Saints still paying Adkins

NIGEL ADKINS NIGEL ADKINS

Nigel Adkins is using the League Managers Association’s legal team to try and settle his outstanding issues with Saints.

The former St Mary’s boss was sacked by executive chairman Nicola Cortese on January 18 and replaced by Mauricio Pochettino.

It is understood that Saints have placed Adkins on gardening leave. The club are still paying him his regular salary rather than immediately settling his contract, which had more than two years still to run.

Adkins has asked the LMA’s legal experts to try and help him remedy the situation as soon as possible so he can move on.

Under the regular terms of gardening leave, a person usually waives the right to have any further compensation if they take another job.

Adkins has been linked with jobs at the likes of Blackpool, Huddersfield and Swindon since leaving Saints – but potentially faced walking away from his Saints pay-off should he have taken one.

There is every chance he may not have considered those roles anyway.

But that might not be the case with Leeds United who are understood to be keen to sound him out as a possible replacement for Neil Warnock, who has indicated he could leave in the summer.

It is understood that since his dismissal Adkins, who led Saints to back-to-back promotions to the Premier League, has taken a holiday but is still living in the area, albeit keeping a very low profile.

He is sure to be a much-in-demand man for clubs with a managerial vacancy to fill.

His record both with Saints and Scunthorpe shows the ability to get clubs promoted – last season he collected his fourth Football League promotion in six seasons as a manager.

And after the impact he was starting to have on Saints in the top flight before he was sensationally axed, he could even potentially land a Premier League job.

However, first on the agenda is to get a settlement with Saints so he can move on.

Saints did not respond to a request for a comment.

This was reported in the national press at the weekend and was surprised it took so long to get a write-up by the Echo. I wonder what spin the Echo will put on this story, with them trying to get back into the St. Mary's good books... Only time will tell. But they should pay up in full instead of dragging it out.

Interesting. I believe Di Matteo has a similar agreement with Chelsea. It works in favour of an out going manager if he has performed badly and clubs aren't interested in employing him, or he isn't interested in being employed. But against him, if like Nigel, the manager has been successful and wants to be employed reasonably quickly.
You get sacked, get a quick job offer but have to give up your garden leave pay. So in effect you forsake any severance pay. In this case it works well for club who fire you. They get away with it cheaply.
My guess is the LMA would argue that Nigel is being restrained from applying for jobs by golden handcuffs which stop him being employed for the next two years; which will in turn harm his chances of being employed after that time because he hasn't practiced his profession. So they will seek a compromise agreement with SFC. Say pay him half of the remainder of his contract and and let him seek further employment.

We shall see. More likely we won't because it will be shrouded in secrecy.

Cortese is not a nice person. He fires Adkins and then won't pay up his contract. He knows that legally he will have to settle, but is hoping that by stringing it out, Adkins will have to forgo the money in order to get another job. Cortese already has plenty of previous in playing around with people's lives in order to save a few quid. Wealth and business cunning - maybe. Morals, ethics and class? Not for me. It feels to me like cancer is beginning to grow at the heart of Southampton FC.

This is all pretty normal in this situatiuon. I think he's having a well deserved rest after having been treated pretty shabbily. He has signed a contract and if he's getting paid he doesn't really have grounds for complaint. Should he decide to take another position and get a good contract then it's good news all round. Leeds would be great for him. Another big club where he will only enhance his reputation.

Hopefully for him it won't be a court date similar to the Skunts. It'll be put back so often his contract wll have expired time he gets into court.

He will probably get lower wages at another job, so deserves some compensation for this, though probably not the contract paid up in full. Even though many will think he has earned it with what he has done for us. He will want this settled sooner rather than later. No doubt a compromise will be reached so that he gets some money to make up for what he has lost.

So if you were owed the balance of a contract after being unfairly dismissed, and then had the choice of either not being able to get another job or forgo your rightful contract compensation, you'd be ok with that? If you're not working, you're career is going backwards. No one is more likely to employ someone who's been out of work - ask someone on the dole.
This is normal behaviour for Cortese, and I just don't get why people are continuing to ignore his behaviour.

I think it will be sorted out in the summer when we are not in a relegation battle and a club that genuinely want Nigel can contribute towards the situation finacially

Legally NA is under contract... end of

Say his contract is worth 600k-1m is that money that the Liebhers would like to see given to someone? Not the best way to run a business. As a fan i would prefer to see this money invested in the club

What I would expect to see is a compromise with the club Adkins goes to, where the cost of terminating Nigels contract is as close to cost nutral as possible.

If he had decided to leave saints for a bigger club the club would have recieved a fee. Whoever he goes to will get a bargin anyway.

I know there has been talk of Leeds but I can genuinely see West Ham being a good fit for him. How would fans feel about Cortese if he paid Nigel 1m to go to West Ham

Off topic but even though we lost against QPR still in the same position with no teams taking advantage. Just hope all concerned don't get complacent and rely on that week in and week out?
Well done to the future teams showing real quality at U18 & U21 level.
Back on topic Adkins can have a nice rest for the next 2-years until the right club comes calling thanks to SFC. No worries Nige chill out man and spend some quality time with the missus!

Way too cold to do gardening at this time of the year.

When you consider NA's track record, it is staggering that NC sacked him. Even more staggering, he replaced him with a manager with a mediocre track record who can’t communicate in English. A manager with little or no knowledge of the English game. This fixation that foreign must be better could well come back to haunt NC come May. Meanwhile, Nigel Adkins deserves a full pay-out from SFC, he was brilliant for us. He has a very bright future, some club will be fortunate to get him on board.

The fact is Cortese deliberately waited until the end of January to suspend Adkins. This would then shaft Adkins trying to get another job as the gardening leave period of six months would head right into June.

No British manager will ever work at Saints now whilst Cortese is chairman.

Obviously it's not ideal for Nigel. But do you really think his career will go backwards if he is out of work for a while? I don't think so. With his record he will be on the radar of virtually every big C/hip club and he will also be able to demand a very healthy contract. However, if MoPo fails us it might be a very good idea to have Super Nige on the subs bench to make a stunning comeback next season. You never know in football!!

When the Swiss/German owners discover the strengh of supporters' feeling about the sacking of Adkins, and the footballing mistke it turned out to be, they may well offer him his job back. And so they should, if decency prevails.

I agree with you. But you do have to consider NC is foreign. As are many other CEO/club owners. We are merely emotional shareholders with no vote, not financial shareholders. And they call the shots! Not the customers/fans.

Of course Nigel did a terrific job for us. But should the club now pay him more than it is contractually obliged to do?

Most of us feel an emotional attachment to Nigel. We liked him and he delivered great results. His sacking was painful.

But it wasn't a one way deal. Southampton was very good for Nigel too. When he moved from a lowly and threadbare Scunthorpe many of us, including me, were surprised and disappointed that a bigger name and more experienced manager had not been appointed to succeed Pardew. Nigel joined a big club in the third tier with the financial backing and the infrastructure clearly in place to move up. It was a fantastic opportunity for him.

Of course he grabbed the chance and made a name for himself and raised his stature in the football world tenfold - from relative obscurity to relative fame.

And today, as a direct result, he's being linked with other big clubs such as Leeds and will no doubt land a good job with one of them. His future looks bright and certainly a lot brighter than it did at Scunthorpe three years ago.

But for Nicola and but for Southampton, I doubt he would be in the same position now.

Nigel's being paid according to his contract and if he lands that other well paid job there will no doubt be a negotiation to settle his Saints deal. Either way he'll be on top pay throughout - and no doubt a pay level which is many times more than he had 3 years ago.

The club owes Nigel for three great years of success. But Nigel owes the club for taking him from obscurity and providing the platform for that success and for giving him the opportunities and financial rewards that he now has in prospect. And by the way, Nigel got out with his reputation intact for the future. It might not have been that way had he stayed. His salary now is entirely risk-free.

I wish Nigel well, I really do. But I'm not unhappy about the club dealing with this matter in a businesslike way and I do not want to see the club giving precious resources away that it doesn't need to.

Sadly Lone Ranger, there are plenty that do believe everythng the read in the likes of the Daily Fail and local rags like this one. Then to add to the feeling that some people live in a parallel universe where no nothings rule the roost, they make up their own version of events whilst being in possession of barely 1% of the actual facts.

NC may be great at business, is he a great human or a great public relations expert, Is he vindictive or ambitious to the point he is prepared to diminish others.
Saints had a reputation as being a family club, at present I would suggest NC is doing his best to alienate as much of the fanbase as he can, he's great at doing that.
When the Marcus took the club over he reminded us of our roots, NC is looking forward and has delusions if hethinksthat all will be forgiven with a taste of success.
At this point the honest fan has to ask
Whether he can support a club that has so little moral authority, after all football is wonderfully karmic in it's nature. Katerina liebherr I would hope may be concerned. As she is so young ican not see any restraining influence with an old banker like Cortese.
Concerned sums up my feelings.
Solutions come in unexpected ways sometimes
Let's hope the fates are kind.
Saints forever.

A business like way would have been to have covered this eventuality in the contract - afterall managerial sackings are pretty common in football. Say 6 months severance pay. That would have avoided any unpleasantness and bad publicity which we do seem to get rather a lot off!

Ahh the club are NOT paying him what hes due hence the stand off. Putting someone on gardening leave is just a means to shaft them on paying ANY money owed. Cortese is hoping Adkins resigns on getting a new job and not then having to pay any money hes owed.

What a disgustingly scummy way to treat someone who got us two promotions.

Cortese is a joke.

When he moved from a lowly and threadbare Scunthorpe many of us, including me, were surprised and disappointed that a bigger name and more experienced manager had not been appointed to succeed Pardew. Nigel joined a big club in the third tier with the financial backing and the infrastructure clearly in place to move up. It was a fantastic opportunity for him.

Of course he grabbed the chance and made a name for himself and raised his stature in the football world tenfold - from relative obscurity to relative fame.

And today, as a direct result, he's being linked with other big clubs such as Leeds and will no doubt land a good job with one of them. His future looks bright and certainly a lot brighter than it did at Scunthorpe three years ago.

But for Nicola and but for Southampton, I doubt he would be in the same position now.

Nigel's being paid according to his contract and if he lands that other well paid job there will no doubt be a negotiation to settle his Saints deal. Either way he'll be on top pay throughout - and no doubt a pay level which is many times more than he had 3 years ago.

The club owes Nigel for three great years of success. But Nigel owes the club for taking him from obscurity and providing the platform for that success and for giving him the opportunities and financial rewards that he now has in prospect. And by the way, Nigel got out with his reputation intact for the future. It might not have been that way had he stayed. His salary now is entirely risk-free.

I wish Nigel well, I really do. But I'm not unhappy about the club dealing with this matter in a businesslike way and I do not want to see the club giving precious resources away that it doesn't need to.
Ahh the club are NOT paying him what hes due hence the stand off. Putting someone on gardening leave is just a means to shaft them on paying ANY money owed. Cortese is hoping Adkins resigns on getting a new job and not then having to pay any money hes owed.

What a disgustingly scummy way to treat someone who got us two promotions.

Cortese is a joke.
In your opinion, fair enough.

has anyone told mrsa that most if not all of the fans are backing NA and do not and never will `hate` him! same as they don't hate MLT or FB. ex-players and managers have disputes with clubs and its ok that they do. NA wants a fair pay off and saints/NC doesn`t want to pay out more than he has to. there is nothing wrong about that. MH is going through the same thing with qpr after his sacking.
some have stated that NC is vindictive and is a `cancer` at our club, well if that were anyway near being true then he would have started a smear campaign against MLT, he hasn't in fact he brushed off the MLT affair quite well with a well mannered response.
the days of a football club being like a `family` club are long gone and you can blame who you like for that, sky, owners and players have all come in for criticism over this and all have a part to play. however if you want to support a `family` run club then you should think again about supporting saints. sfc is now run as a business and is run well if you count league position as a factor of success. I know some don't like the way NC runs things, mainly because most things are now kept `in house`, but ask yourself would you rather go back to the days of lowe and the boardroom infighting when everything was in the press? or would you like to have a club like qpr where your manager talks to anyone who will listen about future player purchases, to such an extent that a player turned up at the door inking he was getting a transfer even after his club told him that he wasn't?
NC has got things wrong but then who hasn't? but what he is doing is what he thinks is best for the club!

perhaps keeping NA `on the books` like this is preventing him from joining another prem club this season, we woudnt have wanted NA to turn up at the likes of villa would we?

It's really none of our business, is it? It's a matter between an employer and a previous employee.

However, for what it's worth, it sounds to me as though both parties (and their legal teams) are acting exactly as they should; keeping the matter private by not speaking publically about it and fighting for the best interests of those they represent (NA - himself, NC - the club).

Right, Norwich, decent club, fairly average, time to move above them and head for safety ..... 3pts please.

Just reading through this thread and this Wide Boy Arry character is hilarious. I find it very funny he has named himself after one of the people who has started off his clubs descent into the oblivion they are looking at presently.

With regards to the actual story let's hope this gets sorted sooner rather than later and Nigel gets the money that he quite rightly deserves.

Firstly NC is a great business man and is certainly no mug despite what posters may say on here. He is also great at running our club.

To be successful at those two things you have to have a ruthless streak ... and he has it.
.
Secondly ....... It is normal practice for a player or manager to continue receiving a salary whilst still under contract.......... I knew of two ex players at St Mary's who were paid for two years on this basis. However NA has every right to have his contract settled if it can be agreed.

Thirdly ........ Do you really believe EVERYTHING that you read !!!
Yes we may dislike come, of the things that NC has done. But we all must remember, what he done for the great club. If it was not for NC were would the club be to?.
As for NA how is getting paid as for is contact. Has only just got back from a holiday.

The Poor Nigel and Nasty Nicola brigade are out in full. Nige hasn't been sacked, just stood down. If some other club want him they can pay for the privelege, just like we did, and help negotiate his way out of a contract that he happily signed.

osprey mrsa cant win an argument by using facts and figures so she results in name calling, which is of course the first sign that you have lost an argument.
in yesterdays thread he stated that NC will make the fans `hate` NA, read todays thread and have not seen anyone saying anything anti adkins (don't include fish)! we all saw what mrsa was like when she kept going on about gastons `dead leg`. wild `truths` and accusations are the norm for mrsa, I think he/she revels in arguments often contradicting previous statements. at one point mrsa was saying that NA was out of his depth and not up to the job, now look at the way NC is getting abused for sacking him.
strass, I think mrsa`s continual outbursts against people who prove him/her wrong show an absolute lack of any character, which is a shame because I don't come on here to argue with people. I will however correct what I see to be blatant untruths about my club and its staff and players I will include ex-staff and ex-players in that. I come on here to debate with fellow fans regarding the games and the club, and to have a laugh which reminds me,

What a lot of drivel has appeared here today. The usual wind-up merchants coming are on here too and sound like seven year olds in a school playground.

I think Confucius made the best summary. The whole severance position would have been in the contract, Adkins would have known that. It has nothing to do with how well Adkins did while he was here, it is all to do with what was agreed in the contract. That is how the world works. In the absence of a full explanation from someone who knows what they are talking about we must wait for news after Nigel has completed his legal options. There wont be much of that in the press other trhan speculation.

I do hope that Nigel can get himself a job though and that any obstacles to that are removed. I think we will hear of him again and I think he will rise again ate the right club. We shall see.

To rise above all the sniping and bickering I would just like to clarify some points.

Portsmouth FC are doomed.
They are going to be relegated this season. The club is a going to be stripped down and sold in pieces. Nobody wants to buy it. It may continue to exist in a lower league but as a major club it has no future. It is crystalk clear to everybody that isn't a fan of the club.

No matter how much sniping they fire off each day, they cannot ignore these solemn truths.

Nigel did a great job but couldn't sustain the same rate of success this year. Therefore, just like a sales job if you are consistently not performing and damaging the companies/clubs performance your position is compromised and ultimately terminated with gardening leave being the
compensation.
if you find another job and your gardening leave is still running then you get the best of both worlds.
If you have a clause in your contract stating that if you find another job you will no longer be paid by SFC, then you cant have it all ways.
Simples.
How do we know what NAs performance related contractual obligations were? I think after losing 8 out of the first 10 he was in breach, then NC started looking and this was compounded by some dodgy substitutions and losing from winning positions.
I really appreciate what he did, but why should we pay him for the next 2 years?

Yeah me too! I wouldn't actually do any gardening though.
We had two weeks' worth of gardening leave at my first job, when Santander took over Abbey National and reviewed all the ongoing IT projects.

We still had to turn up to the office each day in case there was any news, but on the whole we spent every day in the pub. Not bad when you consider we worked in Salisbury :-)
It would have been even better if you worked for Sainsburys

I spent my teenage years in Salisbury and, from a drinking perspective, it's like you're doing really hardcore beer training. Like, you go to a pub and it's all 7% real ales which, to a 16-year-old, are disgusting - you can handle about three of them before being sick and falling asleep in the street. But after a couple of years of getting used to that it means that when you're let lose in the real world (where it's not an seen as an open admission of homosexuality to order a pint of 5% lager) everyone thinks you can drink like a god.

Your right the media will play on this and exploit it to sell papers and Nigels integrity is unquestionable.
He would be lying though if he said that some nights when he went to bed he didnt lay there thinking that he may get the push if things didnt improve.
It would be niaive to think your position was safe even though you were 3 points above relegation and lost far more than you had won.

Some headlines that will be appearing on the Snews this week:

GUY'S TEAM TALK
Guy Whittingham states that he will explain to the squad that they play on SATURDAYS and not STATUEDAYS. Hopefully this will improve peformances.

POINTS NOT PEOPLE
The FA felt it necessary to clarify that the figure for the points in the League 1 table should not be confused with attendances at Fratton Park even though the numbers were similar.

PARA'S LINK UP
Next season's sponsors have been unveiled as the Ministry of Defence. It is understood that the new shirts will be fitted with parachute packs to slow down our drop through the leagues.

He will never please all of the people all of the time.
His first responsibility is to the owners who bailed the club out and financed our push into the premiership.
They no longer have Markus' passion for football and Saints FC, they just want a good return for their investment.
Part of that is running a tight ship.
The way that Nicola runs the ship means that there are casualties along the way, but you will still be slapping him on the back if we are top 10 next premiership next year and potentially playing in Europe.. I for one prefer that to playing Hull on a rainy bog of a pitch on a wednesday night.

Here's some facts for you. You contend that our rise to the Prem was a formality cos we spent loads of money (on the last thread). Now you contend that we worship the money he wealds.
Oh it was a formality!
We poured big money into it!

Let's look at that shall we?

08/09 - 11/12

Tranfers in

Leicester £7.5m
Cardiff £7.6m
Ipswich £5.8m
Hull £12m (09/10 - 11/12) or £22m
Saints £5.1m

This doesnt include transfers out. Ox alone wipes this away to show a net profit of £7m.

The facts are that we are now a top flight football team for very little outlay. Not bad business at all!

Perspective!

I know some don't like the way NC runs things, mainly because most things are now kept `in house`, but ask yourself would you rather go back to the days of lowe and the boardroom infighting when everything was in the press? or would you like to have a club like qpr where your manager talks to anyone who will listen about future player purchases, to such an extent that a player turned up at the door inking he was getting a transfer even after his club told him that he wasn't?
NC has got things wrong but then who hasn't? but what he is doing is what he thinks is best for the club!

perhaps keeping NA `on the books` like this is preventing him from joining another prem club this season, we woudnt have wanted NA to turn up at the likes of villa would we?

I do love how certain people on here get themselves into a righteous froth of indignation whenever the DE reports anything that can be taken as a dig at NC.

There's no real meat to this story. NA is being paid according to contract. He's apparently spoken to legal advisers about sorting out a compromise agreement. You know what, that happened to me in my last job and it wasn't reported in the DE. Partly because no-one gives a toss who I am and partly because it wasn't in any way out of the ordinary. That's what happens when you lose your job.

To try to use it as some kind of proof that Cortese is Lucifer is stretching the point a little.

Way too cold to do gardening at this time of the year.

When you consider NA's track record, it is staggering that NC sacked him. Even more staggering, he replaced him with a manager with a mediocre track record who can’t communicate in English. A manager with little or no knowledge of the English game. This fixation that foreign must be better could well come back to haunt NC come May. Meanwhile, Nigel Adkins deserves a full pay-out from SFC, he was brilliant for us. He has a very bright future, some club will be fortunate to get him on board.
Don't agree with this, MP does speak English, you can see him talking to Yoshida, so unless you're going to suggest he speaks Japanese or Maya speaks Spanish, it's clear he does speak English. To be able to speak it confidently infront of cameras which will be seen by almost everyone who follows football in England is a different matter though.
I'd also dispute his mediocre track record, he constantly kept Espanyol up, despite the board selling off his best players every season, and having to rely on youth, who he brought through successfully, unfortunately you can't keep doing this every season.
A manager of little or no knowledge of English football is also questionable, how do you measure knowledge, whilst he's never managed in England, that doesn't mean he's never followed or watched it. It also never stops people coming on here and giving their views on certain players and formations. He does also have international experience as a player.
Not sure where you got that NC is fixated on foreign, two of the three managers appointed by him have been British, he wants to have a large proportion of the team being made up of home-grown players as well, so that has no substance.
I appreciate what Adkins did for us, but nothing is going to bring him back, so we need to focus on going forward. It's Southampton FC we support, not the individuals.

If that's the case, I would suggest that Mr Allen is the sad one responding to a genuine question in such a manner .

I don't think anything will happen with Nige's contract until Saints are safe this season.
.
Only then will the Don agree to let him go to Leeds (strong rumours) and Nige will have to agree to :-
1) take Fox with him.
2) agree NOT to poach any other players for 12-18 months (e.g. Rickie etc.).
.
Think about it Saints fans do we want him to going to another Club NOW and then approaching some of our players NOW (with a view to joining in the summer) BEFORE WE ARE SAFE.
.
This article by the Echo is shameful especially as they spent months and months writing ANTI-Nigel articles (from August to Jan).

NA sorted the contract on day one and it ensured by having Garden leave he was given a guaranteed parachute payment ........... NC is running a business not a bankrupt Kindergarten like Farton park therefore a contract given on behalf of SFC ensures the clubs security particularly if an unsuccessful manger has to go after 6 months .......... NA will via his legal team do a deal when he wants the right job settling for a period of his contract less the time he has taken for Garden leave i.e., 12 months less 3= 9 months payment !

Interesting. I believe Di Matteo has a similar agreement with Chelsea. It works in favour of an out going manager if he has performed badly and clubs aren't interested in employing him, or he isn't interested in being employed. But against him, if like Nigel, the manager has been successful and wants to be employed reasonably quickly.
You get sacked, get a quick job offer but have to give up your garden leave pay. So in effect you forsake any severance pay. In this case it works well for club who fire you. They get away with it cheaply.
My guess is the LMA would argue that Nigel is being restrained from applying for jobs by golden handcuffs which stop him being employed for the next two years; which will in turn harm his chances of being employed after that time because he hasn't practiced his profession. So they will seek a compromise agreement with SFC. Say pay him half of the remainder of his contract and and let him seek further employment.

We shall see. More likely we won't because it will be shrouded in secrecy.
He deserves every penny and more.

So if you were owed the balance of a contract after being unfairly dismissed, and then had the choice of either not being able to get another job or forgo your rightful contract compensation, you'd be ok with that? If you're not working, you're career is going backwards. No one is more likely to employ someone who's been out of work - ask someone on the dole.
This is normal behaviour for Cortese, and I just don't get why people are continuing to ignore his behaviour.
Surely this condition was in the contract and Adkins signed it. Who is more guilty they who write the small print or those that don't read the small print. Surely for a contract of this magnitude, Adkins would have checked it out and was above board with it at the time.

Why should Saints pay him up in full if it was not in the contract?

Maybe not his full contract but surely a Fair settlement with a big fat add on which rewards Adkins for his wonderful unforgettable contribution to the club (including a public "Thank You") which allows Adkins to move on would be best for all concerned.

Maybe that 5 seconds Corese and Adkins did not get on after the sacking (re Cortese interview) will haunt us forever ala the Benali ephisode and the cascade of sh** that followed.

I hope not.

I think it will be The News, they're used to printing headlines about sh1t football matters.

To be fair they don't have any quality football headlines ...........

You'll get used to them Buddy , it's any chink of light(however dim) for the soon to be clubless few.
Yea but surely they have been in the dark so long they have lossed their sight ??????
They deffo have large pupils,that's what living in the past taking mind numbing pills does to a person.

You can worship the "don" with the money if you want. If you had had the conversation I had you would be ashamed of this club as much as i am....
NA is more likely to be sat at home in Compton watching Manure on the box. Using the stain word shows you up in your real colours, what is it like to be as popular as a boff in a bathyscaphe? I repeat I don't believe a word about your "conversation". Prove me wrong.

I do feel for Adkins...I'm quite sure most fans do.

Top flight football is a harsh business...big rewards, big wages...and a here today, gone tomorrow mentality. It's not the best scenario...but that is how it is.

I hope NA gets his just rewards and goes on to be successfull in all he does....I'm sure his income in the meantime is quite acceptable.

Whatever the case....I aint gonna attempt to undermine my Club...those who do should go find another one to undermine imo.

MGRA needs to decide if he is a Saints fan first or a NA fan...if it's the latter, he will probably have a new club to support very soon and he won't be missed on these threads by me tbh.

The real problem is the feeble minded on here are wedded to their "saints" withour regard for that actually is, they would still turn up and watch 11 elephants in red if their hero NC said it was necessary.....they have no idea of tactics, have never managed a team of football players, always think because someone is paid a lot of money "they know what they are doing"... its hilarious...

I need to decide nothing of the kind. I just want the stain that is NC to leave the club. Nigel should be gone, fully paid up and working... he is not because of a breach of contract and trust. The echo print garbage at times and I note they used the word "gardening" leave which some of the muppets on here took to mean he is onto a good thing.

Sorry. mate. I have heard your side and a lot of other sides and it comes across that you are possibly a wind up merchant trying to sell your point of view by making up facts.

There is no evidence that you and Adkins are best Mates and no reason for me to believe it. Why are you trying to bias fans against Cortese and those in charge of the club based on evidence nobody could challenge or reasonbly beilieve except for the ill informed and gullible.

You have posted far better before IMO. Is emotion getting the better of you?

The whole Benali ripped up flooring replaced blinds horlocks has left me a bit sceptical.

That doesn't make any sense at all. At the moment they have to pay what is on his contract, once a clear agreement is reached, NA should be paid off appropriately and can then seek a new position. They do have to pay him something or unfair dismissal will kick in and that could be a lot more expensive in the long run.

no but the directors at a club as they did at portsmouth can set a wage budget the club cant afford and hope they can lend the money off the owners without them making profit .so in the first instance before you blame any owners you have to blame the directors at the club .if they choose to do this to run a club .any blame on any owners is therefore omitted.nothing to do with the fans .but the directors did this and fans knew they were 64 million in debt .no fans protested about the debt then ,so they have no right to complain now really .was it worth it .most dont think so

The echo print garbage at times and I note they used the word "gardening" leave which some of the muppets on here took to mean he is onto a good thing. Well he is not..... he was everyones hero and he is being well and truely shafted....the quicker we get a new chairman and our reputation back the better. How any of you "real" fans can stomach this god only knows.....
so how do WE the real fans, get rid of the chairman then feckin know all.
Supporters have no say in who owns a club... its just a brand after all ! isn't it ?
It's now a question of whether you support the "brand" or the previous Manager, that's your only choice. I support the Southampton Football Club in it's entirety, that's my choice.

Yep the Echo's wrong, we're wrong, Cortese's wrong, everyone's wrong except you! You're the real fan, the one and only. Call me Kermit!
I've already torn your previous contentions to shreds with some facts but have it your way, we all know how you feel but repeating the same dross day after day after day aint gonna get you any more sympathy.

The funny thing is you have previously said about how NC listens to no-one, wants everything his own way, doesn't like criticism, not liked because of his autocratic nature.

Remind you of anyone?

Please don't assume you have the right to speak for real fans.

Fans can stop attending (like what happened here before the take over and down the M27 now. That would turn some heads).

With near capacity crowds I cannot see how you can act as though what you feel is in th interests or wishes of the majority.

I for one am happy with the current set up. Improvements could be made but I do not agree with you or your vitriol and I do not think you have the right to speak for fans in general let alone REAL fans.

The real problem is the feeble minded on here are wedded to their "saints" withour regard for that actually is, they would still turn up and watch 11 elephants in red if their hero NC said it was necessary.....they have no idea of tactics, have never managed a team of football players, always think because someone is paid a lot of money "they know what they are doing"... its hilarious... Feeble minds, feeble comments, no loyalty whatsoever,,,, oh sorry loyalty to the elephants, forgot that.
I think you have managed to alienate eveyone on this site now, you are so bitter that even if you said anything that made sence I will be scrolling straight past it, not one person has said anything to be-little NA (apart from you in the past, hypicrate) MLT or Bennie, but you keep dragging up ficticous nonsence. Support the Saints or don't just fcuk-off

Something I don't understand, don't know if anyone can help?

Several on here are saying that it's 'business' to pay as little as you can. Fair enough, but how do you reconcile that with ML paying off all the creditors when he bought SFC? The 'business' approach would have been to pay the football creditors in full and shove everyone else into a CVA.
I think the difference Seed is that the creditors would have been unaware of the financial situation when entering into the dealings with the club, even though the risk would always be there. As such paying the creditors in full makes good business sense as it allows for those dealings to continue later should that be required.
In this case, both parties have entered willingly into a contract, the implications of which they would have been fully aware. I don't think it's a case of one screwing the other, more a case of both wanting to dissolve the contract to mutual satisfaction.
I'm sure it's a question of Nigel wanting to move on and NC trying to ensure that, if another club is interested, they will suitably compensate Nigel ergo us for services.

It's fine to want the chairman gone and still be a saint fan.
What isn't fine is calling everyone children and blind muppets because they disagree with you .

I was very pro Pards and was gutted when he got the boot. Nigel did a fantastic job and I was amazed (but not massively surprised) when he got the boot. I'm full square behind MP, he's the manager and I hope his high pressing tactics pay off for us in the end. I've enjoyed my football under all three.

I think NC's decisions have worked out for him so far and fairplay to him. I'm happy with his decision making ability but think his style is pants.

I find myself in a bit of a quandary, as I have found myself agreeing with the most loathsome individual I have ever had the miss fortune to hear from in my life , and as a rule I would never ever admit to agreeing with such a person and I really don't know what to do.

no relax mrsa its not you! when I saw nani get sent off I thought it was the right call as it was a high challenge, however I wasn't sure if that was down to my dislike of everything manure. then after the game ROY KEANE says it was the right call and I agree with him! arrrggggghhhhhh never thought I would do that. next thing I will be agreeing with mrsa! who by the way has posted exactly what keane said about the red card, only minutes after keane said it!

I think he was more the "true saint".
If true...then I respect your feelings.

But your respect for fellow fans views seem very shallow tonight.

You need to take stock to whether you support SFC...want to undermine it...or follow NA in his chosen career path.

Your choice MGRA.
no choice needed. I don't care what NA does in the future, I am just embarrassed at the shambled this club has become and the way NC has stitched him up. "Fellow" fans = abusive fans so thats an easy one.... why should I respect people that abuse me..... I support the footy team, always have always will, never liked some regimes at times, SFC was rupert lowe, did you support him ? he was SFC !! of course you did not. I want NC gone, that is not undermning anything, you wanted Rupert Lowe gone, I know this because you told me once in the Baddeslea. So i am sorry old chum.... its not one rule for SFC in 1999 and another in 2013. If its worship the club at all costs where were you when Rupert needed you ?
Sorry mate...I have never met you in the "Badderslea" (assume you mean Bedes Lea).

You are beggining to sound a little deluded.

Your credibility is crumbling MGRA.

I think NC's decisions have worked out for him so far and fairplay to him. I'm happy with his decision making ability but think his style is pants.
Agreed, pants with a capital P!! Is NC being ill advised. Maybe Sack jordan.

When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Club Spokesman at Southampton FC. Views are my own etc

A bit arrognant for a PR guru for a club which struggles with it's reputation
Spot on Thornhill...Saints need some decent PR.... a little media spin...a proper adviser for NC.

Jordan Sibley is paid to do that job...and quite frankly...there are many posters on here who could do a better job of it (in my humble opinion).
I know him. He's a nice chap but a puppet. You need a PR guy that stands up to you. Blair (as much as I despise him) had Alastair Campbell.
Still, if you like the the mans decisions but don't like his style, Jordan, nice though he may be should be taking some flack for this, the website (Ahhhhh), and other PR travesties of justice that have accompanied our rise from league 1.

Whether he is a nice guy should not come into it.

You bring it on yourself really.

Not sure where you think you have siezed the moral high ground, but most seem to disagree.
I don't care about "high ground". Morals are Morals. I am of the opinion that many are kidding themselves. Secretly ashamed of his behaviour but not free enough of thought to be honest with themselves. This is simply because we are in the Prem. Hopefully we remain there, but if we drop then this adulation of NC will evaporate in an instant. I also find it hilarious that a couple of "old timers" here who said they would "rather get relegated with Nigel" than stay in the prem with a new manager have changed their tune ,,, quietly ,,, but they know who they are and they know they said it...... and who said footy fans were fickle..... Anyway , its all footy debate so a bit surreal by definition anyway. I just hope we stay up, he goes,,, and MP finally works out his way forward, gets a few players in and away we go....oh and of course NA gets justice.... and lots of it....

mrsa I have never abused you and yet you have called me all sorts, so that theory goes out of the window! its fine not to like the chairman but to spout the abuse about him that you have is just plain wrong and makes you look foolish. you lose any credibility when you mention hitler. you bring up seeing NA in London and make it sound as if you had a conversation with him, then only after you are challenged with facts about his family not being allowed to talk about whats happened so NA wouldn't tell you, you bring up the point that he never spoke to you just "looked gutted". well you know from a look that he is gutted about being treated poorly by the chairman. he might have just lost a family member or pet! as I said before, you can not use guess work as fact as it will soon be pulled apart by people who know the facts.
you can take this post however you like but I am not giving you abuse, in fact I am trying to let you see why so many are annoyed by your posts.

Polarisation again mate!
The way I see it, there was about 10000 of us who wanted Lowe out and acted accordingly in them there dark days!
At the moment there seems to be 2 who want NC out so that should tell you that you have a fair way to go to get "real" fans rallying to the cause. Or you could be wrong.
I'm not sure when the 10000 who had the foresight to act then, became blind muppets so you wil have to enlighten me.
I don't know the inner details of what has gone on with Nigel but once again adding some "perspective":- He has hardly been thrown on the scrap-heap, destitute, penniless, never to work again has he?
I get the feeling that your posts reflect something a little more personal if indeed you have had dealings with the club?
For the record, I haven't abused you, I only suggested that your posts be sponsored by OKI or Jobsite as they fly in the face of what a Saints fan would usually post.

I am of the opinion that others have expressed a different, and I stress, in my opinion a more balanced view.

If they tried insinuate they had inside knowldge to sway opinion, they would be equally ridiculed. Enough from me on that.

I want NC gone, that is not undermning anything, you wanted Rupert Lowe gone, I know this because you told me once in the Baddeslea. So i am sorry old chum.... its not one rule for SFC in 1999 and another in 2013. If its worship the club at all costs where were you when Rupert needed you ?
Sorry mate...I have never met you in the "Badderslea" (assume you mean Bedes Lea).

You are beggining to sound a little deluded.

Your credibility is crumbling MGRA.
ah yes it was you for sure... I was there earlier during the day for a meeting with the brewery for a contract and my lot stayed to hook up with a couple of players to chat about some promo work over a beer.... The only reason I remember it so clearly was that I was totally sober and I remember the players starting to wind up some of the punters especially when Mr Lowe was mentioned.... it all got a bit rude and edgy.... I have only been to that pub twice in my entire life so not a problem recalling that....

I was very pro Pards and was gutted when he got the boot. Nigel did a fantastic job and I was amazed (but not massively surprised) when he got the boot. I'm full square behind MP, he's the manager and I hope his high pressing tactics pay off for us in the end. I've enjoyed my football under all three.
