Saint-Armstrong Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 From Kate Laven - Journalist for the Telegraph: "Redknapp rumour appears to be true...he'll be back on the Saints throne in three weeks...or possibly before. Poor Nige." Not liking this... Why three weeks? Odd.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 Please, please, please - do not let this be true. I don't think I could take it - in fact I think I would rather go back down.

Nicola: His reappointment in place of an honourable man like Nigel would make me sick to my very core. I would rather be relegated with our dignity preserved then have that vile scumbag back involved with us. Edited 23 October, 2012 by Colinjb
Griffo Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 F*ck off. Why is this b*llocks even on our forum?
Saint Scott Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 Although I'm going to get torn to pieces in my eyes this is the way to go. This defensive atrocity can't continue.
maysie Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 She doesn't seem to be a football person if you go through her past tweets and she is cited as a cricket and sailing journalist...
MOSaint Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 I don't like this idea, let's hope the journalist writing this is a hack.
Viking Warrior Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 This is utter ******** . I will seriously stop supporting saints if the ****t becomes manager again . Thankfully that will not happen and I will forever support my beloved saints

Nicola: His reappointment in place of an honourable man like Nigel would make me sick to my very core.

Y/N
saint_disco123 Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 would you lot still be complaining IF he was apointted? and he not only kept us up he also got us around mid table?
Colinjb Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 would you lot still be complaining IF he was apointted? and he not only kept us up he also got us around mid table? Yes. I would not be happy until he was gone. I couldn't have supported an England side managed by him, god knows how I could support a Saints team managed by him.
Griffo Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 How any Saints fan could say they wouldn't mind him back because he's a decent manager is beyond me. I wouldn't care if he was as good as f*cking Mourinho. He's a twitchy, disloyal Skate c*nt and shouldn't be welcome in the city of Southampton let alone anywhere near our football club.
egg Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 would you lot still be complaining IF he was apointted? and he not only kept us up he also got us around mid table? The masses will love him as soon as he comes out with "I love this club"," I regret ever leaving", " the fans are the best" etc etc Fwiw, I wouldn't want him back and would stick with NA. With that said, would any of us object to his skills in the transfer market, and Jordan and Bond working with our defence (assuming they all come as a package)?
saint_disco123 Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 saying that (and am compeltly contradicing myself here) my pompey mates have been saying getting him would be a death wish and saying we would end up like them in a few years "gulp" Lets just get a fit squad and see how things go, the team we had againts aston villa would be deadly
JPTCount Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 the telegraph have some awful journalists, Jonathan leiw seems to be the bane of my breakfast. id write this off to attention seeking.
Gordon Mockles Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 How any Saints fan could say they wouldn't mind him back because he's a decent manager is beyond me. I wouldn't care if he was as good as f*cking Mourinho. He's a twitchy, disloyal Skate c*nt and shouldn't be welcome in the city of Southampton let alone anywhere near our football club. What over reactionary b*llocks! He is a proven manager with a good track record & the only reason he f*cked off before was due to Lowe meddling & trying to get involved with the managing side. Redknapp realised the sh*t he was promised wasn't sold as seen & departed. Fans over-reacted massively imho. I'm not saying I want him back but some of the responses we had were ridiculous. You only see what you want to see. Some say that is happening now with Adkins &, to be fair, I am fast losing patience with Cortese's alleged lack of respect for Nigel. Lack of respect for anyone. Seeing Nige only as a physio. If he's not trusted enough to be allowed to manage, bring in someone who can be allowed to manage, despite how much I like the guy.
LostBoys Posted 23 October, 2012 Posted 23 October, 2012 (edited) Its ******** - why three weeks Harry boy is unemployed and could start tomorrow. The missing word is bo**ox Edited 23 October, 2012 by LostBoys swear word sorry
jasonb Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 I won't set foot in St Mary's or give the club any of my hard earned IF he comes back. Its as simple as that NC!
del boy Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Hopefully this is someone just having a guess and hoping he gets lucky, so he can look ITK ....it wouldn't be the first
doggface Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 He is an absolute media whore and full of ****, however his record is very good apart from with us. Adkins is a top guy and done a great job for us but I cannot see him plugging the defence. Personally I would welcome hoddle and redknapp. Utter ****s but good managers IMO.
conaero Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Although I'm going to get torn to pieces in my eyes this is the way to go. This defensive atrocity can't continue. I hate to admit that if we want to be playing Prem football next year it is the answer. My fear is that it will all end in tears in the long run and the club will be in a worse position when turkey neck walks.
Saint in Paradise Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 As I got infraction points for posting an obvious joke on the main board I sincerely hope that also happens to the original poster. In fact thinking about it I think we should all report the original post and bring it to the attention of the admins as it is just an obvious attempt to wind people up, not start a reasonable debate.
AussieDog Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 I don't believe in "win at all costs" and bringing that cheating skate back is tantamount to that. I can still remember the interviews he gave when he was a manager - all he ever did was whinge and whine about how we weren't good enough (fair enough, it may have been true, but it's not exactly a good motivational tactic is it). I can't ever recall him looking comfortable in the job and I don't see how that would change now - and that is aside from the rumours of brown envelopes and offshore accounts. The only positive I can see from it is I'd get a good nights sleep at the weekend because I wouldn't be up half the night watching Saints!
chocco boxo Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 I would never support Saints whilst he was in charge, the guy is a complete **** and NC would become the biggest **** there ever was for doing it! However I don't think NC would do this, but Di Canio yes and at 33-1 cold be a good bet? Was Les Reed at Charlton when Di Canio was there?
Red and White Army Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 If Cortese appoints Redknapp, the club is dead to me until they both leave.
Sour Mash Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 From Kate Laven - Journalist for the Telegraph: "Redknapp rumour appears to be true...he'll be back on the Saints throne in three weeks...or possibly before.

However I don't think NC would do this, but Di Canio yes and at 33-1 cold be a good bet? Was Les Reed at Charlton when Di Canio was there? So no to Redknapp, but yes to a fascist? No Saints fan should want Di Canio anywhere near the club, he is a vile man.
chocco boxo Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 So no to Redknapp, but yes to a fascist? No Saints fan should want Di Canio anywhere near the club, he is a vile man. I personally was not advocating PDC but can see NC going for him! I might have £10 on it at 33-1!
sammysaint Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Hate him for what he done, however like with England i said i wouldn't support Redknapp as manager for country unless he got us to the semi finals of the euros, so il be supporting the team rather then redknapp and if redknapp keeps us up, i would then forgive him only because it will benfit the club so much by him keeping us up and if he does the media lover would help us bring in big names, redknapp has proven with money hes quality without it hes poor. In a ideal world, we beat spurs sunday and nigel stays but for me anything other then a win and hes out, and rightly so no manager in any job can get away with reporting losses most weeks.
Matthew Le God Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 From Kate Laven - Journalist for the Telegraph: "Redknapp rumour appears to be true...he'll be back on the Saints throne in three weeks...or possibly before. Poor Nige." She used to work for the Daily Echo... http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/kate-laven/4/485/906 And we know what the club think of the Daily Echo... "For clarification, the following statement was issued to the Southern Daily Echo in relation to the story they are running this morning. It has been the Club’s conscious policy for the last three years not to reply to questions or calls for statements from the Daily Echo and this will continue to be Club Policy."
thorpie the sinner Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 massive IF but if Saggy did take over and we win 4 on the spin, where will the detractors stand then? I think deep down we all the club, and change happens!
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Although I'm going to get torn to pieces in my eyes this is the way to go. This defensive atrocity can't continue. Yeah, because he really made us hard to beat last time.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Di Canio is completely the wrong kind of manager for Saints, especially if the rumours about NC controlling the team are to be believed. Also, he's not that good a manager, he has had a very high budget compared to other sides in L1 and L2. The best comparison to him is Paul Ince at the MK Dons.
trousers Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Call me old fashioned but IF Redknapp got the gig I would see how it panned out before making any judgements. I do have ambitions to express knee jerk emotive opinions mind you. Just never been very good at it.
Thedelldays Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Yeah' date=' because he really made us hard to beat last time.[/quote'] it will have zero influence on last time... do you think we would get to a cup final, europe in 3 years if WGS took over now...? I dont

Also, he's not that good a manager, he has had a very high budget compared to other sides in L1 and L2. The best comparison to him is Paul Ince at the MK Dons. interesting that he is wrong because he had achieved wuth a high budget, does that not equally apply to adkins? for what its worth i think we should make a decision today and stick with it. Nc needs to stick or twist but not dawdle for weeks until change is too late. i would keep until the end of the season regardless personally but if he does feel a change is the right move do it know to give the max chance of success.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 (edited) Selling our soul if true. I think we and the rest of football "sold our soul" a while ago. Personally I will always support the team no matter who is in charge but I really can't see Nicola Cortese and Harry Redknapp getting along. Edited 24 October, 2012 by Fitzhugh Fella
Colbury Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Ill always remember when he posed holding a Pompey shirt whilst still manager here. On this board was a caption competition with everyone thinking it was all light hearted and totally acceptable. I don't want the c*nt anywhere near my football club.
stanthemanfairoak Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 She doesn't seem to be a football person if you go through her past tweets and she is cited as a cricket and sailing journalist...where do people get this crap from? harry is no yes man total crap.
CB Saint Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Perhaps we need a c*** of a manager to deal with the c*** of a chairman. Personally I would rather scrub my nuts with a cheese grater than have him back.
Ampersound Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Blimey.. Harry wants to take us down twice!
Joesaint Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 Ok, no one can say, HR is not a quality manager, as much as I like NA. I support NA but if HR comes... thats football. I for one would like to stay in the prem. - I support saints whatever! COYS
itchen_dan Posted 24 October, 2012 Posted 24 October, 2012 I would not say no if he had to come Totally agree.
