    And so more of cortese's underhand dealings is exposed. I watched Nigel's interview after the Chelsea game, and it was obvious he realised what was going on behind his back. Seed house has intimated this on several occasions in his posts this season. Sad, underhanded, and no way to run a business. And by the way, I am speaking as someone who runs a business employing 13 people. Many of them have been with me for a very long time, and that is because they trust me. I wonder if Cortese is now trusted by those he employs.
    Well I've had a few bosses and have always found the best ones to be those willing to listen and actually understand that people can have opinions. They may not always be right but a working relationship can still be carried on in such circumstances. If I valued my job I don't think I would be having too many disagreements with Mr. Cortese. Just the one would probably be enough!! Anyway let's hope he carries on being right all the time.
    Only time will tell if this decision is right. My main issue is the way it has been executed, and the reasoning behind it. Time will be the judge.

    To quote that American dude on Ripper Street, like. Is anyone watching that? It's fcuking AMAZING. I'll be honest: I'd dismissed Jerome Flynn as nothing but a moon-faced granny-crooner, but he is a revelation in it. It's done for him what Pulp Fiction did for John Travolta.
    Too true, and IMO Robson Greene is great in Extreme Fishing. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly shows him in a better light.

    You can almost forgive them for the travesty that was Unchained Melody."

Forren: I didn't speak to Adkins over Saints move

VEGARD FORREN VEGARD FORREN

VEGARD Forren admits he never spoke to Nigel Adkins about joining Saints.

The Norwegian international centre half was officially unveiled as a Saints player just hours after Adkins was sacked on Friday, January 18.

But negotiations to sign the player had been ongoing for days, with Forren in the crowd at Stamford Bridge when Saints drew with Chelsea two days earlier.

"I never spoke to Nigel," said Forren.

"I knew that there was a change and that the new manager wanted me here.

“For me it was never a problem, I was happy to be here and have an opportunity to play for Southampton."

The Premier League is very popular in Norway but Forren is not worried about upsetting people back home if Saints pull off an upset at Old Trafford tomorrow.

"All of my friends and family in Norway are happy for me to be in the Premier League, everyone loves the Premier League in Norway," he said.

"Of course I have some friends who are United fans but if I do well and we get the three points they will be okay."

With Jose Fonte still missing through injury and Forren settled into the Saints squad following a training trip to Barcelona the 24-year-old looks set to make his debut against United.
