Adkins admits he should be favourite for the sack (From Daily Echo)

Nigel, I have been amongst the leaders in congratulating your achievements since being manager of SFC. To bring the Club from League 1 to the Premiership in two seasons is remarkable, and a testament to your ability - at those levels.

However, for whatever reason, you have not been able to continue that talent in the top league. Your advocates keep saying, after every defeat, the next game will see the turnaround. well, it isn't happening.

Every week you tell us how hard you are all working to put things right. well, we did see an improvement last night - we only shipped two goals instead of the consistent three! But the team still isn't putting the ball in the net the other end!

Over ten Premiership games you have failed to address the defensive problems - thus only four points from thirty, and bottom of the league with a dangerous gap appearing above us.

I simply do not believe you have the knowledge and ability to manage at this level. Many of your supporters want to give you more time, but we don't have that time any more. I am happy for you to practice your talents at this level, but not to the detriment of SFC. If we go down this season - and it is looking that way under your stewardship - it will not be quite so simple to return.

If only we could see some improvement week by week, but we don't - which indicates to me that you do not have a grip on the situation.

Thank you for what you have done over the previous two seasons, but it is time for you to move on.

My critics will now say who I would replace you with. I would not say no to Redknap or Hoddle if either could be swayed to come. Both have the experience and nous at this level.

Alas, they're determined little beggars. Every time I swat one away, his mates all come to the funeral. The good news, though, is that the noisiest one - Kent121, of course - got flattened on the bathroom wall last night. It’s just a pity that in reality getting rid of pests isn’t so easily achieved.

Managers are, of course, much easier to get rid of than pesky mozzies or WUMs and there will always be a lot of willing replacements. However, it’s unlikely that any would make for a better replacement (and please stop mentioning Harry, Gordon, Shearer or anyone whose success was in the past). I know it’s frustrating, but, rather than falling for the DE’s divisive and persistent ‘Nigel under pressure bullsh!t, let’s keep calm and move forward together.

The facts are that he will be discussing the position with NC and they will be very very candid. NC has to decide if its down to Nigel or are these players just not good enough. I realy now think its the latter. They have let Nigel down big time.

The odds must be very high on him going soon. Thats the world we live in. Eventually something has to change ot break the mood of gloom.

I sincerely hope he has until the end of the month because two wins, which is possible, would make a big difference.

Nigel, I hope they stick with you, but if it isn't to be then you will go with full honours, a twenty one gun salute and my utmost respect. You are a legend and one day this will be recognised, if not here then another club will benefit.

For the pro NA guys, you seem to think it is better to go down to the Championship with him at the helm. I would prefer the team I have supported for over 60 years to stay up with a capable manger.

To Kent 141 - thank you for your warning! So far so good! To SO50 Saint - thanks for the vote of confidence!!

There are some very good debaters on this site, of both persuasions. As far as the abusers are concerned, well, if they cannot argue without disguised swear words or insults, then they clearly have no valid arguments, and I would not reply to them regardless.

I still believe Saints will be ok this year. I still offer to bet £100 that Nigel will still be our manager on Christmas Day. I think he's doing well with what we've got; just starting with the Man City game, he had the team set up excellently and it's hardly his fault that Fox headed a ball that was going out of play back to Ballotelli on the penalty spot, or his fault that Hooveild stuck the ball in his own net. Everyone knows we needed better central defenders in the summer, but anyone who thinks that NA & NC didn't do everything theycould to get them is a fool. We may never know why they couldn't get their targets, but we do at least know that Buttner would have come here had Man Utd not come in for him, and it's hard for the neutral to blame Buttner for making that decision. I would rather go down with Nigel, not that I believe it will happen, than sack him. And final point - there is nobody else out there that I would prefer to see here.

Blue can you please advise me of how your team is currently getting on in league 1? Do you have new owners yet? Are any of your players on contracts longer than the end of this season? How are your cup runs going? Are you still selling out Fratton on a regular basis? Are away ends up and down the country packed by the travelling Pompey fans?

Please let me know what is going on at your club before you come on here to slate SFC

Very poetic, but Hoddle has hardly got a proven, recent, premier league record, and although I admit his record for us was decent, I also remember dis-quiet among players relating to his strong religious beliefs. All credibility though was lost at the mention of Redknap! Perhaps supporting Saints for so long has affected your memory! I am still waiting for any of those who suggest we get rid of Adkins to suggest a sensible alternative. No disguised swear words or insults. I have no interest in your contribution to 606 or area of residence. Just out of interest I personally would prefer to go back to the Championship with Adkins and continue to build the club in the manner that got us here so soon (too soon) because with time we will be more than a struggling bottom of the league side only surviving due to our solid defence. I don't spend £2k a year to watch that. I don't think that will happen though, I think the support should have the same faith that Adkins has that things will turn round.

There's only one Nigel Adkins. Stick with him. Ignore those brainless ******s mentioned in S Saints excellent post.

I am not so sure if the players have let him down, I think its more of the fact that the majority of them simply aren't good enough for the Premiership. I still believe that NA is the right man for the job and should be given time, however, this could mean more spending in January.

I haven't seen a game apart from the Man Utd one in German TV (which was excellent, though heartbreaking). But according to the last minutes there and all those match and other reports, it's pretty obvious that with the densive personnel we've got it takes an enormous miracle to keep us in the prem. Clearly the best chance to survive would be naming someone who can get us a couple of free defenders from somewhere in Europe or pull one or two out of retirement before January. Obviously Harry could be someone to make that happen? Or would you rather get relegated? Any opinions?

I respect your opinion, and defend your right to express it. I just do not agree with you. Likewise, I hope you respect my view too, and I certainly respect your right to disagree with with me.

However, I can assure you that my memory is still intact, and I remember every manager and their circumstances back to the late 40's - probably a bit longer than you.

As a Saints supporter, having got back to the Premiership, I would like to stay there, not stick to a sinking ship back to the Championship with Nigel! If that's what you want, well and good, but you obviously put an individual above the interests of the Club. To me you are a Nigel Adkins supporter above being a Saints supporter. That's your choice, which I respect, but vigorously disagree with. That's my choice.

Finally, I did not ask you to care about my residence or former 606 contributions. That comment was not for you individually, but a general comment, as I detect the characteristics of previous 606 contributors on here. That's all.

I do thank you for your non abusive responses - that is appreciated!

I don't spend £2k a year to watch that. I don't think that will happen though, I think the support should have the same faith that Adkins has that things will turn round.

Saintmicky the Thickie. " I would rather go down with adkins ".

Speak for yourself you thick Tw*t

Scooter 75, I think you should take your well reasoned and adult arguments somewhere were they are wanted. I understand 'The News' are looking for contributors of your intelligence. When someone states "I personally" before making their point, it means that they understand that their opinion is not necessarily that of others! So to spell it out so you can understand it I WAS SPEAKING FOR MYSELF YOU THICK TW*T. I do hope I have made myself clear this time!!

I work closely with the Manager and the Chairman on football matters and manage a staff of about 50 in those 5 departments or pillars. The Manager is able to focus on coaching the team and only the three first team coaches report directly to him. This brings the stability I mentioned earlier because very few staff are affected by a managerial change, the culture remains the same and the strategy stays on course. This was the vision of the Chairman and it is working. It is the hardest job I have done yet but I really enjoy it. Being a manager would be a piece of cake after this! We have a great staff and everyone is pulling together as one.'


Now that we have established the formation of the team and recruitment of players isn't down to NA perhaps we can have a sensible debate?

We should however, continue to take exception to the moronic postings of the idiots from up the road whose lives are so blighted by the plight of their tin-pot, shambles of a truly unsupported football club.

Nigel, I have been amongst the leaders in congratulating your achievements since being manager of SFC. To bring the Club from League 1 to the Premiership in two seasons is remarkable, and a testament to your ability - at those levels.

However, for whatever reason, you have not been able to continue that talent in the top league. Your advocates keep saying, after every defeat, the next game will see the turnaround. well, it isn't happening.

Every week you tell us how hard you are all working to put things right. well, we did see an improvement last night - we only shipped two goals instead of the consistent three! But the team still isn't putting the ball in the net the other end!

Over ten Premiership games you have failed to address the defensive problems - thus only four points from thirty, and bottom of the league with a dangerous gap appearing above us.

I simply do not believe you have the knowledge and ability to manage at this level. Many of your supporters want to give you more time, but we don't have that time any more. I am happy for you to practice your talents at this level, but not to the detriment of SFC. If we go down this season - and it is looking that way under your stewardship - it will not be quite so simple to return.

If only we could see some improvement week by week, but we don't - which indicates to me that you do not have a grip on the situation.

Thank you for what you have done over the previous two seasons, but it is time for you to move on.

My critics will now say who I would replace you with. I would not say no to Redknap or Hoddle if either could be swayed to come. Both have the experience and nous at this level.

Wow! 8 losses in 10 games, that takes some doing! Nigel must stay! It's not like he had the money & all summer to settle on one keeper and put together a half decent defense. What a genius to try three goalkeepers in 7 games, until one has a decent game. Thank god we gave Billy Sharp his marching orders, he only scored 9 goals in 15 games last season. We have our "super sub" Do Prado! Who comes on & does nothing. And then there is Punchoun, who has no problem holding onto the ball. Leave your best & most experienced player on the bench for two games. This Adkins is a visionary! Are the rest of you Saints fans watching the same games I am? I see a team that is lost! We hold onto the ball way to long, our play is predictable, no mixture of direct or long balls to go along with the decent passing game we have. Not enough quick breaks, probably because the defense is bad. It's laborious and easy for other defenses to read. I respect the loyalty of the fans, but it's not so much the points tally, but the poor decisions he has made that greatly worries me. Nice guy though he is, he has to go & hopefully be replaced with sb with some Premiership experience, not another Wiggly or Stuart Gray.

Considering Pompey have such amazing fans that are so united behind their team, why is it that there seems to be so little interest in the forums on The News website? Thought I'd check it out and, would you believe, here is the proof of the massive support behind your team:

Stevenage 2 Pompey 1 (0 comments)
Sheff Utd 1 Pompey 0 (3 comments
Pompey 0 Notts County 3 (2 comments)
Harris hands Pompey surprise boost (2 comments)
New appeal over Scott Allan crash (0 comments).

Newsflash: your local club's site needs you. I know there is no interest in PFC and thus no discussion, but at least go and try to spark something up. You never know, maybe that old granny on her scooter is logging on as we speak.

The good news, though, is that the noisiest one - Kent121, of course - got flattened on the bathroom wall last night. It’s just a pity that in reality getting rid of pests isn’t so easily achieved.

Managers are, of course, much easier to get rid of than pesky mozzies or WUMs and there will always be a lot of willing replacements. However, it’s unlikely that any would make for a better replacement (and please stop mentioning Harry, Gordon, Shearer or anyone whose success was in the past). I know it’s frustrating, but, rather than falling for the DE’s divisive and persistent ‘Nigel under pressure bullsh!t, let’s keep calm and move forward together.

are the mozzies communists ? Or are you in Saigon ? ;-)

The away support is much more loyal and really supports both the manager and the team. I don't go in for this 50yrs of support rubbish ( even though I am nearly in that category). There are plenty of young supporters in their 20's who are just as loyal.
The away games shows the true level of support. Nobody boos or slates Nigel Adkins. We give full support to the end ( and then moan in the car afterwards).
We have enough good players. I think it is tactics where we go wrong and that may where NA needs to learn or have some help.
Last night was crying our for a 5 man midfield. WBA were not great but got the goals when they needed to.
At home maybe go more attacking but away, us long suffering fans would be happy with a mucky point.

I also agree that I would support Saints with Nigel even if we went down ( I don't think we will though ) than get completely disloyal guys like Rednapp or Hoddle in. Hoddle is flaky and Rednapp is a media darling whose record is actually not very good ( especially considering the money he spent).

It will turn around, it always does. supporting the Saints is a way of life. Not something you dip into only when all is going well.

Very well said.

I was an armchair viewer last night, but I thought the away support was fantastic (yet again) and made much more noise than the home fans - not least (but admirably) even after we'd gone behind. It wasn't a great night, but that part of it WAS great - and I really appreciated it. Thanks to all of you.

Most supporters (80%) 'give' to the club they love, but there's an element (20%) which simply 'use' it in the same way they use Sainsburys.

We have our "super sub" Do Prado! Who comes on & does nothing. And then there is Punchoun, who has no problem holding onto the ball. Leave your best & most experienced player on the bench for two games. This Adkins is a visionary! Are the rest of you Saints fans watching the same games I am? I see a team that is lost! We hold onto the ball way to long, our play is predictable, no mixture of direct or long balls to go along with the decent passing game we have. Not enough quick breaks, probably because the defense is bad. It's laborious and easy for other defenses to read. I respect the loyalty of the fans, but it's not so much the points tally, but the poor decisions he has made that greatly worries me. Nice guy though he is, he has to go & hopefully be replaced with sb with some Premiership experience, not another Wiggly or Stuart Gray.

A vote of confidence by Cortese including extending NA 's contract by 2 years would really mean something and end all this unhealthy speculation.
NA is a good man and a good manager but like everyone else at SMS has no experience of managing in the PL probably the toughest in the world, he is out of his depth, clearly evidenced by his team selections and substitutions, which to most supporters sometimes beggars belief!!
Is Nigel too stubborn or ashamed to ask for help or is Cortese vetoing getting in a respected, defensive coach with PL experience to help NA get us back on track?
With all the schoolboy defensive bloomers and own goals it seems to me to be the obvious, cheapest and best thing to do!
It may not work but surely it is better than doing nothing, to do nothing is inexcusable.
I think NC is treating the season ticket holders, who invested a lot of money upfront and the equally loyal supporters, who pay match by match, with utter contempt.
Remember NC -- you can fool some of the supporters all of the time ( the happy clappers) and all of the supporters some of the time but you can't fool all of the supporters all of the time!! --- as ye sow so shall ye reap!!!!!!!!

I cannot blame the Echo for this particular article as they are only reporting what Nigel said after last night's game.

But what I have blamed the Echo for is that they are not coming out to support Nigel for all he has done for the Club in getting back to back promotions .

What Nigel needs is to know that the local press have full confidence in him.It does not help when 3-4 times a week the Echo questions how long Nigel will be with the Club if they continue to lose games.

If Nigel is forced out of the Managerial position the Echo journalists will need to l ask themselves how much better things might have been had they come and supported him and reduced his stress and confidence levels.

This also impacts on the players who for the most part are performing well in terms of possession but have made some bad defensive mistakes . If possession won games Saints would be in mid table rather than in bottom place.

The team and Manager have the ability to turn things around but this will only happen if the Echo and Management gets behind Nigel. The Club will only go downhill if he is fired. and all the happiness he has brought to the club and fans alike will have been forgotten

Well you may have noticed if you looked back further that Southampton "Supporters" and i use the word lightly have destoryed the forums posting abuse and ruining what used to be a forum for pompey fans to communicate a lot of pompey websites have recently been set up as well as well informed pages on social media websites and people use these now as a form of communication also note that most southampton "Supporters" have never been to a game and this is the only way of communicating and i think you will find that the stories get a lot of views. but mostly its because most portsmouth supporters use social media perhaps its time southampton stepped into the 21st century too

That would explain the masses of empty seats at your home matches - All your supporters are too busy on Facebook and Twitter!

Might go some way to explain why you can't sell out in the prem despite having a much higher average wage than portsmouth and having many more citizans. Lets not get b****y now girls!

a tribute to Nigel Adkins

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win but think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

One Nigel Adkins

Together as one.

Guys,

Let's not forget where we were 2 years ago!

So far we have played 8 of the top 10 teams in the division - from the 2 that are not we've accumulated 4 points - fact

We are playing the best football we've seen in along time - fact

Nigel has taken us through 2 promotions - fact

Even when we were an established Prem team, we were always (apart from 1 year) fighting relegation - fact

We have no divine right to be beating teams just because we need to - fact

If we go down, Nigel has the ability to get us back up - hopefully

The key players are far more likely to stick around if Nigel is still there, he has a bond and they have been through a lot together.

Let's get behind the team and manager and enjoy the ride - even if we do a West Brom for a few seasons and yoyo, it's far better than that lot down the road!

We're in Vietnam at the moment and are having trouble getting rid of those pesky mozzies.

I've given them all names, of course .....

Kent121, PiS, SkatingOnThinIce, ThomasUpton, Montecristo, Tebourba .......

Alas, they're determined little beggars. Every time I swat one away, his mates all come to the funeral. The good news, though, is that the noisiest one - Kent121, of course - got flattened on the bathroom wall last night. It’s just a pity that in reality getting rid of pests isn’t so easily achieved.

Managers are, of course, much easier to get rid of than pesky mozzies or WUMs and there will always be a lot of willing replacements. However, it’s unlikely that any would make for a better replacement (and please stop mentioning Harry, Gordon, Shearer or anyone whose success was in the past). I know it’s frustrating, but, rather than falling for the DE’s divisive and persistent ‘Nigel under pressure bullsh!t, let’s keep calm and move forward together.

In our history only three managers have taken us to the top division he is one of them.
I want Nigel here in 10 years time.

absolutely correct. If we go down, he has had 40 games. Thats 40 games of experience. AF has celebrated 26 years today at MU, thats what we should be looking at. Plus if we get relegated it sets an example to the leagues, not to knee jerk. In Nigel we trust.

Ah yes, the "it's all the fault of the fixture computer" argument.

Well maybe there's some truth in the argument. In your first 10 games you have had to play over half of the top 19 sides in the Premier League. EVERY team who have beaten you in the league is ABOVE you in the table. FACT. So none of it is Nigel's fault, and long may he continue in his job.

Where's the other article from last night then?

Look a bad workman always blames his tools - but a good man manager looks into the souls of those not performing to the maximum and does something about it.

I guess the injuries has affected the intensity of his demands on those under performing, but it has to be asked is anyone really under performing?

We need to keep our powder dry and beat the teams around us...the QPR s and Readings of this season, and then make an assessment.

All was rosy after the Villa 2nd half performance, who capitulated once Ireland went off. Any coincidence there?

Back to the tool analagy - we need to sharpen up as we lack a cutting edge. Gaston looks a cut above the rest. At times last night he got the ball out of situations I never thought possible with 3-men on him. It was Messiesque!

I think we are desperately missing Jack Cork. I don't think this is clutching at straws, but he does do things differently to Morgan and Davis in the middle.

Strangely enough not too worried only 5-points adrift - we've been in much worse situations with a much poorer squad/team.

Time to grow some lads - show us you are up to the task or look for another club in January...Nigel not aimed at you!

All we need to do this season is stay up nothing else this is not a million miles away, the fixtures have given us most games against the top half of the prem. Lets see where we are after playing everybody else in the league. That's a fair way of see where we stand. What we need more than anything is to have the same manager for 10 years plus, look at Everton, Man U, Arse and even Newcastle want this. Please keep the faith as one and don't forget the 5 year plan.

However, for whatever reason, you have not been able to continue that talent in the top league. Your advocates keep saying, after every defeat, the next game will see the turnaround. well, it isn't happening.

Every week you tell us how hard you are all working to put things right. well, we did see an improvement last night - we only shipped two goals instead of the consistent three! But the team still isn't putting the ball in the net the other end!

Over ten Premiership games you have failed to address the defensive problems - thus only four points from thirty, and bottom of the league with a dangerous gap appearing above us.

I simply do not believe you have the knowledge and ability to manage at this level. Many of your supporters want to give you more time, but we don't have that time any more. I am happy for you to practice your talents at this level, but not to the detriment of SFC. If we go down this season - and it is looking that way under your stewardship - it will not be quite so simple to return.

If only we could see some improvement week by week, but we don't - which indicates to me that you do not have a grip on the situation.

Thank you for what you have done over the previous two seasons, but it is time for you to move on.

My critics will now say who I would replace you with. I would not say no to Redknap or Hoddle if either could be swayed to come. Both have the experience and nous at this level.

You have to admit, regardless of how much it may sting, that Portsmouth are the South Coast's most successful team of all time...

Cortese needs to spend spend spend in January just to try to keep up. Or he could hand over to a truly professional chairman like Lord Lowe to wisely spend the necessary investment...

That is outstanding irony, spend, spend may be the Skate way of solving problems, we must spend sensibly to acquire the missing links at LB and CB the rest will all fall into place.

Vote of Confidence anytime now then.

So, Kent141, how was the game at WBA last night? You did say you were going, didn't you?

So, what time did you get there? Whereabouts were you? What time did you leave to get back? What time did you get home?

If you have any proof that you WERE there, I'll give £20 to the charity of your choice.

Look at NC record concerning managers, he is a ruthless business man. So dont you think if NC was going to sack Nigel he would have done it already. Signs seem to suggest he is sticking with Adkins. As for the transfers we dont know what went on behind the scenes, and we probably missed out on a few targets. So think come January we can see a busy transfer window for us. But everyday now i read about Nigel's future, and its never ending. If we get relegated NA will be the worse manager ever to some. But if he gets us promoted again those same people will be classing him as the saints greatest manger again!. To be honest i would rather have stability in the manager, club and finances than Glory. Was not long ago we were on the brink of death, and was we moaning about stupid things. More like fighting for our club, that spirit has seemed to have gone in many.

Think you will find that most players don't want to seen dead in a southampton shirt possibly even the players you have this season as i can see the stripe is getting thinner perhaps next season your players will just be wearing the full replica united kit sitting at home as no club will want them. Haha, PUP!

"Not only was that a mind blowingly pathetic performance but also a shocking performance from our fans. We call ourselves the best fans but in a time of crisis a mere 11k turn up spend most of the game whingeing and then boo the players off. No wonder Appy is looking for another job.
God help us the only light at the end of the tunnel is flippin bunch of fantasists the PST." A quote from a dissatisfied Portsmuff fan on the News site. About the bestest fans in the world. LMAO

I don't know how many Directors attend the Saints' Board Meetings, I suspect the Board Room walls are lined with mirrors and Cortese sits alone at the head of the table, surrounded by reflections of himself, everyone of them, agreeing with his decisions.
Cortese must now come out of the shadows and start earning his money,, showing his mettle and backing NA..
NA's position is now like that of the bus driver who has received awards, two years running for superb, accident free, safe driving, and has been promoted to driving a bigger, faster bus but doesn't really know how to handle it and crashes every other week.
No one at the depot knows anything about how the new bus works and can't help him!!
Ask yourself -- in such circumstances ---- would you want to ride on his bus???
NA is a good driver but needs someone who has driven the new bus for years, to help him stop crashing and stay with NA until he is driving the new bus as well as he did the old one!
Surely it is worth a try, it will cost very little and must be better than sacking NA.
If Cortese does sack NA, he runs the risk, in the future, of three buses coming along together, one after the other, with three different drivers and very few passengers..
Perhaps Cortese will reflect on this at his Board Meeting!

I've given them all names, of course .....

Alas, they're determined little beggars. Every time I swat one away, his mates all come to the funeral. The good news, though, is that the noisiest one - Kent121, of course - got flattened on the bathroom wall last night. It’s just a pity that in reality getting rid of pests isn’t so easily achieved.

Managers are, of course, much easier to get rid of than pesky mozzies or WUMs and there will always be a lot of willing replacements. However, it’s unlikely that any would make for a better replacement (and please stop mentioning Harry, Gordon, Shearer or anyone whose success was in the past). I know it’s frustrating, but, rather than falling for the DE’s divisive and persistent ‘Nigel under pressure bullsh!t, let’s keep calm and move forward together.

Back to insults again Strasbourg lol. Take your blinkers off and you might actually realise what a mess Saints are in. The only thing that surprises me is why Adkins is still in his job today. You just keep clapping from abroad, actually I think I can here you from here.
