Saint Fan CaM Posted 11 September, 2010 Share Posted 11 September, 2010 Well let's see, Scunny lost 2-0 at home today. And that was with a massive 61% of possession, 11 shots on target, 10 shots off target, 10 corners. Now if that's the type of result heading our way I'm wondering what's going to change?! OK, so this is slightly said tongue in cheek and I guess Scunny's teams thoughts were elsewhere today, however I think we need to be very prepared for Adkins to take quite sometime to turn things around here.

Saint Charlie Posted 11 September, 2010 Share Posted 11 September, 2010 Will be great to get him in. Hopefully NC helps him get in a couple of loans too. He has conducted himself well throughout this fiasco so lets hope it all gets sorted soon. Their result today is totally irrelevant to anything he will do at Saints...

S-Clarke Posted 11 September, 2010 Share Posted 11 September, 2010 I am surprised by the reactions on this thread tbh. He sounds like he's a dead man walking amongst some of the fan base before he's even stepped foot in the door. I've listened to him speak and I've read the comments from his current clubs fans and that is enough for me to build up the opinion that he is an extremely talented manager, waiting for his big break. I fear though that if he loses is first or second games, people will be right on his back. He doesn't deserve that, he's done nothing wrong.

Well i hope so, i can't answer that. but he certainly deserves a chance and he'll get my support. The fact that our fans are texting in solent and saying ''what are we doing appointing this relative nobody?'' shows how arrogant we've become. We are L1, and L1 for a reason.

Dalek2003 Posted 11 September, 2010 Share Posted 11 September, 2010 We just need someone the players can look up to and respect. This is exactly what we failed to do in 2004 when we brought in Luggy. Would have been a different story if we had brought in a high profile manager. Hoddle was one choice but there were others as well. IMO we really need a very high profile manager now that can lift the players out of the **** ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all wanted a big name manager and i think we all kind of felt that's what NC had to do, but it's not going to happen so the next best thing is to go with up and coming talent.

Special K Posted 11 September, 2010 Share Posted 11 September, 2010 I'm sure he is a very adequate manager, but as an appointment i'm pretty underwhelmed to be honest. Pardew was doing ok i thought, although something was plainly wrong within the club (dodgy pre season, body language, etc) but as he is to be replaced then i was hoping for someone who would inspire the fans as well as the players. When KK was appointed at Fulham it seemed like a statement of intent. When Pardew was made Boss, it seemed a similar move, but replacing him with Adkins seems like, purely in terms of managerial clout for this league and to use a Corrie analogy, like packing in Kym Marsh to have a go on the bird who plays Janice Battersby.
