The way this business has been conducted disgusts me and im more angry now than yesterday.
Even the more critical of NA like myself have been won over by him over the last ten or so games so knowing what was going on behind his back has done it for me.
I know fans will all have different opinions but to blindly follow the club whatever happens is not for me.

NA had come as far as he could with the club (nearly the worst start to a premiership season of all time).

Sure he has done a lot for saints, but we need to be progressive and i think this is a progressive move.

This guy is highly respected in Spain and will bring a level of Premiership to the club.

Fans need to do some research, get behind him and stop being so negative.

Our fans are so short sighted at times

you are spot on. it just goes to show how little is known about european football when Lawrie mac actually says the new guy had achieved nothing in football. He built a great team at Espanhol a club without financial resources promoting more than 20 into the first team and then was forced to sell the lot because of financial pressure,. He was rated to be the next Real madrid manager at one stage. This guy is the real MCKoy. Cortese would never do anything to hurt the club this has been done for the best. You cannot get top european players to coms to us unless their coaches are known and respected and Adkins sadly was an unkown quantity outside of these shores. You can bet that this was the main reason for his departure as well as doubtful decisions at times durig games. Saints mean to be a top four club and this unhappy event proves it.

Sleeping on this it seems to me that the timing was all about the fear of Nigel becoming a success. He clearly had given the nod to the new guy (can't even remember his namio without going back to look it up) because he has bee 'studying' the players for a matter of weeks - so it has been in the bag behind Nigel's back.

The fear was starting to grow with Cortese that he had a very good manager under him - but there is something non-football going on here!! The longer he left it the higher up the table Saints would be - Cortese didn't want that.

Cortese is about himself - his ego in achieving something - Southampton FC is just a product. he will think he's doing it for the club but he is doing it for himself.

I like one or two others on here are toiling with the decision to go on Monday. Being there makes me feel party to everything and the force behind the blade in his back. But I will always be a Saint - what a conundrum - I have a 40 mile each way trip to each match - kind hope the snow keeps falling and makes the decision for me!!

If he had to sack him after little over a year - and our results in League One over 2009/10 weren't up to his expectations - Cortese clearly made a mistake with that appointment.

Not only that, Pardew has shown he is a fantastic manager in New Castle.
In any case, sacking someone like that, after winning back to back promotions, after an away victory and a draw in Stamford Bridge... it's not only crazy it's just plain disgusting and shows you quality as a man.

"This guy is highly respected in Spain."

He was respected as a PLAYER, but has precious little experience as a MANAGER, and took Espanyol to the bottom of the league, which is why he was sacked.

Add to that, he does not speak English.

Cortese should be taking a senility test.

Lest we forget even for all our not losing we are not winning when we have the chance either...

NIgel is a decent human being indeed a gem in this day and age, however progress needs to be made, standing still (drawing) is still slowly going backwards.....

...NC is damned if he does and damned if he does'nt address this issue.

Not in my opinion - in Cortese's opinion.

If you fire someone that's recognition that hiring them - in hindsight - was a mistake.

My point is - to those who argue Cortese doesn't make mistakes and act as if he's infallible - this is an example of a "mistake" he's made.

Let's just hope what happened yesterday wasn't a "mistake". We'll know soon enough.

Somewhat surprised at you slugger. You have been one of the voices of reason over Nigel's difficult days, and I thought you would be disgusted at cortese's treatment of a very good manager, and decent human being. I really wouldn't want you in my corner if things got tough. He has stabbed the man who got us into the premiership in the back, and if that is ok with you, I am disappointed.

That attitude allowed jimmy saville to abuse kids all those years in the hospitals. Schwi can f11ck off and take his money with him, I for 1 want my club back.
A lot on here have very short memories, we had an egomaniac chairman before and look where that got us, are we really that desperate that we allow this little foreigner drag our good name and reputation into the gutter, alienate our previous hero's and generally treat every one he comes into contact with with such

Loyalty is earnt, what kind of impression is this leaving on the youngsters coming thru the ranks? And some questioned the loyalty of chamberlain! F4ckin amazing

You will come back.

TOGETHER AS ONE!!! RED ARRMY..!

Ooh, a little red army came over me all of a sudden..

The way this business has been conducted disgusts me and im more angry now than yesterday.
Even the more critical of NA like myself have been won over by him over the last ten or so games so knowing what was going on behind his back has done it for me.
I know fans will all have different opinions but to blindly follow the club whatever happens is not for me.

Get over it FFS NA is not coming back so move on and get behind the team!

Can I have your ticket then to sell on? Someone will want it if you don't.

My seat will remain empty this season in protest and i wont be back,i have only missed a couple of home games in ten years so am not some some glory hunter like a lot of the plastics who attend games now.
Football fans feel like they have to support their team out of misguided loyalty and put up with everything thrown at them.

I'm serious with this comment three halves.
If you are serious too about not wanting your season ticket then please let me know how much you want for the rest of the season. Thanks

It is about integrity not money so my seat will remain empty for the rest of the season.

Which seat is it?

Another way of looking at it is this ........ Nicola made a mistake with Pardew (in your opinion) ...... He had the balls to correct the alledged mistake pretty smartish .

exactly my point slugger, he has always done what he thinks is right for the club. The most important thing we must remember is if he goes the money goes to

That attitude allowed jimmy saville to abuse kids all those years in the hospitals. Schwi can f11ck off and take his money with him, I for 1 want my club back.
A lot on here have very short memories, we had an egomaniac chairman before and look where that got us, are we really that desperate that we allow this little foreigner drag our good name and reputation into the gutter, alienate our previous hero's and generally treat every one he comes into contact with with such
contempt?
Loyalty is earnt, what kind of impression is this leaving on the youngsters coming thru the ranks? And some questioned the loyalty of chamberlain! F4ckin amazing

Couldn't put it better. This is OUR club. Sitting back and letting this little c11nt do what ever he likes is just as bad, same as those that new saville was abusing kids but kept quiet because he was bringing money in with charity.
Shame on you that back him. Un f4ckin believable.

Have mentioned earlier, receipt will be behind bar of pub of choice. Very hollow win I feel but bets a bet, i wasn't far out and my opinion of cortese and reason to doubt him i feel has been proved right.

Yes...a hollow win...but a bet's a bet.
Also...probably not the best idea to slate our ownership quite to the extent you do (unless you have a better backer waiting in the wings). It can be taken as trying to undermine what us Saints fans are actually best at...supporting Southampton Football Club!

I repeat the history lesson, ferguson, moyles and wenger equals longevity in premiership.
Lowe and Cortese interfering dictators equals disaster. Here endeth the lesson. Back cortese and you will also bring the club back down to it's knees.

The problem for us Saints fans is that from a business perspective ie success at any cost NC is probably right...

..However for us real fans we have been introduced to a strange thing called 'integrity'...

..when you look at the crooks who actually run the very top of football never mind ruthless chairman look at Blatter et al you can then see how alien it is..

...and we all liked it, that 'as one' feeling against Coventry was something I have never experianced before and I have been going since 1971..

So Cortese has possibly done the right thing commercially and the worst thing morally....for big corporates who don't give a flying fück about their customers it is one thing.....

...however for a club to throw this feeling away is very dangerous and makes any future success feel 'tainted' as it was at the expense of something more important..

GHK..you are emotional about it, as we all are...but lets not kid ourselves, we support our city represented by our team BUT football is a rotten business, at the very top Blatter is imo a fraudster of mega proportions..to a greater or lesser degree they are all at it..

Big clubs have bought football whats the g16 in Europe all about...the big clubs 'owning' football and all future fans and revenue that's what..

So Cortese has a decision to make..I hate the decision and feel that whatever we gain in the future will be for ever at the expense of an honorable man....

...from a perspective of the future and because football IS commercial Cortese
as a corporate thinker did what he thought was in the best interests of a corporate company....

Regrettably for all concerned Nigel, Fans and even Nicola himself something decent has been sacrificied in the process......

....unfortunately that is the path big business 'believes it has to walk for huge success, all corporates at heart are nasty beasts and I am a capitalist...

In conclusion big business does not have a soul because it THINKS it cannot afford one..

The fear was starting to grow with Cortese that he had a very good manager under him - but there is something non-football going on here!! The longer he left it the higher up the table Saints would be - Cortese didn't want that.

Cortese is about himself - his ego in achieving something - Southampton FC is just a product. he will think he's doing it for the club but he is doing it for himself.

I like one or two others on here are toiling with the decision to go on Monday. Being there makes me feel party to everything and the force behind the blade in his back. But I will always be a Saint - what a conundrum - I have a 40 mile each way trip to each match - kind hope the snow keeps falling and makes the decision for me!!

Go!
Support our team.
Thats what we do,lets show our appreciation of Nigel,show our discust at the way he was deposed, then move on.
The players need our possitivity.

Did you see that?

There's little bit of Nigel left in all of us.

Somewhat surprised at you slugger. You have been one of the voices of reason over Nigel's difficult days, and I thought you would be disgusted at cortese's treatment of a very good manager, and decent human being. I really wouldn't want you in my corner if things got tough. He has stabbed the man who got us into the premiership in the back, and if that is ok with you, I am disappointed.

I'll always support whoever is in charge (or at least give them a chance) , I was as gutted as anyone at yesterdays news , football is a tough business and have made my decision to move on .

Hi slugger, i am like you mate. You dont have to like the boss but, if you dont support him soon there will be nothing left to boss. I think 99% of SAINTS can see that , but do you think after all NIGEL has done for our club he has been treated in a decent manner???. By this i mean have i missed a public announcement saying . Southampton football club today have dispenced of the services of MR ADKINS. Everybody at the club would like to thank Nigel for all the effort he has put into to club over the last two and a half years. We would also like to wish him every success in his next appointment in the near future. Or somthng on those lines instead of just plunging a efing great knife in his back???.
I will still support the club100% but that dont mean i like or think the little Italian runt can do no wrong.

Nicola Cortese gets everything right does he?

What about the appointment of Alan Pardew?

If he had to sack him after little over a year - and our results in League One over 2009/10 weren't up to his expectations - Cortese clearly made a mistake with that appointment.

Another way of looking at it is this ........ Nicola made a mistake with Pardew (in your opinion) ...... He had the balls to correct the alledged mistake pretty smartish .

exactly my point slugger, he has always done what he thinks is right for the club. The most important thing we must remember is if he goes the money goes to

That attitude allowed jimmy saville to abuse kids all those years in the hospitals. Schwi can f11ck off and take his money with him, I for 1 want my club back.
A lot on here have very short memories, we had an egomaniac chairman before and look where that got us, are we really that desperate that we allow this little foreigner drag our good name and reputation into the gutter, alienate our previous hero's and generally treat every one he comes into contact with with such
contempt?
Loyalty is earnt, what kind of impression is this leaving on the youngsters coming thru the ranks? And some questioned the loyalty of chamberlain! F4ckin amazing

Have you paid up your bet yet ghk?...some proof would be good. Cheers.

Have mentioned earlier, receipt will be behind bar of pub of choice. Very hollow win I feel but bets a bet, i wasn't far out and my opinion of cortese and reason to doubt him i feel has been proved right.
Support the club bb and I respect that but don't forget what Lowe did, schwi is the same

Thanks. I will be having a beer in the Joshua Tree after the game on Monday.
Yes...a hollow win...but a bet's a bet.
Also...probably not the best idea to slate our ownership quite to the extent you do (unless you have a better backer waiting in the wings). It can be taken as trying to undermine what us Saints fans are actually best at...supporting Southampton Football Club!

Ostriches!
I repeat the history lesson, ferguson, moyles and wenger equals longevity in premiership.
Lowe and Cortese interfering dictators equals disaster. Here endeth the lesson. Back cortese and you will also bring the club back down to it's knees.

I think he will be England manager one day but he will need to show now he handles failure well,as well as success. Above all, what his sacking shows is that football clubs do not belong to the supporters, as we like to claim. We have little power to influence key decisions. For example, are we happy with the current predominatly red shirts? I suspect not in most cases. Were we consulted, no!. Adkins made some strange decisions like the untimely substitution of Lambert and Puncheon in two home games, which cost us a victory, but like everyone with genuine passion and skill for their job, he deserved to stay. The old expression what goes around comes around is true, and Mr Cortese will have his day too!

Very true... no doubt we (as fans) will outlast the lot of em.

Football has gone much beyond being the "funny old game". It has become dog eat dog....no sentiments....sh1t or bust.

I just hope that we don't go down the road of Blackburn/Chelsea where fans turn up to boo their team and manager.

It's about enjoyment...and I get enjoyment from supporting my Club. Always will do.

If there is a change of manager on the horizon at least get someone who is proven at the top level and not a foreigner no one has heard off.
---------

Interesting that at that point there was no statement that NA must not go, just concern about who would replace him. No deep principle, just a normal, straightforward comment. I only noticed it because I'd never seen the poster's name before.

I mention it just because we seem to be hearing from plenty of people who didn't give a toss about NA (even some who wanted him to go, even some who wanted him to go last season for being tactically naive) but who are now ready to bomb the management suite at St Mary's over NA's departure. No names, no pack drill but there's a lot of it about.

I stress, I hate the fact that Nigel's gone: he was a breath of fresh air in a dirty industry. I suspect he'll end up proving to be a great manager. I took a great deal of slating for supporting him through thick and thin. But he's gone. All that's consistent in this is the *team* and they will have my unconditional support on Monday (and for all games).

The hypocrisy and amateur dramatics on here from some posters is a bit overwhelming.

So you work at the echo with your knowledge about when people put comments on here,no suprise there with the attitude you show to people which i find rather sad.

No he's the forum police, but he has a selective memory, depends whose ar5e he has his tongue up!

The fear was starting to grow with Cortese that he had a very good manager under him - but there is something non-football going on here!! The longer he left it the higher up the table Saints would be - Cortese didn't want that.

Cortese is about himself - his ego in achieving something - Southampton FC is just a product. he will think he's doing it for the club but he is doing it for himself.

I like one or two others on here are toiling with the decision to go on Monday. Being there makes me feel party to everything and the force behind the blade in his back. But I will always be a Saint - what a conundrum - I have a 40 mile each way trip to each match - kind hope the snow keeps falling and makes the decision for me!!

Go!
Support our team.
Thats what we do,lets show our appreciation of Nigel,show our discust at the way he was deposed, then move on.
The players need our possitivity.

Did you see that?

There's little bit of Nigel left in all of us.

Nice one - I'll be there!

Enjoy the game and support the dictator and the way the club is heading.

Will do! COYR :O)

If there is a change of manager on the horizon at least get someone who is proven at the top level and not a foreigner no one has heard off.

Interesting that at that point there was no statement that NA must not go, just concern about who would replace him. No deep principle, just a normal, straightforward comment. I only noticed it because I'd never seen the poster's name before.

I mention it just because we seem to be hearing from plenty of people who didn't give a toss about NA (even some who wanted him to go, even some who wanted him to go last season for being tactically naive) but who are now ready to bomb the management suite at St Mary's over NA's departure. No names, no pack drill but there's a lot of it about.

I stress, I hate the fact that Nigel's gone: he was a breath of fresh air in a dirty industry. I suspect he'll end up proving to be a great manager. I took a great deal of slating for supporting him through thick and thin. But he's gone. All that's consistent in this is the *team* and they will have my unconditional support on Monday (and for all games).

He has no respect for others, he didn't even have the guts to attend the press conference, heralding the new manager.
No doubt he has done a confidentiality deal with Nigel like he did with AP preventing Nigel from spilling the beans on what an out and out shyster NC is.
I hope Nigel takes him to the cleaners.
If they made a Godfather 4, NC could walk in to the part of Michael Corleone play himself and get an Oscar!
Men like LMcM, Fergie, LeTiss, who know the game inside out, know what they are talking about, as do 95% of Saints fans.
Saints may be successful under NC but at what price? --- he has blackened the name of a great club, dragging it through his own personal cesspit.
Respect and loyalty has been earned by the likes of LMcM, Fergie, LeTiss and Nigel Adkins, the latter an example to all, of honesty, modesty, experience
and skill -- a genuine good bloke and a successful manager -- a rare combination -- who Saints fans would have been proud to have at the helm for years to come.
I wish Nigel all the success in the world, I will follow his fortunes avidly as no doubt the supporters of SUFC have done since he left them.
I hope Cortese reaps what he sows.
I expect Terry Paine to resign his position as Honorary President in protest, if he doesn't he will be seen as supporting and condoning a shyster and Terry's own great reputation, certainly among the Saints supporters who cheered him on in his heyday at the Dell, will be eroded bit by bit until it no longer exists.

..... NC was defo right about Pardew, but even if it proves not to be devastating to the club appointing Pocy, for me my support will always feel a bit tainted now while we still have NC........ of course I want us to be successful, but doing things in the right way makes you enjoy the success that much more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....................

....
as for NA being linked to Blackpool I feel embarrassed that's he's been linked with them...........he should be well out their league..............

....and finally we have to remember it's us the supporters that own the club..........people coming in with the money are just the custodians for a while...............

.....we are the football club and people on the board and NC must remember what we think and what we care about really does matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I don't work at the Echo - I just know how to use Google.

Anyway, I was only using you as an example of someone who posted one thing before NA went and have become a fervent supporter of his overnight.

There are dozens like you; as I say, you're only an example to highlight the hysteria.

TOGETHER AS ONE!!! RED ARRMY..!

Ooh, a little red army came over me all of a sudden..

The way this business has been conducted disgusts me and im more angry now than yesterday.
Even the more critical of NA like myself have been won over by him over the last ten or so games so knowing what was going on behind his back has done it for me.
I know fans will all have different opinions but to blindly follow the club whatever happens is not for me.

I agree. Following a club is not about winning it's about feeling a connection with the team, with the players, the manager, the chairman... it is important to know that certain things are respected and sacking NA in this way shows that Cortese doesn't give 2 sh1ts about the fans and that he is recklessly gambling our future as a club.
The gamble may work, yes, but the reputation of out club will forever be damaged.
