Retweeted by Nabil Hassan of the BBC:

"Nigel Adkins is now the 9/1 second favourite @BetVictorFans for the vacant Blackpool job. He's also 5/4 to be the first PL manager to leave."

 

Is Appleton still the favourite?

Adkins and Blackpool would be a good match, imo.

 

He's back on safe territory with a proven track record at that level, they get a superb manager for that level.

 

NC gets rid of NA, no big payout due to amicable mutual separation recognising the achievements of their working together without rancour.

 

Everyones a winner

Err not quite

Who would you replace NA with, people calling for his head don't seem to be paying this small detail much attention.

Hearing strong rumours that Southampton have sacked Nigel Adkins.

 

I'm much more likely to beleive a strong rumour over just a normal rumour. A strong rumour is a step away from a weak fact.

This is the biggest thing for me. I think we should keep him. Firstly I like him and think he can turn it around. Secondly I don't see who would be able to do a better job? And please don't say Redknapp. He is completely the wrong manager for our club and what we are trying to do!

Deal to take #pompey boss Michael Appleton to Blackpool hinges on two clubs agreeing compensation @solentsport understands

 

Wonder how long it will take Miltoroader to start an NA to Skates thread.

Cortese should hold his nerve. As long as the players have confidence in Adkins he should be given time.
hand on heart do you believe that the players have full confidence in NA? i suspect a lot of them would have lost a bit of faith how things have panned out. I was impressed with his interview after the game, but then after thinking about the game and others before i went back thinking he is lost in this league.

If we dont change manager in the next 48hours we have to stick with him until next season. Waiting til after the next 2 games could mean a gap of 8-9 points. 2 games that could be won would have gone and a new man worth his salt will not risk their reputation on a lost cause

Did the players look as though they still had confidence in him last night????

Spot on.

 

And if Cortese really is influencing stuff behind the scene's, who the heck are we going to get that will tolerate that?

Adkins needs replacing with a manager that can instill confidence in the players we have and attract a different class of player in January......if cortese is content with relegation then keep Adkins if he wants to survive and push on next season then redknapp is your man

The Blackpool job would suit Adkins as long as we can have ince and Phillips.

I'm pretty sure he's on his way, and could see Strachan coming in.

 

Blackpool would be a good move for NA.

 

The timing of Scotland sacking is interesting. I reckon the sweaties want Strachan and are aware that others want him too.

redknapp yesterdays man....oh my life...he finished 4th in the league 6 months ago...

 

Fair point. He's not what you would call progressive though

Redknapp came in the last time we were in this position and took us down! Why will he do better this time

what do you mean.....seriously..?

 

He is the ideal man to establish us as a premier league club in the short term. I dont like the bloke but the reality is there are few available who are better.

***** Redknapp. I'd rather go down with Adkins that have to put up with that *****!!!!!!!!!!

 

I hate that old chestnut. Would you really want to go down rather than us changing things and maybe stay up?

Maybe NC noticed the standing ovation WGS got at the Coventry game end of last season.....If you were to get rid of a very popular manager might pay to replace him with someone popular with the fans.....

 

Though for what it's worth I think WGS would be a step back....much as I like him.

 

If Nigel goes I'm really expecting a replacement out of leftfield. A foriegn coach no one would have thought of........I reckon.

Impossible. It can't happen. We've been told that Cortese will hire a nobody, a puppet, a husk of a manager without an independent thought so that he and Reed can carry on business as usual.

Exactly. He'd be perfect. Give him a 2 1/2 year deal, establish us in the premier league, which he would do and then let him go. All those going on about youth players, the reality is the likes of Shaw and JWP are 17 years old would still be barely 20 by the time he went, most players dont really break into premier league sides at that age anway.

IF NA went, and I now hope he doesn't, he would be replaced by someone for the remainder of this season only. WGS, HR type.

 

Then we'd get Di Matteo in the summer.

Redknapp is not progressive. He won't help our club move forward as a whole. That's different to him helping performances in the short term, which I think he would.

Genuinely yes. Getting relegated doesn't scare me. We can always come back up again.

 

We'd be an absolute laughing stock if we took that budgie back and we went down again.

He would get us established a premier league club. He is too old to be considered the long term answer anyway.

I think some people need to forget the pathetic chips on their shoulders and consider whats best for the football club.

 

IF Adkins was to be fired, there is nobody out there better than Redknapp, regardless of the past.

If he was given 100% control, and a sh*tload of money to spend in January, I think he'd keep us up.

 

I don't think he'd get either though.

Continuing the development of the academy, the links to the first team via the u21 team, the sports science etc. Harry laughed off all if that last time around.

 

We need to improve now and look to the future.

 

You'll see from above that I believe HR would improve us now on the pitch. The simple point i made is that i don't believe HR to be progressive.

That's all Reeds role though. He said himself Adkins focues on the coaching and he is director of the science, academy, recruitment and kit departments.
