally compete at the top level! In my opinion it is the players that need to step up, grow a pair and prove to us saints fans that they deserve to wear the shirt! They are the ones that let NA and all the amazing saints away support down on Monday night and now need to stand up and be counted and show that they want to play premier league football for Southampton F.C. Gary Neville summed it up beautifully that night and said that "The individual errors that these saints players are committing are simply poor at any level of football" What is NA supposed to do when these players are jumping out the way of the ball instead of putting their bodies on the line for the team. NA needs to show the players the Monday Night Football footage of Gary Neville's assessment of the team and then see how they feel/react to it. We need to stick with NA and start supporting the team together. That is our job as fans, but the players need to step up and be counted and start playing with pride. That is their job as players! Now go get a home win on saturday against Swansea. Up the Saints

It's gone 2 in the morning ffs, stop making me burst out laughing!!!!.

It amazes me how any of the papers knows what is going on, we dont and we live on he clubs doorstep.

I agree - let's pick it up at the end of November. We've ripped the arse right out of it on here and there's really not much else left to say.

I support my team. The clue is in the word support.

You ought to try it sometime, especially in the hard times.

It tends to sort out the real supporters with a bit of perspective from the WUMs.

I support the team for 90mins unlike some who leave early,not all the fans were happlily waving and clapping when Adkins walked on the pitch at west brom either although thats what people who dident go seem to think .

A well placed insider tells me that although it was a long meeting yesterday the issue over Nigel's tenure was actually settled in the first five minutes.

The main discussion centred upon the current situation - and in particular the precise balance of strengths and weaknesses.

Nicola told Nigel that he often hears the weatherman on TV say that it will be "partly cloudy" or "partly sunny" - but when exactly does it change from being one thing to the other thing?

Nigel said he didn't know as quantifying some issues exactly was a bit of mystery to him. "It's like a bale of hay Boss" he said. "If you take one piece of straw off it, it's still a bale. Same with two and three and so on. But no-one has ever said at what point it stops becoming a bale just and becomes a bit of hay."

I'm told that the matter, quite understandably in my view, was not resolved and therefore a further meeting will take place on Friday.

Ta for the compliment (well the first sentence anyway). As you'll understand, I have to make the most of the "118" joke because its lifetime is limited untl Saturday,when I will have to think of somethng related to the numbers 119.

PS you can get 8/1 odds on Adkins staying until the end of the season - how much have you bet?

PPS why are the Google ads on this story's page about "making a will" and "book a luxury cruise"?”


Have you hear the one about when pompey eventually get taken over it will be -10 down Pompey and bottom of the league I see a few of the teams down there with you won last night well done Bury and Coventry good old David McGoldrick

How is laying out bare facts pessimism? I only occasionally write on these forums and base my posts on facts unlike the tripe you spout Osprey. People in glass houses mate...I'd love it if we suddenly march on up the league and keep Adkins and all live happily ever after because he turns into a tactical magician. Can't see it happening until January when we buy new defenders though and he learns to bring on subs a little bit earlier.

SaintJD wrote:
I, like a lot of people, have been coming to these forums since the days of the Dark Lord.

To someone looking from outside, or a Poopey supporter, the debate on here could be misinterpreted as civil war, unrest or divisions in the support base.

But that's rubbish. I think the last few weeks on here have been quite remarkable really - with the vast majority of people sticking by and actively supporting NA and continuity at the club in difficult times.

The vast majority of those people realise that we've got serious problems this season, some like to point out those problems and suggest fixes, others like to focus on the positives.

But the main thing is that I'm confident that the vast majority will get behind the team on Saturday. That's something I wouldn't have been sure of in the past if we were in a similar position.

Equally, I think the support has been excellent so far, probably helped by the fact that fair weather fans haven't filled those few empty seats.

There is still a unity built up through many seasons of battling through bad times and we need to hold on to that. Sticking behind NA is part of that and I hope we stick by him not just for the full season, but for next campaign and beyond.

As I recall he took over from Ted Bates with Saints in the top five (?) but Saints were relegated at the end of the season finishing 3rd bottom - they went down with Man U. LM stayed and took them back up. I dearly hope Saints can pull themselves up and avoid relegation but it may not be the end of the World if they dont! Stability in the management is important.

How early would you like the subs brought on? Or should we start with a different team, this might save bringing the subs on? You exude pessimism, surely not a good quality in a football fan?

You want to see optimism? I'll show you all my losing betting receipts from Ladbrokes after betting on Saints this season. If I was pessimistic I'd be wealthy.
Go look at the league table and have a little word with yourself. Then go look up pessimism in the dictionary. I'm not pessimistic, I'm fed up. Adkins' tactics, subs and decision making have been mostly wrong. Optimism says he'll learn. Pessimism says he'll carry on playing Fonte and Rodriguez and leaving Lambert out for the odd away game. I can't believe we're having this conversation when Saints are rooted to the bottom of the league and I've watched every single game this season scratching my head wondering when things will change..You're just trying to win favour with the masses by ignoring the simple fact that we are BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE. I'll still cheer and shout his name at games and support the team but I can come on here and say how I really feel away from the players and manager. You scared they read these posts? I've heard less delusional tosh from the blew (very) few.

Are you a skate ?

Similar but just a pessimist

How is laying out bare facts pessimism? I only occasionally write on these forums and base my posts on facts unlike the tripe you spout Osprey. People in glass houses mate...I'd love it if we suddenly march on up the league and keep Adkins and all live happily ever after because he turns into a tactical magician. Can't see it happening until January when we buy new defenders though and he learns to bring on subs a little bit earlier.

So say something positive then...
How early would you like the subs brought on? Or should we start with a different team, this might save bringing the subs on? You exude pessimism, surely not a good quality in a football fan? Go and sit in the corner, think for a while, (end of November or longer?) then come back with something positive...like, maybe...this is a tough division isn't it, i've been so used to success that i'm now very upset and i want a new toy...Listen to yourself

You want to see optimism? I'll show you all my losing betting receipts from Ladbrokes after betting on Saints this season. If I was pessimistic I'd be wealthy.
Go look at the league table and have a little word with yourself. Then go look up pessimism in the dictionary. I'm not pessimistic, I'm fed up. Adkins' tactics, subs and decision making have been mostly wrong. Optimism says he'll learn. Pessimism says he'll carry on playing Fonte and Rodriguez and leaving Lambert out for the odd away game. I can't believe we're having this conversation when Saints are rooted to the bottom of the league and I've watched every single game this season scratching my head wondering when things will change..You're just trying to win favour with the masses by ignoring the simple fact that we are BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE. I'll still cheer and shout his name at games and support the team but I can come on here and say how I really feel away from the players and manager. You scared they read these posts? I've heard less delusional tosh from the blew (very) few.

Oh, and I'll say this right now. We won't get relegated. Last time I said that I got loads of grief on here and we did. I strongly believe we will stay up.

I can't believe all the sack Nigel Adkins claptrap. These so called Saints fans remind me of the so called Arsenal fans who decided that they had seen enough at 4 nil down against Reading and decided to go home early. Well I hope they beat the traffic. Nigel Adkins took a so so Division one team through two straight promotions to a level when they are now playing against some of the best club teams in the world. At least 4 of the side every week are still the same players. They are the same players because Nigel Adkins has the vision to know that those he has kept have the potential - having been too good for League 1 and the Championship - to play successfully at the top level. If he is given the chance to prove it, we will return to a sustainable Premier League existence free from bankruptcy. It is possible we will fail, but if we do we will come back up because this time we have sustainable financial foundations and a manager and squad too good for the Championship. It would be horrible to be relegated, but far worse to kow tow to the knee jerk, "home at half time if we're losing", lily livered, fair weather so called fans who lack the stomach to see us finishing the job of creating a solid club. Hopefully Nicola Cortese is not stupid enough to read our comments, but if he does I hope that he remembers the long term vision of Marcus Liebherr rather than succumbing to the short termism of those fans with less fibre and backbone. The club was a mess for years last time we caved into the short term hiring and firing mentality and we only just survived. Nigel Adkins for as long as it takes...

Yep, wish we weren't stuck with you though.

I support my team. The clue is in the word support.

You ought to try it sometime, especially in the hard times.

It tends to sort out the real supporters with a bit of perspective from the WUMs.

I support the team for 90mins unlike some who leave early,not all the fans were happlily waving and clapping when Adkins walked on the pitch at west brom either although thats what people who dident go seem to think .

Ah, so you DID go Kent? What time did you arrive at the ground?

A crunch meeting going on for hours?, resulting in poor old Nigel being given the yellow card! -- what a pathetic way to manage!
How can dangling the yellow card over Nigel's head, for the month of November, inspire and encourage either Nigel, the team, or the supporters all knowing that one or two slips and Nigel gets the red!!
A good, caring Chairman would have inspired Nigel, the team and the supporters by :- extending his Contract by at least 2 years : bringing in an experienced and respected PL coach to help Nigel undertake a root and branch review of the present coaching staff, the team, the training and tactics and turn the results around.
For God's sake all the top managers have top coaches supporting them , does anyone really think that the likes of Wenger, Ferguson, etc.do it all themselves.?
What would that have cost? -- if it didn't work out, weasel Cortese could still sack Nigel, it would just cost the weasel a bigger payoff, which I'm sure none of the supporters would begrudge Nigel.
The atmosphere at SFC must be like one of the old Hammer Horror Films with Prince of Darkness, Cortese running things with his henchman Reed in the shadows, dressed in a black cloak ready to swing a huge battle axe If Nigel does get the chop he may consider himself well out of it and good luck to him!!
If anyone should go it should be Cortese, bag and bggage!

I wonder why Kent141 ignores my questions as to anything specific about his claim to have been at the WBA game. I've even offered £20 for any proof that he was there. It's as if he fears being caught out. I think we should be told....

my mate was at WBA last night , he summed it up perfectly : " we were great then we were rubbish, it was organised then is was disorganised, Nigel was great, some of the time, its juist Saints, roll on the weekend...." he also said that he stumbled into a pub after the game with some mates and they were suddenly surrounded by 50 black dudes and they were the only whites there and later left the pub after having a great time and having talked mostly about cricket...

That is my experience over many years of watching and playing football, obviously it differs from yours but we are all entited to our opinions.
If anyone really thinks that by Cortese giving Nigel the yellow card, that, in itself, will improve Nigel's performance, they must be living in cuckoo land along with their pal Cortese.
There is no one at SMS with PL experience the only thing that will assist Nigel is to bring in help in the form of an experienced respected PL coach immediately.
The happy clappers who can't come up with any sensible suggestions apart from saying we're Nigel 'til we die and it doesn't matter if we go down as we will bounce back up and our season starts next week, are pathetic and talking crap and have been proved wrong time and time again.
Like it or lump it, at least I am suggesting something positive, if my proposal or something like it isn't taken up, then Nigel will be sacked by the end of November.
No change in players, no change in coaching staff, no change in tactics, equals no change in results . Cortese's only remedy is to threaten Nigel with the sack -- and all will miraculously come right -- well I've got news for Cortese --the last miracle occured over 2000 years ago and there hasn't been one since!!

(it's only swansea - we can beat this ****) RED ARMY. THE PRIDE AND THE PASSION. FIGHT TO THE END.

Yes you are 100% correct. The TV pictures of those Man Citeh fans after Ajax's second goal were priceless. "Supporters" sitting motionless, silent, with bemused expressions on their faces, unable to understand what they were seeing. Yes, my instant reaction was : "they look just like Southampton supporters!!".

So, make sure to respond better, noisier, when you go 2-0 down to Swansea on Saturday!!

And those pubs you name - well you'll more probably be in there AFTER the game, drowning your sorrows! 119!

One of the biggest own goals by the man city fans last night is they sat in silence at 2-0 down. SAINTS FANS must have the mental strength to just GO FOR IT on the Terraces.
