Who is Wander? Why is he taking so long to get them in?

This was and is all abit obvious things dont happen over night im sure MP and NC spoke weeks before he became manager and spoke about signings as time is limited! If anything that is a good move plan ahead always helps.

Indeed. And that's the worry.

We outbid Liverpool for Coutinho and presumably at least matched their wage offer. MP has recently worked with him but he turned us down and Inter had to sell him for less money which sort of flies in the face of the reason for appointing MP.

Has he actually signed for them yet? Some strange things can happen in transfer windows.

Or Seed you can look at it like we beat them to the signings of Gaston and Forren so we felt obliged to let them have at least 1 player we wanted. If i'm honest I don't blame anyone who chooses Liverpool over us but in the next few years the way things are going that most certainly will change

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.

More intelligence from the clan. Not claiming to be anything but a small business owner who knows the value of decency.
I realise that that diss bars me from being a "true" saints fan by many on here, but some intelligence in responses wouldn't go amiss.

Wander who does the deals

I think it depends whose signing they are. I think when they were clearly Nigel's call (Jay, Fox, Forte etc) Nigel almost certainly got involved as he knew the players personally.

When they're players identified by our scouting network (as Vegs clearly was) then it'll be someone else. And no, I doubt it was Nicola, either. We have a team of people paid to do this stuff.

Yes and look just how S H I T Adkins signings was, the are C R A P! Good job cortese got involved,

I've been trying to get into the business for a while myself without success. I was hoping to be appointed editor of the Big Issue when I told the proprietor at my interview that I thought we could create 250,000 more Big Issue selling jobs for the unemployed if lots and lots of big tits were put in it. But it wasn't to be and of course it's still as boring as ever.

The Echo also turned down my submitted article revealing the true reason why Nigel was sacked. I had two separate sources confirming my story that whilst Nicola was happy with all the footballing matters he was disturbed to hear that at breakfast time Nigel was often seen having quite long conversations with his Rice Crispies.

By the way, I don't want to upset any of my mates on here so if you see an advert in the Sex Phoneline classified ad column of the Daily Star under the banner "Listen to me moan! - £1.20 per min", please ignore it. It's just a recording of my missus **** about me leaving coffee cups around the house and not wiping my feet properly when I come into house.

You seem determined to knock Nicola and that's fair enough - I'm sure he can handle it. But running a small business from some railway arch in South London is a very different kettle of fish to running a Premier League football club with aspirations to become Top 6. Sometimes you have to take tough decisions.

Neither you or I know much detail about exactly how Nigel was treated, so all we can really judge this decision on is its effectiveness. And on that score, we'll see...

Almost a good post. But something tells me that that you are better than "running a small business from a railway arch". Why does the need to be offensive so prevalent on here. It's normally used in place of a reasoned response. As I said, I think you are probably better than that. In any case good business practice applies whatever the size of business.

Perhaps a rival issue would be on the cards. It could be called the Big Titsue. I'm pretty sure some topless babes on the street alongside the Big Issue sellers would be a much bigger seller.

Actually, in the absence of parallel worlds in which NA and MP could manage the team, we will never know whether the outcome would be better or worse. Time will only tell what MP achieves.

I've been to Bermondsey and in my experience 90% of businesses were print finishing companies operating from beneath the railway lines that speed commuters to the Kent countryside.

Neither you or I know much detail about exactly how Nigel was treated, so all we can really judge this decision on is its effectiveness. And on that score, we'll see...

Almost a good post. But something tells me that that you are better than "running a small business from a railway arch". Why does the need to be offensive so prevalent on here. It's normally used in place of a reasoned response. As I said, I think you are probably better than that. In any case good business practice applies whatever the size of business.

But then, Bermondsey, you did rather suggest that he (and others) lack intelligence! Don't you think that could be taken as offensive?

I think your typing is coming on so well three halves you are starting to put capital letters in the correct place as well.

Congratulations

I've been to Bermondsey and in my experience 90% of businesses were print finishing companies operating from beneath the railway lines that speed commuters to the Kent countryside.

The trouble with assumptions is that they can make an **** of u. I grew up in Bermondsey. Moved to Southampton 25 years ago, and my business is based in Alton. A bit of a narrow view of Bermondsey if you don't mind me saying so. But I am getting used to some very narrow views on here.

Actually, in the absence of parallel worlds in which NA and MP could manage the team, we will never know whether the outcome would be better or worse. Time will only tell what MP achieves.

Actually, that's a very good point. I bet you're a big fan of The Unbearable Lightness Of Being.

Perhaps a rival issue would be on the cards. It could be called the Big Titsue. I'm pretty sure some topless babes on the street alongside the Big Issue sellers would be a much bigger seller.

Would have been a good idea, but all those 'babes' you mention have been snapped up by NC as programme sellers.

Once again, NC - barsteward that he may be to some - is ahead of tha game.

May I but in? Bermondsey, I see your point. I believe that every business should try to implement good business practice and that includes treating your staff fairly.

I'm a Nigel fan and always will be. His achievement and the way he conducted himself will never be lost on me.

That's now gone and, as has been said time and time again on here, Nigel will be fine. He's moved on, now we have to.

My concerns are twofold:
1. The way it appears to have been handled - most of that 'appears' bit is because we don't know all the details and the Sky interview failed to ask any searching questions.
2. With NA, given the squad as it was, I think we would have been fine this season. That position has shifted, so we're now sailing in uncertain waters. MP may be the greatest thing since sliced bread; I hope so. However, I will reserve my judgement on that - BUT ...... I will be 100% behind him, just as I will be with NC and just as I was with Nigel.

Come on board, it's a great ride!

I agree with Strass, Bermondsey and Three Halves.

Many are saying that Nigel was right to get us to the premier league but not beyond so here's a different senario.

Cortese appoints Nigel with the specific brief to get us up. On completion of that task, just after the end of last season, the two men appear together shaking hands and wishing each other well. Nigel goes off with his nice bonus to seek new employment. Cortese brings in his new 'premier league man' who has the whole of pre season and the transfer window to get his squad ready for the big push. Nigel is welcome back at SMS at any time.

When we appointed Scunny's physio he was never going to have the contacts that other more high profile managers like say a Pardew would have.

Cortese has surrounded himself with yes men and no one stands up to him or questions him - if they do they're gone. We will alienate ourselves in the football world if we are not careful. And to those who say 'I dont care, neh neh ne neeh neh' Alienate = other clubs and more importantly their managers for loans, agents for signings, players coming here etc.

It's not difficult, keep the vision going, drive forward but change the bloody style.

Do you really honestly think that Ramirez had an offer from liverpool, but rejected the chance to join 2 compatriots and a large contingent of young spanish speaking players to join Saints (a team that by his own admission he didn't know much about)?

Hundreds of players every year are speculatively linked by the tabloids to clubs like Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea etc... mostly without any substance.”


I'm afraid I don't I was merely stating that Liverpool were linked with both of the 2 players I have mentioned and both ended up signing for us.

Yes, it is a shame that more are not making the effort, but it is expensive and a long way away, you are probably one of the lucky Portsmouth supporters with lots of money to travel the length and breadth of country with the best of the bestest fans, it is sad that fate has dealt you such a rotten hand that most of your journeys have been fruitless, fear not after tomorrow things will get better I promise you. Keep the faith.

Do you really honestly think that Ramirez had an offer from liverpool, but rejected the chance to join 2 compatriots and a large contingent of young spanish speaking players to join Saints (a team that by his own admission he didn't know much about)?

Hundreds of players every year are speculatively linked by the tabloids to clubs like Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea etc... mostly without any substance.

Now, now Seed, it is a stressful time, let's be real Saintly for once.

I'm sorry it's just so hard. As a kid I always dreamed of playing against county at home in front of 7000 - well in the first half - and what do we get? Bloody Manchester United away in front of 50,000. Pissesme right off I can tell you.

And i wanted scales and fins....

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.

..and time is a great healer.

"No man's heart aches forever."

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.

Serves you right. I gave up oral sex when my Auntie Elspeth gave me a very nice embroidery for my bedroom wall with the words "You are what you eat" woven on it.

At first I used to turn the light out because it put me off my gobbling stroke when I kept casting my eye up and saw it, but even then, you know, I sort of had it still stuck in my mind and couldn't concentrate.

The missus started to complain about my flawed technique, but then I got myself off the hook forever by getting a Chinese doctor I know to give me a made up diagnosis stating that pubic hairs, which commonly contain C10 dioxatonemolodanide monothalate, give certain people such as me ulcers on the tongue.

Anyway, I hope this is helpful - but if you do not agree with Auntie Elspeth's embroidered statement, make sure you forget about this post and put it right out of your mind the next time you are in the muff.

Andrea Ramazzotti, who covers Inter for Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport and has watched all Coutinho's 28 games for the club, told BBC Sport: "He just didn't show his potential in Milan. Coutinho played very well when he was on loan at Espanyol last season, and started well for Inter this season, but they were only brief spells really.

"For the rest of the time he just showed flashes of his potential and I fear the way of playing in England, which can be very physical, will not suit him, because he has a slight frame."

Sounds like another JRod

Yes, let's. By all accounts the Wigan stadium is at some horrible out-of-town retail park or something but there has to be a pub nearby.

Nice to see you back. I just love to see what jealousy and anger can do to a person. I suppose we would feel pretty sick if our club was falling apart and yours was flourishing. So I'll just sign off now, go and have a little nap, and dream of the £200million that now seperates our 2 clubs. So keep dreaming of your distant past. We're playing Man U this week by the way.

there may be trophies ahead but while theres pompey, and ponies and carrotts and grass lets just turn up and be pants its gonna be a classic

Ha ha very droll. I am off for some retail therapy, keep it going until I come back.

With your business doing so well five bellies perhaps you can know pledge your donation to the PST, 2000 pledges so far and only half have been actually converted, how many loyal fans did you say you had? Do you know what the current market value of your...well for argument sake lets call it a stadium, is worth? Any idea,s of what the club may be named when you become a legacy club, maybe your friends here have some suggestions for you to ponder. Anyone care to give it bash? Tell you what, best name wins a trophy. Does anyone know anyone with a trophy for sell that need a bit of cash in a hurry? competition ends on Jan 31, sorry its so short but some fat skate called Westwood said he would like to know soon so he can book an appointment at 'no hopers' tattoo parlour in saffsee, and contact deed poll again. My choice is: skunt town fc

the hampshire trophy collectors fc

Ok tell you what don't bother answering the questions, I was being flippant anyway and I wouldn't expect you to be able to answer them. Thanks for the name entry, I'll add it to the list, although I think mines is better, but then I would, I do think yours reminds me of a club for sadistic aerial killers in the south of England but that may have been intentional? I don't know, I'll drop the 'the' though.

Anyone else?

Andrea Ramazzotti, who covers Inter for Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport and has watched all Coutinho's 28 games for the club, told BBC Sport: "He just didn't show his potential in Milan. Coutinho played very well when he was on loan at Espanyol last season, and started well for Inter this season, but they were only brief spells really.

"For the rest of the time he just showed flashes of his potential and I fear the way of playing in England, which can be very physical, will not suit him, because he has a slight frame."

Sounds like another JRod

Correct.

I know people are getting very protective of Cortese of late and I understand that, but, at the beginning of this window I think everyone appreciated that we needed to strengthen the defence and keeping position (about 75% said so in the Echo poll).

Add to that the 95% of us that thought Nigel was unfairly treated and you have to assume NC is either a mad genius or just plain blinkered.

I think about 8% of us said midfield/winger area needed strengthening in that poll, so why is everyone we are linked to either an attacking midfielder or a striker?

Echoes of the summer. Let's hope NC really is a tactical genius rather than just a good businessman, because what he's been doing kind of flies in the face of logic to most of us and most on-lookers.

Team will get 100% full support from me though, no matter what. COYR.

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.

Man, I had no idea Donald Trump was a Saints fan. It's a pleasure to have you on board.

More intelligence from the clan. Not claiming to be anything but a small business owner who knows the value of decency.
I realise that that diss bars me from being a "true" saints fan by many on here, but some intelligence in responses wouldn't go amiss.

Look, the fact Nigel seemed to know what was going on and that this didn't come as a massive surprise to him suggests he wasn't being kept in the dark, doesn't it?

You seem determined to knock Nicola and that's fair enough - I'm sure he can handle it. But running a small business from some railway arch in South London is a very different kettle of fish to running a Premier League football club with aspirations to become Top 6. Sometimes you have to take tough decisions.

Neither you or I know much detail about exactly how Nigel was treated, so all we can really judge this decision on is its effectiveness. And on that score, we'll see...

Almost a good post. But something tells me that that you are better than "running a small business from a railway arch". Why does the need to be offensive so prevalent on here. It's normally used in place of a reasoned response. As I said, I think you are probably better than that. In any case good business practice applies whatever the size of business.

But then, Bermondsey, you did rather suggest that he (and others) lack intelligence! Don't you think that could be taken as offensive?

May I but in? Bermondsey, I see your point. I believe that every business should try to implement good business practice and that includes treating your staff fairly.

I'm a Nigel fan and always will be. His achievement and the way he conducted himself will never be lost on me.

That's now gone and, as has been said time and time again on here, Nigel will be fine. He's moved on, now we have to.

My concerns are twofold:
1. The way it appears to have been handled - most of that 'appears' bit is because we don't know all the details and the Sky interview failed to ask any searching questions.
2. With NA, given the squad as it was, I think we would have been fine this season. That position has shifted, so we're now sailing in uncertain waters. MP may be the greatest thing since sliced bread; I hope so. However, I will reserve my judgement on that - BUT ...... I will be 100% behind him, just as I will be with NC and just as I was with Nigel.

Come on board, it's a great ride!

I agree with Strass, Bermondsey and Three Halves.

Many are saying that Nigel was right to get us to the premier league but not beyond so here's a different senario.

Cortese appoints Nigel with the specific brief to get us up. On completion of that task, just after the end of last season, the two men appear together shaking hands and wishing each other well. Nigel goes off with his nice bonus to seek new employment. Cortese brings in his new 'premier league man' who has the whole of pre season and the transfer window to get his squad ready for the big push. Nigel is welcome back at SMS at any time.

When we appointed Scunny's physio he was never going to have the contacts that other more high profile managers like say a Pardew would have.

Cortese has surrounded himself with yes men and no one stands up to him or questions him - if they do they're gone. We will alienate ourselves in the football world if we are not careful. And to those who say 'I dont care, neh neh ne neeh neh' Alienate = other clubs and more importantly their managers for loans, agents for signings, players coming here etc.

It's not difficult, keep the vision going, drive forward but change the bloody style.

Thumbs up for that one. It is time for change, and if the present Government plans are fulfilled the whole of the Football League are going to have to change too along with the methods of the big money Clubs, there may be better opportunities for us but we have to get it right.

Clyne
Hoovield
Yashida
Fox

Spider
Cork
Ramirez
Puncheon

J Rod
Lambert

Bench: Gazzaniga, Shaw, Davis, Ward-Prowse, Lalana (if fit), Fodden, Lee

The game against United will be interesting to see who MP starts with bearing in mind the recent training in Barcelona. We know Guly isn't fit. Lallana has to be doubtful.

Fox at left back. Mmmmmm, brave man.

Not sure I'd be resting anyone for this game. Only changes for me would be to bring Forren in for Jos and J Rod in for the injured Guly. Will be interesting though as there is an argument for Ward-Prowse for Guly to close up the midfield and play one up front.

Lallana for last 15 minutes just to give him game time.

Nice to see you back. I just love to see what jealousy and anger can do to a person. I suppose we would feel pretty sick if our club was falling apart and yours was flourishing. So I'll just sign off now, go and have a little nap, and dream of the £200million that now seperates our 2 clubs. So keep dreaming of your distant past. We're playing Man U this week by the way.

there may be trophies ahead but while theres pompey, and ponies and carrotts and grass lets just turn up and be pants its gonna be a classic

Ha ha very droll. I am off for some retail therapy, keep it going until I come back.

With your business doing so well five bellies perhaps you can know pledge your donation to the PST, 2000 pledges so far and only half have been actually converted, how many loyal fans did you say you had? Do you know what the current market value of your...well for argument sake lets call it a stadium, is worth? Any idea,s of what the club may be named when you become a legacy club, maybe your friends here have some suggestions for you to ponder. Anyone care to give it bash? Tell you what, best name wins a trophy. Does anyone know anyone with a trophy for sell that need a bit of cash in a hurry? competition ends on Jan 31, sorry its so short but some fat skate called Westwood said he would like to know soon so he can book an appointment at 'no hopers' tattoo parlour in saffsee, and contact deed poll again. My choice is: skunt town fc

the hampshire trophy collectors fc

Ok tell you what don't bother answering the questions, I was being flippant anyway and I wouldn't expect you to be able to answer them. Thanks for the name entry, I'll add it to the list, although I think mines is better, but then I would, I do think yours reminds me of a club for sadistic aerial killers in the south of England but that may have been intentional? I don't know, I'll drop the 'the' though.

Anyone else?

Like yours, but it needs that little extra..
Skunt (Hampshire Inbreds) Town FC

That way they can have this under their badge

'I knew that there was a managerial change and the new manager wanted me here'. Sounds a bit like he didn't speak to MP either.

This was and is all abit obvious things dont happen over night im sure MP and NC spoke weeks before he became manager and spoke about signings as time is limited! If anything that is a good move plan ahead always helps.

Indeed. And that's the worry.

We outbid Liverpool for Coutinho and presumably at least matched their wage offer. MP has recently worked with him but he turned us down and Inter had to sell him for less money which sort of flies in the face of the reason for appointing MP.
