Do any of you think any club owner/manager/player cares what you all think/do/exist?

Regardless of when it was printed, there was NO mention of Adkins. Do you not think that's even slightly less than cricket?

I can't believe I'm even having to argue this point. As I've said, I think this may well prove to be a great decision. I find it hard to accept there is anyone who says it was well carried out.

If it was printed before adkins was fired, then that explains why there was no mention of the man or a article thanking him for his work, or are you sagest that saints do a random article on what adkins had for dinner last week? Or what music he likes whilst eating pie n' gravy?

So you want reasons why this was the right time?

1) Transfer Window still open
2) we have a 9 day break between games and could get the new manager time with the team in a bonding session in Barcelona
3) We are on the up as a team and therefore momentum is easier to pick up than trying to claw back a negative mindset
4) There was a few days for fans to vent anger before the Everton game so they turned up seeing the bigger picture

It was the perfect time to do it. Nigel has not spoken about it but maybe he had a golden handshake. Honestly was NA the next Alex Ferguson? Probably not. His tactics were iffy often and he is a very good Championship Manger. Time will tell if this was right but if you want to attract bigger names and move forward as a football club/business then you need to make changes when you think you need to.

I am a big supporter of NA but onwards and upwards. The mistake NC made was not manning up to the Press on the MP unveiling ceremony.

Crikey, you really are blinkered, aren't you?

OK, if it was printed as normal, there would have been a word from the manager (NA). As it was, not a mention, not even a picture anywhere with him even in the background. Odd.

Carry on shouting that nothing was wrong with the airbrushing of NA; that'll make your view true.

Mmmmm. Personally I think it a little dangerous talking about becoming a top six side when you are in a relegation battle. Sounds a bit, err, Blackburn to me.

Talk about top six when you're established or you are just putting unnecessary pressure on the team.

There is a well used saying in football, it's boring, but it's true and NA was big on it - take one game at a time.

It's when you look too far ahead that you fall.

Sure, plan, be ambitious, but one thing at a time.

I will support the new manager and help give Saints the best possible chance to stay up, but I'm not going to get carried away talking about us under performing so far or breaking into the top six.

You can if you want, but I'd prefer to take it one step at a time and that means retaining stability and doing the simple things right first.

I don't think Nigel lacked NC's ambition, but I do think NC maybe didn't have the patience to wait for his slowly slowly approach to adapting to Premier League life to evolve.

Time will tell who was right, but logic and history tend to be on NA's side of the story. I'll be supporting the team hoping we buck the trend, but equally I won't be sucking up to NC no matter how much he neglects past legends and club ethics, regardless of how much money he spends to make up for it.

Maybe being selfish, but I'd love him to do both. Maybe seeing former players honoured in some way or even a charity dinner to honour NA's contribution would be a nice touch.

Then lets draw a line and get on with it together, valuing the past but looking to the future.

He's back and his paranoia had been fuelled! Excellent.

I think this shows NC has no understanding of the human element of football - yes, we all want our club to be successful, but at what cost? We, as fans, do identify with certain players and managers - e.g. adkins, mcmenemy, mlt, rickie not only for the success they brought our club, but in the way they do it. The treatment of adkins and the lack of thanks for his success was disgusting and something the cortese apologists on this site have no argument for (because there isn't one!)

On top of that, the decision still makes no sense whatsoever - adkins had done nothing but bring success to the club so I'm not sure why NC thought he couldn't take us to the next level - he was bringing through the youngsters, playing great football, had the team and the whole club (or so we thought) united. And I'm still not sure why he thinks Pinocchio is a better bet - he doesn't speak english and had a very average record in Spain.

The decision and the timing doesn't make sense and the handling of it was awful.

Cortese may be right in the long run (I doubt it but he may be) but I for one don't feel quite the same about the club as I did two weeks ago.

Some are probably old enough to have seen Lawrie Mac's boy's of 76 lift the FA Cup. (Jim Steele MoM).

Now today, you have become turncoats..... (very Italian)
Shame on you all.

Even if the saints win the champions league under his leadership, he is, and always will be, a schmuck.

I think it is very evident that Mr Cortese is not a nice person. If I have to choose betwen MLT and Cortese I will go for the man who showed loyalty and commitment over many years to Saints and not a man who has not even got the common decency to say a public thank you to Nigel Adkins for what he achieved. Cortese has no class.

Cortese should stop thinking he is Saints version of Roman Abramovich.
His ego has made him think he can decide which players to buy rather than the manager.
The major difference being Abramovich puts his own money in to the club.

My appreciation for Nigel is undimmed, but he ain't here any more, My hero worship for Matt and Franny is undiminished, they can't play for us anymore, Hero worship for Jim Steele hasn't changed one iota, I was there in '76. Loyal supporter for the future of the Club, the only turncoats are the cowards that are running away because they cannot man up to change, or haven't any view of a possible brilliant future, you can chose to follow the bus, or jump off it and run away to Nottarf Krap where you will be welcomed with open arms to celebrate the future there if there is one.

Please accept that a lot of saints fans have now become very anti-cortese, it is their opinion and something you should respect.

My appreciation for Nigel is undimmed, but he ain't here any more, My hero worship for Matt and Franny is undiminished, they can't play for us anymore, Hero worship for Jim Steele hasn't changed one iota, I was there in '76.

Osprey, please stop fellow fans to run away and support pompey, just because YOU don't agree with their opinion.
We all support saints, but our commitment might be a little different to yours.
Please accept that a lot of saints fans have now become very anti-cortese, it is their opinion and something you should respect.

We want you all on the bus, but to enjoy the ride you have to change the attitude just a little in the right direction, if you are going carry on with the massive chip on your shoulder you are going to find the journey very upsetting at times, nobody forecast that NCs mission was going to be easy on us, if you can't find it in your kind heart, to support our failing neighbours, come back on our journey, onward and upward, it's the only way to go, and of course it wouldn't be right if there weren't some downwards too, you just have to be brave and accept the bad with the good. If you are with us welcome back.

Osprey please do NOT welcome me back to MY club you patronising 2hat.
support the club in which ever way you want, but do not try to dictate how others show their support.
You are so two faced it is unbelievable, just weeks ago anyone who disagreed with Atkins was a wum, skate or an idiot and now you are saying that his sacking was the right decision.
You post so often that it is only natural that you will contradict yourself.

Costa Gaz why do you have to resort to the childish language of name calling? You defeat your own argument by doing that.

Osprey Saint has been pretty consistent in his views as circumstances at the Club have dictated. He does not resort to bad language and name calling, and he has never, in my view, insisted his point of view or opinion is the correct one. He simply states his case, which he is entitled to do.

If you disagree with him, argue your case - don't show yourself up with bad language and name calling.

There, that's my opinion which you may or may not agree with - fortunately it's still a relatively free country!

Just got a bit fed up with his patronising and contradictory posts.
Everyone has a right to an opinion about the current saints situation, but if it is not the same as opsprey's he tells us to go and support pompey.
Now tell me if that is not defeating ones argument.
I think Cortese is a schmuck, but I will not stop supporting my team because osprey thinks different.
Apologies to osprey for the outburst and name calling.

Their ONLY concern is to exit the situation by selling the club for the maximum possible profit.

To this end Mr Cortese has TOTAL control, TOTAL autonomy. It is his ONLY objective. He cares NOTHING about the club or its supporters.

He even has complete authority to set his own salary, which as documented in the official club accounts now runs at over £600,000 p.a.

Cortese leased Benalis house in 2009, trashed it and then wouldnt pay for the actual rent on walking out. Benali had to take him to court and several months later, just before it came up, the coward finally paid up.

Unpaid bills for refurb work at SMS and people taking legal action.

Even weird goings on at Staplewood with the main contractor walking off site due to the Club not paying bills.

Yes thats very much the deal. However Isolde does come to a couple of games en route to business in London or Ireland. The club is simply an asset alongside other stuff in the portfolio. The portfolio is controlled by Corteses former employers. Nice !

£600,000 will be expenses lol Hes getting paid a couple of million a year easy.

My appreciation for Nigel is undimmed, but he ain't here any more, My hero worship for Matt and Franny is undiminished, they can't play for us anymore, Hero worship for Jim Steele hasn't changed one iota, I was there in '76. Loyal supporter for the future of the Club, the only turncoats are the cowards that are running away because they cannot man up to change, or haven't any view of a possible brilliant future, you can chose to follow the bus, or jump off it and run away to Nottarf Krap where you will be welcomed with open arms to celebrate the future there if there is one.

Osprey, please stop fellow fans to run away and support pompey, just because YOU don't agree with their opinion.
We all support saints, but our commitment might be a little different to yours.
Please accept that a lot of saints fans have now become very anti-cortese, it is their opinion and something you should respect.

We want you all on the bus, but to enjoy the ride you have to change the attitude just a little in the right direction, if you are going carry on with the massive chip on your shoulder you are going to find the journey very upsetting at times, nobody forecast that NCs mission was going to be easy on us, if you can't find it in your kind heart, to support our failing neighbours, come back on our journey, onward and upward, it's the only way to go, and of course it wouldn't be right if there weren't some downwards too, you just have to be brave and accept the bad with the good. If you are with us welcome back.

Osprey please do NOT welcome me back to MY club you patronising 2hat.
support the club in which ever way you want, but do not try to dictate how others show their support.
You are so two faced it is unbelievable, just weeks ago anyone who disagreed with Atkins was a wum, skate or an idiot and now you are saying that his sacking was the right decision.
You post so often that it is only natural that you will contradict yourself.
....and you have done that many times of late.
welcome back.... w*******r

I agree with you,osprey is a big mouth who spends all day every day on here.

.. and you are the Worlds expert on stupidity, especially practicing it.

I expect your other egos vellity,bill and slugger will arrive any minute.

I have none of the alter egos that you acuse me of, try again. You are looking a bit foolish.

Of course you dont Poppet.

If your manager had spent the best part of £10 million quid on Jay Rod, Billy Sharp and Jonathan Forte (3 1/2 year deal anyone?) and you had supported a failed £6 million bid for Celtic's Gary Hooper (no one from the top flight wants him now other than Norwich), as COE would you not be questioning whether or not you had got your monies worth. (You might also be questioning your own judgment as well as your manager's??) I am playing Devil's Advocate here. Do you really think NC said "I know what Nigel - I am gonna buy nearly all of your ex-strikers for you all over again plus anyone else you might fancy!!??). Can't speak for the Gaston deal - don't know who was behind that. Its not clear exactly when transfer dealings were ever completely taken away from the manager or whether they ever were. No one on the outside knows, but if those examples are not complete support for your manager I don't know what is. As for Abramovich - if he wants to waste £50 million quid out of his own pocket that is up to him. NC seems to drive a harder bargain. Most of NA's best signings IMO have been the bargain deals (Cork, Chaplow, Jos H, although he wasn't the first choice CB to be chased at the time). I would say that most of our transfer deals from day 1 with AP and then through NA have been fairly astute and necessary and nearly all turned out to be worth the money given where we are now. Anyone begrudge the reported £1million spent on SLR or Jose? Maybe Waigo and Guly came via NC's contacts, I don't know, but other than Gaston we have not thrown "silly" money around. We will have to wait and see how Veggem turns out. Being like Abramovich with money and players is not the background and behaviour of the people behind saving SFC and that maybe partly the reason why NC took the action that he did. Everyone on here who thinks that lots of transfer deals are imminent I think are misguided by the usual transfer window media frenzy with agents spreading gossip and rumour in respect of dis-affected players. The DE knows no more than what anyone else can read from twitter and the like.

Their ONLY concern is to exit the situation by selling the club for the maximum possible profit.

To this end Mr Cortese has TOTAL control, TOTAL autonomy. It is his ONLY objective. He cares NOTHING about the club or its supporters.

He even has complete authority to set his own salary, which as documented in the official club accounts now runs at over £600,000 p.a.

Learn and understand!

Yes, but even if it's true, he will only reach his 'maximum possible profit' by making the club a successful one.

Cortese leased Benalis house in 2009, trashed it and then wouldnt pay for the actual rent on walking out. Benali had to take him to court and several months later, just before it came up, the coward finally paid up.

Unpaid bills for refurb work at SMS and people taking legal action.

Even weird goings on at Staplewood with the main contractor walking off site due to the Club not paying bills.

Cortese is neither my boss, my tenant, nor my customer.

He's just the fella responsible for me to have a Club to support. Under his watch we have reached the Prem 2yrs within schedule.

He has overseen a massive developement of our academy (which is now back underway after some technical issues with an undercover training pitch)

As a fan, I think his most recent gamble to make the the next step deserves my support.

End of.

Sorry Dan, but Le tiss is a living legend for this club, and he's a fan, too. I've met him a fair few times, and while he is occasionally a bit of a fool when it comes to women and money, he's a straight up guy and gets out NS about in he community too. MLT is a platinum plated Saint, and he's only saying what. Lot of us are thinking about nicola.

If they could indeed clear the air, as Matt suggested, maybe Matt could help Nicola find a touch with the fans that would turn him into a legend too. Given all that cortese has done for us already, it's such a shame that his first touch always lets him down.

Ah, what a refreshing contribution, from a fellow fan that doesn't always buy into the 'blind faith' routine at all costs, and has given some serious thought to matters concerning 'our' football team.
Too many people on here see things in black and white (careful what you wish for, may never see red and white stripes again) and these are the ones that give succour to these dictatorial football 'visionaries' that are taking over our 'beautiful game'- and i am sorry to see that the normally level-headed and succinct Tirau Dan appears to be gravitating into this comedy maelstrom.
This club has just lost it's most highly undervalued (and underpaid) PR man and still the plebians run around barking 'man up, support your club' (at all costs?) while it's being visibly highjacked and packaged as a successful 'product/project' that just happens to be in Southampton. It's these lemming-like 'fans' that should run off now to Man City or Chelski or QPR or MKD if they buy into all this bunk. Or maybe, 'man up' and fight this corporate tide for Southampton- the pride of the South!
If you do read this: Thank you Nicola, but a step too far, you need to get your PR machine out of first gear before everyone wakes up. We're waiting.

Not ridiculous at all, how will standing up as you call it, get Nigel Adkins back? What did I say that was untrue? You and a few seem to have taken it badly, OK that's your choice, but you still have to accept what has happened, as it will never be reversed, your "stabbed in the back" expression is based on what exactly? Any proof that you have would be more than welcome on here because no one knows for sure how it was carried out.

With regard to what will standing up to Cortese achieve, maybe nothing. But history will tell you what happens if you throw yourself at their feet. I have supported saints for 25 years. I have taken my sons to the saints and they are fervent supporters. But we all feel that the action of Cortese in sacking Adkins has taken something from our club that made it a little bit special. To be frank, the ability of some on here, who were so behind Adkins up to his sacking, to air brush all he did for us out of their minds, and are now swearing allegiance forever to Cortese just sickens me. Time will be the deciding factor on the actions of Cortese, but our club lost something valuable in the way it happened, and I for one will not blindly accept it.

Now today, you have become turncoats..... (very Italian)
Shame on you all.

Even if the saints win the champions league under his leadership, he is, and always will be, a schmuck.

My appreciation for Nigel is undimmed, but he ain't here any more, My hero worship for Matt and Franny is undiminished, they can't play for us anymore, Hero worship for Jim Steele hasn't changed one iota, I was there in '76. Loyal supporter for the future of the Club, the only turncoats are the cowards that are running away because they cannot man up to change, or haven't any view of a possible brilliant future, you can chose to follow the bus, or jump off it and run away to Nottarf Krap where you will be welcomed with open arms to celebrate the future there if there is one.

What a rediculous response from osprey. If supporting the man who stabbed one of our best managers in the back is "manning up" I will be happy to not be there. Real manning up is standing up to tyrants, not licking their boots.

Not ridiculous at all, how will standing up as you call it, get Nigel Adkins back? What did I say that was untrue? You and a few seem to have taken it badly, OK that's your choice, but you still have to accept what has happened, as it will never be reversed, your "stabbed in the back" expression is based on what exactly?

No he didn't find out he was sacked through the TV. That's a b0ll0cks rumour spread by Pompey fans.

I enjoy it when this man speaks in public.. he makes sense, you can see he means what he says and knows he's acting for good reasons.

I'll allow myself to judge someone I've never met: Matt Le Tissier has behaved shockingly... and should apologise...
.
*Throw in scam
*Fialka Micky mouse sage and flipant golf course comments from pinnacle
*And his anti Cortese attitude problem has been Anti Club and he never even met the man..

Enough

Sorry Dan, but Le tiss is a living legend for this club, and he's a fan, too. I've met him a fair few times, and while he is occasionally a bit of a fool when it comes to women and money, he's a straight up guy and gets out NS about in he community too. MLT is a platinum plated Saint, and he's only saying what. Lot of us are thinking about nicola.

If they could indeed clear the air, as Matt suggested, maybe Matt could help Nicola find a touch with the fans that would turn him into a legend too. Given all that cortese has done for us already, it's such a shame that his first touch always lets him down.

Ah, what a refreshing contribution, from a fellow fan that doesn't always buy into the 'blind faith' routine at all costs, and has given some serious thought to matters concerning 'our' football team.
Too many people on here see things in black and white (careful what you wish for, may never see red and white stripes again) and these are the ones that give succour to these dictatorial football 'visionaries' that are taking over our 'beautiful game'- and i am sorry to see that the normally level-headed and succinct Tirau Dan appears to be gravitating into this comedy maelstrom.
This club has just lost it's most highly undervalued (and underpaid) PR man and still the plebians run around barking 'man up, support your club' (at all costs?) while it's being visibly highjacked and packaged as a successful 'product/project' that just happens to be in Southampton. It's these lemming-like 'fans' that should run off now to Man City or Chelski or QPR or MKD if they buy into all this bunk. Or maybe, 'man up' and fight this corporate tide for Southampton- the pride of the South!
If you do read this: Thank you Nicola, but a step too far, you need to get your PR machine out of first gear before everyone wakes up. We're waiting.

See you later, then.

We're all off to the Top 6. Ta-ra.
