Wiggles31 Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 We need to back this man on Saturday. This man has led us to two successful promotions which in my eyes earns him legend status forever for Southampton. Lets get behind him and the team no matter what.
shirleysfc Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 Cool, we haven't had an Adkins thread for a while!!
doddisalegend Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 Has there been a game this season were the fans haven't backed Nigel?
Wiggles31 Posted 8 November, 2012 Author Posted 8 November, 2012 Cool, we haven't had an Adkins thread for a while!! Well he is our manager is he not, under pressure so quite relevant if you ask me?!
Wiggles31 Posted 8 November, 2012 Author Posted 8 November, 2012 Has there been a game this season were the fans haven't backed Nigel? Well against Spurs we were terrible at backing the team. I mean we need to back the team and Adkins. Taking inspiration from the away fans at West Brom.
Turkish Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 Cortese wooh wooh Cortese wooh wooh He comes from Italy He makes Nige pick Guly
Greenridge Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 I like that. It's one of those proper poems that doesn't rhyme, not like those limericks.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 Cortese wooh wooh Cortese wooh wooh He comes from Italy He makes Nige pick Guly I would love to back Adkins if I was confident he was actually picking the team.
Wiggles31 Posted 8 November, 2012 Author Posted 8 November, 2012 All I'm saying is the team and manager need the cliche 12th man on Saturday and lets give it to them. Nigel Adkins will be a Saints legend no matter what.
Weston Saint Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 Adkins has achieved a fantastic double promotion. He has now reached a new level and it takes time. He has made it clear he wants to carry on and that he is the right man for the job. IMO he needs to be given the chance unhindered by meddling and the pressure of not knowing when the axe will come. Hopefully his meeting with Cortese earlier this week will have cleared the air. It is a results business and Premier survival is part of that but this man has achieved so much he is entitled to our and the boards complete support for a little longer yet.
shirleysfc Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 I would love to back Adkins if I was confident he was actually picking the team. Sel-ec-tion committee clap clap clap-clap clap
shurlock Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 I would love to back Adkins if I was confident he was actually picking the team. May the wrath of jonno quick rain down upon you then.
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 I would love to back Adkins if I was confident he was actually picking the team. Someone that supposedly has links at the club like yourself should be confident that he isnt interfering with squad selection. That is of course unless you have an agenda ? Cortese has made enough dopey decisions without having to make crap up. As for Nige, he needs to convince me that he has the nous to admit he is wrong, drop his principles and make us tough to beat.

Mate, sorry Smirking Saint, my only main agenda is just that Saints do well. How that happens is the difficult bit. I am no longer confident our manager is "managing" or, to be more precise, is being allowed to manage. I am not saying any more. Everyone is free to make their own mind up.... I have made mine. Cheers

This man has led us to two successful promotions which in my eyes earns him legend status forever for Southampton. Lets get behind him and the team no matter what. I will certainly be backing him on Sat as usual. Thankfully the majority of the crowd also do the same. It only appears that on this forum a number of vociferous anti Nigel posters resort to hysterics.

hypochondriac Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 I will back him. Am told that if he fails to win Saturday then he is out and we are looking to bring in Di Canio or some randomer from Florentina.

Turkish Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 I will back him. Am told that if he fails to win Saturday then he is out and we are looking to bring in Di Canio or some randomer from Florentina. Were you told that by the same bloke that told you Cortese said we had too much money?
sfc4prem Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 I will back him. Am told that if he fails to win Saturday then he is out and we are looking to bring in Di Canio or some randomer from Florentina. Florentina...?
Pilchards Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 I will back him. Am told that if he fails to win Saturday then he is out and we are looking to bring in Di Canio or some randomer from Florentina. I heard differently, Adkins has until half time to wrap this game up otherwise Reed will be coming out 2nd half with his whip.
hypochondriac Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 I heard differently, Adkins has until half time to wrap this game up otherwise Reed will be coming out 2nd half with his whip. Difference is yours is made up and mine comes from an ex player.
hypochondriac Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 Florentina...? Yep can't remember the name he said though. Someone involved with florentina. Think he wants an Italian
sfc4prem Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 Difference is yours is made up and mine comes from an ex player. Ex players definitely know the ins-and-outs of the club. Lloyd James and Ollie Lancashire keep me well informed on Adkins' future every week.
Weston Saint Posted 8 November, 2012 Posted 8 November, 2012 Yep can't remember the name he said though. Someone involved with florentina. Think he wants an ItalianIf the current players are in the dark (I have that first hand) I am sure ex players will not know!
Wiggles31 Posted 8 November, 2012 Author Posted 8 November, 2012 Do we agree that the man is a saints legend? I mean successive promotions. Not many have achieved that.
alpine_saint Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 Christ, another one of these threads. F**k me, its getting tedious.
CB Fry Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 Do we agree that the man is a saints legend? I mean successive promotions. Not many have achieved that. Ask the Cult of Cortese t**ts on here, happy to sneer at MLT as nothing more than a former employee who was paid at the time. I look forward to seeing Nige get the same treatment the day he leaves.
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 Or maybe he isn't confident he isn't interfering? Lets put it another way Turks, I am confident
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 Difference is yours is made up and mine comes from an ex player. MLTs or Lawrie Macs son ?
hypochondriac Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 MLTs or Lawrie Macs son ? Neither although the player is friends with mlt.
hypochondriac Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 Ex players definitely know the ins-and-outs of the club. Lloyd James and Ollie Lancashire keep me well informed on Adkins' future every week. Well he sits in corporate every week and knows a lot of people inside the club.
Reynoldson!! Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 Christ, another one of these threads. F**k me, its getting tedious. haha lighten up! I like a little sunshine around the place
Stepgar Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 I will back him. Am told that if he fails to win Saturday then he is out and we are looking to bring in Di Canio or some randomer from Florentina. God please not Di Canio
Julian H. Cope Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 Well he sits in corporate every week and knows a lot of people inside the club. Reminds me of a toy salesman.
Whitey Grandad Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 And always keep a-hold of nurse for fear of finding something worse.

Patrick Bateman Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 To the tune of http://www.metrolyrics.com/21-seconds-lyrics-so-solid-crew.html There's 15 minutes to go Tell Nige to get Guly on, oh no Tell Nige to get Guly on, oh no
Charlie Wayman Posted 9 November, 2012 Posted 9 November, 2012 We need to back this man on Saturday. This man has led us to two successful promotions which in my eyes earns him legend status forever for Southampton. Lets get behind him and the team no matter what. How very sweet and touching! My advice to you and others like you is "Stop being sentimental" - this is a results driven business and Adkins isn't getting results, simple as that. Anybody nailing his or her colours to Adkins mast when they don't even know him as a person is foolish indeed. When did backing failure ever get anybody anywhere? Sorry old chap but this is down to him as well intentioned as he may be, if he isn't good enough he MUST go! Cortese will think we've lost our marbles if we are backing a lost cause. Silence is the best action tomorrow on thisparticular issue. For sure, get behind the team as loudly as possible but that won't improve our tactics.

I look forward to seeing Nige get the same treatment the day he leaves. You seem to be a very bitter person especially as probably you have absolutely no (i.e., SFA) idea of the issues that lie behind the spat between Mr Cortese and MLT. It is always wiser to base judgement on facts than sentimentality and in any case MLT wasn't that good was he, at least not in the many dozens of matches I saw him play here.

Well he was better than any other player we've ever had. And I'm the bitter one?
