Leslie Charteris Posted 26 August, 2012 Share Posted 26 August, 2012 Adkins is learning, the squad is learning - they will improve. Getting rid of NA would be futile as it would break the unity within the team and, thinking of realistic replacements, it would be the surest way of getting us relegated. Let's get the transfer window over with and a few more games out of the way before making judgement. I think a few of the ejaculations on here are a little premature.

Dalek2003 Posted 26 August, 2012 Share Posted 26 August, 2012 Next season we will need Nigel's experince in the championship..... I suspect you made this comment tongue in cheek. However, you are right. We need to stick together as a club in what is bound to be a hard season. Spirit will help us through and should we get relegated we will have gained some valuable experience build again and return to the premier stronger and wiser. NA is a good manager but he has possibly one of the hardest jobs in the league. sacking him will do no good. I would like to see someone of the pedigree of Glenn Hoddle help NA.

Most likely boll.oxs but I just can't shift that feeling. Except NA appears to have survived the bank holiday weekend sacking so far today that befell Pardew. Sadly though I also fear NC might take action, before the end of September, if we are firmly rooted at the bottom of the table with only one or two points. I doubt however he would see Redtw^t fitting in to our plans etc. but he will either look for another manager with premier league experience, or bring in a coach from the continent. Without wishing to invoke Dalek's hobby horse it would come as no surprise if Hoddle' name is touted. For ambition though NC might try to lure Martinez, as we are of course bigger than Wigan, and offer 'ambitions' of european football beyond his current club. Doubt it would happen though.

docker-p Posted 26 August, 2012 Share Posted 26 August, 2012 Cortese is the weak leak at this club. I think you're absolutely right. In so many areas of the club operations simple errors are made that wouldn't be if there was a more experienced hand on the helm. People forget NC has no experience of running any sort of business before arriving here. He was a banker, looking after wealthy peoples investments, not a businessman running a business. What would be best for Saints is the Liebherr family to replace NC with someone with experience in running a top football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it says what he thinks of the players he managed when he was here, and it's tough to argue with that. Frankly, I don't really blame him for wanting to airbrush the Saints from his CV.

Dr. Kucho Posted 26 August, 2012 Share Posted 26 August, 2012 Bringing Redkrapp back to St Mary's would be the most stupid thing Cortese could possibly do!

david in sweden Posted 26 August, 2012 Share Posted 26 August, 2012 Probably just fans who've sprung back up now we're in the PL.

If we go down and we are in a good financial state I would say we were in a reasonably strong position to build again in the NPC.

The Majestic Channon Posted 27 August, 2012 Share Posted 27 August, 2012 Adkins will take us down. he was never the manager to take us forward. he has showed how frail he is these past couple of seasons. when the time has come ,he has failed. hes been backed,but we have limped over the line. he could never manage a side in the premiership,way beyond his capabilities. hes out of his depth. We have played 2 games in the premier league...2 for christ sake limped over the line?? we were in the automatic promotion position all season what is it with morons like you?

david in sweden Posted 27 August, 2012 Share Posted 27 August, 2012 (edited) MANAGERIAL CONSISTENCY is the secret of any football team. NA will be fine, NC on the other hand needs to reinforce this team with a defence. Faster the better. I cannot believe we have not reinforced with some Premier League stalwarts though. Still give the new team a chance to settle. I agree with the sentiment you express ....but in reality those " Premier League stalwarts " are more likely to be Premier League rejects. No club allows their best players to leave and harm the team set-up and money is seldom an issue for Prem. sides. Players who are sold between Prem.sides are those who are surplus to requirements and /or not good enough for a regular spot.

Oh .you're the guy with the sense of humour ..right ? Those managers who have equalled Nigel Adkins' record of back-to-back promotions can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Sure we know some of those players won't make the grade in the Prem. but he wasn't given a crystal ball to predict when we got promotion last season. Most fans would agree on who... will / will not.. make the grade based on the first two games...so I'm sure NA knows it. The real proof of success in this League is what happens with signings / transfers this week ......and in January ...and survival come May.

cambsaint Posted 27 August, 2012 Share Posted 27 August, 2012 I want Adkins to be given a chance to manage in the Prem. However events so far seem to suggest that the club is lacking expertise in successfully using the transfer market. It may have been a good idea to use Redknapp as a transfer consultant, but no more. Too late now though, but the Wigan disaster-and it is a six-point disaster without doubt, should concentrate minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
