CB Fry Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 OK so where is Simon Peach today. Given he's in the game, I want to ask him a few questions about the Star's story writing policy. Is this a case of smoke without fire or does the Star indeed go around making things up? Where would Pratt have gleaned this from? Surely there can't be whispers eminating from within the club. NC would surely have a lock down, find the culprit and hoof him out which leaves just one possible source, NC himself. The thing that had me thinking ****** was the use of the term 'board'. Is there one that decides on things at SMS? From what I can gather its practically a dictatorial state led by one man only. I am a big defender of journos on here. But not The Star. This is a made up story. The writing policy is "make stuff up so it looks like we have an exclusive story when we don't" You don't need Simon Peach here.

ottery st mary Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 (edited) Newspapers........having a writing policy:rolleyes: Like most papers:p Make it up when it suits;) Or in this case..a little publicity for a mate:D to jog the Chairman/owner of a certain London club.......I am waiting:).......Why Saints being used in this scenario? Well it helps another mate...Fergie to stir the shiiite just before they meet the mighty Saints:o Coz we is goin to bash Fergie.....Maybe ..

badgerx16 Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 Star's writing policy ? wtf is that, it's just a few lines of meaningless jumble to fill the spaces between the tits and the adverts. I thought the tits did the writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblyone Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 There are not many things that would cause me to stop attending Saints games but if we were to ever re-appoint that man that would be one of them! NC runs an honest club, there is no way on gods earth he would want HR here! Having supported this club man and boy,this is the one thing that would stop me going. That said,the story is ridiculous. Redcrapp is even less suited to the job now than last time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 Thanks Duncan, that post tells me all I need to know about this non-story..... No disrespect to FF but why would arry disclose stuff to Terry knowing that he would then tell Duncan who in turn would tell the world? Obviously it's a non story but either way but Harry's inner circle is a very tight group. I heard that Dan Browne couldn't even crack it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 All genuine saints fans should should boycott daily star for this. Adkins should be given 1 full season in the prem - period. This is a very tough league, we have got promoted ahead of plan/schedule. Adkins is having to replace most of the team, I believe we will stay up, but I also believe fans will believe th hype in he papers mounting pressure on Adkins after we may lose to united today. Sad really Agreed mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersubpuckett Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 I really hope we do a job on Man U today for NA's sake - this is an incredibly unfair swipe and represents what appears to be a growing amount of p1ss taking towards saints. The "media" don't seem to fully understand what we're trying to build and instead are enjoying mocking us as we're not doing things the established way. Instead of congratulating us on some amazing signings and considering what we have to offer these players, the stance being taken is more of "why on earth would they go there". I'm sure NA has the resilience to deal with this and hopefully the support of NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 Inevitably the press are going to speculate. Adkins is fresh to the Premiership and we have a very ambitious Chairman (and we assume, the owners) Adkins is under unbelievable pressure and will have to grow with the job and the division or he will be history. You do not spend upwards of £30m in the transfer window with the sort of salaries that will go with them. I have no problem with Harry Redknapp as a football Manager. He did wonders at Spurs and was quite rightly considered for the England job. However there is no chance of him coming to Southampton. I am sure he would jump at it in a heartbeat but Harry is old school and that does not fit in with the “Southampton way”. Look at Pardew! He was old school and kicked out of the club. Fear for Nigel if he does not start getting it together after Arsenal game by all means but do not fret over Harry. This will be about long term Nigel or an experienced man with the same philosophy and culture, not an old dinosaur like Harry and his ilk. If the football press do not understand that then they do not understand Southampton Football Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudders Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 I dont doubt that NA will come under pressure from NC's ambition but not this soon. One of the things that impressed me about Cortese when I met him was that he does have a genuine knowledge and awareness of football and of other teams. He will be fully aware of the fact we have a tougher start to the season due to the teams we are playing and I'm sure his expectations are as realistic as the fans for these first few games.

pap Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 Next couple of months are going to be make or break for Nigel. While the league position remains as it is, he is going to be the subject of constant speculation. He's never managed Premier League before and the team are in the relegation spots. I know it is premature and all that, but that's about the level that the media operate at. I don't think it's a bad thing. Though I hate to say it, being scared of your boss, your job, or in Nige's case, your overall credibility as a Prem manager, might not be an entirely bad thing.

Utter utter crap. IF NC even SPOKE to HR, as soon as HR asked if there was a 'Sweetie' in it for him, NC would get up and walk away.

VectisSaint Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 Pardew was sacked for lots and lots of terrible performances was he? If you say so. We'll see if they are clueless about Cortese being trigger happy come October/November. Where does Spudgun say anything about terrible performances with Pardew? No-one seriously still believes Pardew was sacked for footballing reasons, do they? Pardew was good for us, but he really wasn't the greatest tactician, I guess you were not at Swindon (away). Quite honestly if NC fires Adkins in October/November I'm not sure I would call that trigger happy, 2 years is a long time in football management these days.
