Miltonroader07 Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 If we lose on Saturday. I think we will win but ???????
The Kraken Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 Ooh. That's a novel thought. I'll be honest, I haven't given it any consideration before now.
Miltonaggro Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 He might be coming out, he wants the world to know...
Hamilton Saint Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 No. I reckon he's got at least to the half-way point in the season to show a significant change in our fortunes.
Mr X Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 No. I reckon he's got at least to the half-way point in the season to show a significant change in our fortunes. How did you come to that conclusion?
SaintRobbie Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 If we lose on Saturday. I think we will win but ??????? No. I think the fans, players and even Cortese are behind him. I also think he can turn things around with great support from the fans. It's time to switch to a more traditional Saints Premier League season footing and remember we're in a survival battle. Every game is an FA Cup match from hereon in.
Give it to Ron Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 I think he may well be out.....for a nice meal with the wife not sure if that will be near QPR or not
Dark Munster Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 Saints v. QPR is massive. If the team loses I think that'll be the end for him*. *Mark Hughes.
Thedelldays Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 if we get soundly beat, I can see how he can stay on
StrangelyBrown Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 My gut feel is that if we lose Adkins is gone, if we draw and play well then he'll get another home game to sort things out. I've got a feeling that Hughes is screwed unless QPR win. I think Hughes' position will work in our favour.
latter day saint Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 if we get soundly beat, I can see how he can stay on well are you going to tell us how then ? bit surprised by this seeing you've been sulking lately & really down on Nigel.
Miltonroader07 Posted 13 November, 2012 Author Posted 13 November, 2012 I pray that we win. I think NA can do a job given time on the prem. maybe he needs someone like Gary Neville alongside him. I don't think Mike Phelan gets enough credit at MUFC in fact Neville could slot in well
Glasgow_Saint Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 1) 4-0 QPR win 2) NA walks 3) Alex McLeish takes over You heard it here 1st!!
Monkou Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 Well I would like to think that NC, unlike some on here, is clever enough to understand its not a good idea to make a decision on the long term manager of the team based on any single result. Nigel doesnt suddenly become the wrong choice if we lose and by the same token he isnt suddenly the right choice if we win. If we are going to be relegated this season (which i think is by no means certain), there is nobody I would rather have as our manager to get us out of the championship than Nigel Adkins.
Saint_clark Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 Personally I think if he was going to be fired it would have happened after the WBA game. As it is, I'm reasonably confident that he'll still be here even if we go down.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 13 November, 2012 Posted 13 November, 2012 How many of the OP's post have been about getting a new manager? Was there a consensus on whether he is a sad skate.
NickG Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 if we get soundly beat, I can see how he can stay on totally agree, hope and think will be ok, but agree even if we get soundly beat can see him staying for few games yet at least
pimpin4rizeal Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 im not really bothered any more i do like nigel and he plays good attractive football but its not getting results. we spent as much as west ham but ****ed about buying championshi players and youngsters. apart from ramirez and possibly clyne our signings haven't really improved us. i know everyone likes to blame the signings on cortese but im not sure, i think if we had given redknapp 30m at the start of the season the team would probably look a lot different.
lordswoodsaints Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 Personally I think if he was going to be fired it would have happened after the WBA game. As it is, I'm reasonably confident that he'll still be here even if we go down. I reckon the meeting after the WBA game was his warning and the QPR game will be his judgement day. If you think cortese will stick with Nigel 'even if we go down' then you nutters deserve each other.
doddisalegend Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 I think he might be in goal as player manager.........
St_Tel49 Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 If we lose on Saturday. I think we will win but ??????? Are you going to repeat this post before every game?
Wes Tender Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 This thread is a great idea. I propose that you post a similar one before every match.
West End Saint Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 If we had of held on for 3 points Saturday I think that would have given Nigel some breathing space but with us only getting a point QPR is massive if we get beat I think Nigel will be on his way. I like Nige & think he has done a great job however somebody is at fault for the signings we have made we have spent a lot of money 4th highest in Europe & I don't think we have bought wisely it seemed obvious we needed top quality defenders & keeper we spent 30 million & didnt strengthen where required that is a huge mistake.
speed demon Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 Like I have said before, I think he is already a gonner. It's starting to turn into a bit of a pipe dream for some that if we lose on Saturday we just keep NA becasue we're all behind him and the fans love him and all that. If we lose this game people should ask themselves where do you draw the line? When is enough, enough? We are going to be relegated. If he loses this then I will go from hoping he turns it around (been saying that for 2 months) to hoping he's sacked because this clearly isn't working. At this rate it will be March 2013 and people will be saying he will turn it around and such like when we are 12 points adrift at the bottom. Mental.
Ken Tone Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 This thread is a great idea. I propose that you post a similar one before every match. Gosh ..there's a thought! I wonder if it has occurred to him.
NickG Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 If we had of held on for 3 points Saturday I think that would have given Nigel some breathing space but with us only getting a point QPR is massive if we get beat I think Nigel will be on his way.

I think this fact about us spending big is a bit misleading. We have a side that played in league 1 / championship - it needed more of a quick spend than say Sunderland did to prepare for this season. Look at the Sunderland squad and compare what ours cost to assemble. Flectcher £14m Wickham £12m Johnson £10m Cattermole £6m Gardner £6m Campbell £6m Sessegnon £6m Ji £2m mignolet £2m Bramble £1m £65m worth of players and in relegation battle. Got know what some of mid table squads cost to assemble. plus "name" players who would have big signing on fees / wages; Saha - prev £14m player so guess wages big wes Brown - not cheap O'Shea - not cheap
NickG Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 Like I have said before, I think he is already a gonner. . just checked...nothing on official site. Its only a small minority of fans who want him out, appears NC and footballing world think he should stay at the moment
Thedelldays Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 Sunderland should also be doing miles better Nick. Why do you get hysterical when people suggest Adkins is not quite up to it What is your reaction going to be if he is sent his marching orders
DT Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 I've been slyly watching QPR recently and they look like a good team who only need a bit of luck to give someone a hammering. Bit like us really. Just hope it's not us on the receiving end at the weekend. Anyway, I hope people don't think it will be easy, just because they are below us. Just managing my expectations. I think we'll lose 2-1. Adkins will only be under pressure if they slaughter us (I hope)
Bucks Saint Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 According to Dibden Purlieu saint and others, Adkins is already out ASAP, it's just Cortese has not secured a replacement. So even if we win 4-0 NA will be fired any day
Turkish Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 I think this fact about us spending big is a bit misleading.

Cuts both ways.
kpturner Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 Can we have one of these threads before each match please? It really is great - I look forward to it immensely. I especially like all the inane repetetive drivel that gets appended to each one.
Leicestersaint Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 Nigel will be carrying on (after we take there points at QPR).
speed demon Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 just checked...nothing on official site. Its only a small minority of fans who want him out, appears NC and footballing world think he should stay at the moment Ha, Hilarious What the "footballing world" think is irrelevant to NA position, it's NC that matters. I am convinced he's only still here because NC doesn't know or cant get who he wants in. Hardly a vote of confidence from NC. Do you think he's happy losing 8 of our first 11 games? Saying NC is happy for him to stay at the moment is true of course, but I think it's a bit like saying NC decides not to sack him at the moment. NA is still here either way but the end result remains the same.
Wes Tender Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 Sunderland should also be doing miles better Nick. Why do you get hysterical when people suggest Adkins is not quite up to it What is your reaction going to be if he is sent his marching orders Was Nick hysterical at any stage? As far as I could see, he's been his usual measured, sensible self, backing up his position with some reasonable debate. I would be obliged if you would kindly point out this post where he has been hysterical, as I seem to have missed it.

Not like him at all It seems its getting to him that people think that Adkins has been a disappointment since promotion
St_Tel49 Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 Ha, Hilarious What the "footballing world" think is irrelevant to NA position, it's NC that matters. I am convinced i.e. its only my opinion he's only still here because NC doesn't know or cant get who he wants in. Hardly a vote of confidence from NC.How does your opinion lead to NCs position??? Do you think he's happy losing 8 of our first 11 games? Saying NC is happy for him to stay at the moment is true of course, but I think it's a bit like saying NC decides not to sack him at the moment. NA is still here either way but the end result remains the same. h'mmmm
Hamilton Saint Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 How did you come to that conclusion? 3x + 1 = 16 3x = 16 - 1 3x = 15 x = 15/3 x = 5
mcjwills Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 I am confident NA will go evenually, but all managers go eventually whether it is in weeks or years is the unknown factor, hopefully he can turn it around and it is the latter not the former.
skintsaint Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 basically the loser Sat gets sacked imo..
Window Cleaner Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 basically the loser Sat gets sacked imo.. depends on what's been done viz a viz replacements. I'd think QPR might go for Harry, don't know who we might have lined up. With the situation critical at the losing club it's no time for any caretaker manager. Not sure that a loss for either side will result in a sacking just yet. If either were going to b sacked before January 1 then it probably would have happend by now.
Wes Tender Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 Yes, he has been hysterical. Went into a foul mouthed meltdown the other day. Not like him at all It seems its getting to him that people think that Adkins has been a disappointment since promotion I stand corrected. As you say, not like him at all. We're all under pressure as fans after a less than convincing start, so viewpoints have become more polarised and a bit terse as a result.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 14 November, 2012 Posted 14 November, 2012 3x + 1 = 16 3x = 16 - 1 3x = 15 x = 15/3 x = 5 Hang on - that can't be right. Half way through the season would mean x = 0.5. That's a factor of 10 difference, so that must mean there's a 10-1 chance that Nigel will be given the boot. Not bad odds, but not enough to say for certain.
david in sweden Posted 16 November, 2012 Posted 16 November, 2012 If we lose on Saturday. I think we will win but ??????? now wait a minute. Haven't I seen a thread on that subject before .......about twenty times in the last month?
