SSN reporting that S****horpe say the offer to Adkins is withdrawn


Recommended Posts

Adkins may well think twice over coming even if Cortese backs down and agrees to pay the compensation. Adkins will wonder what calibre of Chairman will he be working for.

Hell, even in the crazy world of Football, I think this must be a first.

 

We had a new manager for about 2 hours.

 

Outstanding.

 

Sweepstake on how long the new new manager will last anyone?

Cortese looks to have blown out a new Manager ahead of Saturday. Anyone he approaches now will know that they were 2nd choice and that they better count their fingers after any hand shake.

Now whats going to happen, clubs are not going to let Saints speak to their manager because they know pressure will be put on them to resign and the club will get no money. Whoever they approach now will know they arent 1st choice and may not be happy.

 

Saints may be stuck with going for an out of work manager. Magilton, Dowie, Hart etc.

If Adkins cannot handle the pressure today from NC, as I thought, its probably best that he doesn't com here. This is no frying pan; this is an industrial size deep fat fryer like what is used at Harry Ramsdens.

Lock it then, it might speed up the forum!

I wasn't facepalming because of the new thread, it's a genuine new development. I was facepalming at the absolute shambles the club seems to be making of what should be a fairly simple recruitment process. :lol:

no we didn't,maybe there is a reason for all this, a power play on someone else for instance.

Cortese knows what he's doing, it's just not the same way as most other people, that's what makes him a football CEO and former swiss banker and other people dustmen (sorry refuse collection operatives) and shop assistants.

Dear Mr Cortese. To help you with your HR problem. In banking if you hire someone employed by another they will have a period of notice to work ranging from 1 to 6 months. In football they will have a contract where the notice period is usually 12 months. Now you can wait for them to work the notice or if you want a Manager right away, someone has to pay the compensation.

So maybe, scunny wanted £1m for and we offered £500k? Cortese says, you have to resign if you want to come here, we will thrash out compensation at tribuneral if need be. Adkins says, no I'm not selling scunny short.

Fair enough but the very same thing is being discussed on at least two other threads and the forum is in meltdown. Not a dig at the OP but it is getting hard work to keep up!

Someone in football with ethics?

we offered 200k they want 500k , deal dead in the water , as Adkins wouldnt resign as he thought it was fair for Sunthorpe to have compensation , this would have riled Cortese for sure , if Adkins had desire he would just jump ship , but he hasnt so it plan b c d or even e , or unless someone like MON has said hes intrested . In the back of my imnd i always thought it might be a smoke screen for a bigger name to come in .

why do people insist that Cortese knows what he is doing? Sorry, but what i have seen recently suggests otherwise, as well as that we are becoming a 'joke' of a club. Ally Dia played in the Pl for us, did that make him a footballer?

All this, successful businessman, swiss banker ******** does not actually mean he knows what he is doing in the world of football, and clearly after this morning, he has no idea.

My God what crap. He is a jerk. He may be a Swiss banker but he is no Manager and his diplomacy style is akin to Atilla the Hun !!

Where was he a "successful businessman,". His CV indicates that he was the account manager at a bank handling high net worth individuals. He has never run a business prior to Saints.

S****horpe chairman , said Southampton have been very difficult to deal with , and are probably not the type of people Adkins would want to work for . Apparently Adkins was told by Cortese resign and accept our offer by last night or the deals off . Adkins probably thought s h @ t im not going down there now .

This.

 

Up until today I was in the "I'm prepared to give Cortese the benefit of the doubt" camp but my allegence is being severely tested at the moment....
