I saw Emmanuel Adebayor at St Pancras station today. If I had spoken to him I am sure he would have said that that Eddie Atkins was set to be unveiled at St Mary's tomorrow morning.

Well at least we know you don't work at Sky.

 

We're simply whelmed at the moment (damn wish I had trademarked that word for the reaction) so hopefully it's rabbit hat

[B Rabbit]

I repeat it is not Adkins or MoN. It will be a familiar face - not who you expect but an inspired choice.

 

If it's Merrington or Widdrrington or Holmes..or...well..whoever...i will cry, like small child. I can't actually think of anyone who would make me inspired and excited again about the new season who is a ''familiar face'' apart from Keegan...Pertrescu maybe =|

[Saint Garrett]

Or Terry Hurlock; he'd be brilliant. He'd know all about the lower leagues and getting stuck in.

 

Oooooh Terry 'urlock.

Most names are leaked so people do - I cannot name.

 

Many "ITK" posters probably have vested interests, I do not.

 

I cannot confirm facts but can right wrongs. If I am wide of the mark feel free to remind me.

Seriously, put up or shut up. Ooooh, look what I know but won't tell you! It's childish.

This. There is NO reason why you could not name the bloke you've "heard" it will be.

Ok.

 

It would be wrong to put up at this stage so I will shut up.

[Kaiser Soze]

A good mate of mine who works for the Sun has reliably informed me Cortese was in their offices today trying to make peace with their Sports Editor. NC is not amused with being labelled "South Coast Club". The meeting went on for approx three hours. It is alleged that NC confirmed Adkins had been appointed, although official confirmation won't be made until......Thursday.

 

Not happy with Adkins, an uninspired choice. We could have had O'Neill - an agreement had been made on the proviso certian conditions were met - NC didn't agree so I'm led to believe it fell apart. Cortese should hang his head in shame.

How can we remind you that you're wide of the mark if you can't even tell us what your guess is?!!

 

It's a bit like Paul Daniels saying he can predict which card someone will choose from the pack, telling nobody what his prediction is and then, when they choose it, saying 'that's the one I thought it would be; aren't I a great magician?! Please give me a job!'

 

Pointless. If you have a suggestion at the very least please pm everyone what your prediction is and then we can give you your ITK rating out of 6.0 when the truth is announced!!!!

sounds far fetched to me.

 

and someone posted he is in Switzerland!

[Saint Garrett]

Wait and see I suppose, If he's appointed on Thursday then this may have some truth in it...

If it is Adkins I will be totally underwhelmed. MoN would have beyond my wildest dreams, but I was expecting somewhere in between the two. All an Adkins appointment does for me is suggest someone who is happy to come to the club and be subservient to Clotese and Reed, which doesn't bode well at all.

Mate you're talking utter s**t. You claimed in another post that NC had p issed MoN off because NC had gone ahead and interviewed Adkins. Of course, if you believe Sky (who've hardly covered themselves in glory), NC has not yet opened talks with Adkins.

I heard this also.Deal was done and agreed, Cortese then went and interviewed another.

[Alain Perrin]

If this is the case I fully expect the story to be in the Sun tomorrow.

Well this is the pattern we've typically come to expect from Cortese. I've lost track of how many times he's had to grovel to the newspapers. Just ask the editor of the Echo. He soon showed Cortese who was boss. It's typical of the man that he could only be bothered to spend three hours away from the club. Anyone would think he had something more important to do than crawl round Rupert's minions.

 

And which of O'Neill's conditions would he not agree to? No brown M&Ms in the post-game refreshments? He truly is useless.

[maysie]

You my friend I believe are a liar. Every day you have a new bit of info, which changes with the general slant of opinion on the forum

If true, the Sun will definitely run with the "Adkins appointed" story in Wednesday's edition - or, if the meeting was post-deadline (which would mean finishing after 11pm to fail to hit the last edition) - on their website. They might take the **** in the article too "non descript club appoints non descript manager" headline....

 

If that doesn't happen then NC did not confirm the Adkins appointment. Sun journalists do not keep this info under their hats. Additionally, they will almost certainly write up the 'fact' that "a grovelling Cortese prostrated himself at our editor's feet, pleading for forgiveness and mercy in a humliating climbdown that left the once-respected Swiss banker close to tears etc etc".

 

If this sort of story doesn't appear in the Sun tomorrow, then your source is wrong. These guys don't take prisoners.

Oh and the other implausible thing here is that the Sports Editor of The Sun would spend 3 hours with NC. It's not impossible - but 15 mins absolute max would be my guess. The Southampton p*ss-take is a very trivial part of their portfolio.

[SaintBobby]

NC wouldn't waste his time making peace with the sun.

 

Probably true too.

 

And the Sports Editor of the Sun (salary c. £250K) wouldn't spend much time making peace with NC.

 

Otherwise, the story from Kaiser Shoze was very plausible...

[gaz]

Is tomorrow today yet? Or was that tomorrow yesterday?

 

I'm lost.
