Seaford Saint Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 Not my view but I overheard some guys on the way out discussing this as I walked to the car. Unbelievable. Also heard fans texting in on Radio Solent calling for him to go......After 2 games...... Speechless!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 Probably just fans who've sprung back up now we're in the PL. No true fan, who has been through what we have in the last 2 years, would think any such thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 It is crazy talk, especially wanting c*ntflaps in. However it wouldn't surprse me if Cortese ditches Nige for someone proven at this level if results don't improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it wouldn't surprse me if Cortese ditches Nige for someone proven at this level if results don't improve. Cortese needs to look in the mirror rather than lashing out at a very good manager. A manager who identified the need for 2 GKs, 2 CBs, 1 LB, 1 RW and potentially 1 LW to be added to his squad. And for which the transfer committee have so far brought in one reserve GK. The manager knows what he wants and needs, he simply hasn't got it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it wouldn't surprse me if Cortese ditches Nige for someone proven at this level if results don't improve. If he does something daft like sack Adkins (again) it won't be to bring in Redknapp. Di Matteo is his best mate, so he'll be waiting for Chelsea to kick him in to touch.

The Kraken Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 how do you know its NC that should look in the mirror..? It was a response to "if Cortese ditches Nige". If that happens, the role of the transfer committee would also be in question (given that they've yet to provide the manager with players he needs). NC sits on that transfer committee. Therefore, in that hypothetical situation, he would have to look at himself and others rather than isolating one man for the blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its down to how big the club is, and how much they'll pay in transfer fees and wages. Redknapp had no real standing in European or world football before being at Tottenham, yet they brought in big players because of the club and the ability to pay very well.

The Kraken Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 can't we just go down because we were not good enough? Of course we can. The question will be "why weren't we good enough", though. And if it happens it will be for a number of reasons, but not because the manager is inept and should have been replaced IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager knows what he wants and needs, he simply hasn't got it yet. The thing is we don't know what has gone on behind the scenes. We don't know who has targeted who. I wouldn't sack Adkins even if we get relegated. But we are owned by billionaires, have a chairman banging on about Europe and have just got easily beaten by the Prems sh!ttest side. It wouldn't surprise me if Cortese decides to get someone who knows the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 maybe nigel may not be up to it..? who knows....i think he is..but I have been wrong before I think we'd be mental to get rid of him. Even if we go down. That's just my opinion, but I think with his resources (a net spend of £3M on players to get us from L1 to PL is 2 years) he has done an amazing job and deserves backing and patience.

Turkish Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 It's not Adkins. He's on record as saying we need to strengthen and where. The CoC won't like it but if we don't strengthen then only one person is accountable. Fana love to sing his praises and do far all has gone well. What happens when we go on a bad run?

Mate, you are a complete waste of space! Frail does not get dual promotions, he has not failed by any stretch of the imagination and arguably not yet been backed with a final squad for this league. You have disliked the guy from day one and I'm sure would take delight in relegation or his sacking but I reckon he is a winner and will prove you wrong again.
