Adkins targets first away win of season
5:24pm Thursday 15th November 2012 in Sport
Nigel Adkins
Nigel Adkins is hoping to mastermind a first away success of the season, as Saints prepare for a bottom-of-the-table clash with QPR.
Both clubs have endured poor starts to the campaign, with Mark Hughes' side winless and rooted to the foot of the division, while Adkins' men are just a point and a place better off.
Something has to give this weekend, as QPR go in search of a first victory of the season, while Saints look for their first away point.
Adkins said: “I am looking forward to another game. It has been a good week’s training. I feel fit, I feel fresh and I’ve got an energy about myself.
“I feel stimulated and I am looking forward to the next game in the Barclays Premier League game, which is away to Queens Park Rangers.
“It’s the next game in the journey that we’re on. Every game that you look at has three points up for grabs. That’s what we’ve got to go and do.”
The predicaments that Saints and QPR find themselves in means the fixture at Loftus Road has taken on greater significance than a match in November normally would.
Adkins admits that Saints will have to cope with extra weight being attached to every game they play between now and the end of the season.
“We’ve already established that we’re at the wrong end of the league table,” he said.
“We can’t hide away from that and so the importance of the next game is always going to be highlighted. But it is going to be like that for us for the remainder of the campaign.
“It’s a tough league that we’re in, we’re well aware of that, but one we love being in and one we expect to be in for many, many years to come.”

Nigel feels fresh and fit, what about the players how do they feel. If we lose this game we are gone, no manager will turn it around. I wish Gaston Ramirez can repay the money spent on him. Perhaps morally this does not sit down too well with talisman Lambert and Lallana, hence why their goal scoring has tried up.

My own judgement will be made early/mid December. By then, it will be up to NC to judge whether a new manager can do a better job with a treasure chest to spend in the January sales.
My money is on NA to deliver. His longevity could well be our making.
To date...I'm proud of the way our fans have backed him on matchday.

First they have to get the money in, then they have to buy the ground, then they have to persuade all the loanees and monthly contracts to sign up for a club that doesn't particularly like paying regularly or have any real belief in contracts.
We have quite a nice ground and the prices are in line with most of the clubs in the division we are in.
You have a sh!t ground and the prices are in line with some of the clubs of the division you are in.
The people who will own your club are mostly people who are already rich and 1200 or so others.
Why are there only 1200 Pompey fans who think it worth their while to invest????

If successful, it will be the first time since 2008 that the people who control the football club also control its car park and office space. ‘Those negotiations are happening now,’ said Ian McInnes, who will become club chairman should the PST bid to own Pompey be successful.
He also said the fight in court to buy Fratton Park from Portpin, which is the stadium’s mortgage holder, would be ‘tough’.
But he added: ‘I’m confident we’ll prevail.’

I am just glad that I am not involved.

The land belongs to former Pompey owner Sacha Gaydamak, who has kept hold of it since he sold the club to Sulaiman Al Fahim in 2008. But the Pompey Supporters’ Trust revealed at a press conference this afternoon that developer Stuart Robinson will be buying that land as well as Fratton Park itself.

BARCELONA FANS OWN THEIR CLUB
NOW POMPEY FANS OWN THEIR CLUB
First they have to get the money in, then they have to buy the ground, then they have to persuade all the loanees and monthly contracts to sign up for a club that doesn't particularly like paying regularly or have any real belief in contracts.
We have quite a nice ground and the prices are in line with most of the clubs in the division we are in.
You have a sh!t ground and the prices are in line with some of the clubs of the division you are in.
The people who will own your club are mostly people who are already rich and 1200 or so others.
Why are there only 1200 Pompey fans who think it worth their while to invest????
If successful, it will be the first time since 2008 that the people who control the football club also control its car park and office space. ‘Those negotiations are happening now,’ said Ian McInnes, who will become club chairman should the PST bid to own Pompey be successful.
He also said the fight in court to buy Fratton Park from Portpin, which is the stadium’s mortgage holder, would be ‘tough’.
But he added: ‘I’m confident we’ll prevail.’
You mock pompey some of you and have no vision or desire to change things for the better for Saints perhaps you all have tunnel vision and thats why saints have not won any thing worth while to talk about .
yes if PST had not formed a few years ago we would have been liquidated and with some way to go but we are alive .
Saints should start one up to safe guard their future you were in a similer situation a few years ago your not immune .

dadofmy3sons wrote:dadofmysons you will find as a supporter you have no say or the running of southampton fc a group of honest people who love football and support pompey want to give the game back to the fans not the greedy owner or a chancer .dadofmy3sons wrote: In other words, well Pompey speak, no chance pal. We will move in and carry on like before and not bother with paying bills. 2000? owners will have a lot to say but no one will be listening.should have included quote Ospey response at 9.24. geriatrics and keyboards , eh? can't wait to be a grownedup
fans can affect change. if saints started to bring in over priced players on wages that we knew we could not afford, then the saints fans would make their voices heard! i (and i think many others) would rather bounce along the bottom and just survive (are you listening thebooooorer) than chase glory for a couple of years and end up paying the price! the main difference between saints and poopey though is that we have the infrastructure, the training ground is ours, the academy is ours, the ground is ours oh and our owners have genuine honest money.
you have to accept though that if you do manage to buy the club (have you pledged) you will never be a top flight club again! you as a club will start with more debt and do you trust a property developer owning the ground? you have ex players that still want paying, king kanu is suing for his money as is sol c. BC wont take your offer and even if you could convince a judge that a legally binding charge should become null and void he wont stop there, more courts will be involved pushing costs higher and higher. i said months ago and still think the same, you should have let the club go and started again, without debt, but your fans wanted to keep the history of the club! yes i read it on the fews, a poster asked if you started again would you keep the history, your love of your history will be the end of your club.

Not that we should be discussing the news about the PST here anyway.
however you poked me and I shall throw my tuppence into the ring.
This is just the first step in a long, protracted court battle. PKF have no interested in resolving things sooner (if they had they would have moved things on long ago)
BC stands to lose 15mil if the PST get their way - you think he is honestly going to step aside and let that go without a fight? not a chance! and besides I really do think you should listen to what he is saying. The PST are doing this on a hope and a prayer and if you think that you will have any more say in what happens to your team than a fan of any other club in the country - you really are delusional.
BC didn't get rich by being stupid - he's a business man and he knows what he is talking about.
I would be really really worried about a PST taking over the club. They might talk a good fight but you do wonder what deals are being struck behind closed doors.
anyways.
Bring on QPR. I'll be supporting my team on saturday.

Somehow I don’t see Geldoff, Queen and Sting putting in an appearance. But maybe the little man with the hat & the mallet from 80s kids tv could be persuaded to host the retched event, subject to a small nominal fee, get Harry to negotiate that one.
Adkins fit in body but not has the wherewithal mentally when it comes to trying to win their second game. QPR won't be any easier and the hosts look really nailed on to get their first home win. scummers rock bottom once more.
It's all in my crystal ball!
Then you’ve got to book your ‘talent’, which in this case we’ll have to use the term in its loosest sense. A live installment of Coast to Coast, direct from the shipyard. Dinnage and co, reliving the TVS glory years. Now tell me that doesn’t rock your barnacle covered boats. I’m sure you guys have plenty of little street urchins, capable of belting out a rousing rendition of ‘run rabbit’ or some other Cockney inspired toe tapper. I know, I’m thinking outside the box here, but take my advice and by all means run with it, preferably into oncoming traffic!
