DT Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Could it be Di Matteo? Might change a few views on here?
Suhari Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 This is vague...could be talking about something completely different, couldn't he? Sent from my GT-I9100P using Tapatalk 2 Yep - but isn't he a Spanish/South American correspondent? Saw his tweet and it fired of an alarm in me. Have asked him if it's related to Saints at all; no reply yet.
hypochondriac Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 It isn't happening. If it does then frankly I hope we get relegated.
Neilza Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I would have thought that if there was any mileage in a change the manager is already there today. If a change after 18 points in 12 games and playing well is the solution then NC is an idiot. I don't believe that anyone in their right mind would go for a change at such a vital time. The managerial bounce could just as easily end up a nosedive if the players don't respond. But there's no reason to expect a response? QPR changed manager because they hadnt won a game and could get no lower. We, on the other hand are playing ok, even when we don't we still managed to beat Aston Villa. I can only see negatives coming from this
fish fingers Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 fuming. Cortese can do one now as far as i'm concerned.
southamptonfc Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 https://twitter.com/search?q=adkins&src=typd WTF???!??! Can't be true can it?
Sheaf Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Could it be Di Matteo? Might change a few views on here? Not for me it wouldn't. Makes no difference who the new manager is, replacing Adkins now would be absolutely suicidal.
DT Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 FFS. I despair. If true Cortese should be hounded out of town. Bust up with Adkins over transfers?
itchen_dan Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Adkins now evens to be new Blackpool boss. Would be a fantastic appointment for them.
Maggie May Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 'One Nigel Adkins' for the entire 90 minutes on Monday please.
Colinjb Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Adkins now evens to be new Blackpool boss. Would be a fantastic appointment for them. May explain the Dundee boss falling through, allow Adkins to find another job while we sort everything out.
green_gibbon Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 That fantastic feeling after the Chelsea match has been shattered now. Honestly can't believe this.
andrew123 Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 'One Nigel Adkins' for the entire 90 minutes on Monday please. I certainly won't be going if this turns out to be true.
Saint Charlie Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Even if it was Di Matteo it makes no difference. The replacement at thiis stage is not relevant. Adkins should not be sacked, he is a fantastic manager.
Saint_Jonny Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Hoping this is just a rumour that has snow-balled out of control, which it could easily be thanks to Twitter and the ****s that post on it. (me included)
Dig Dig Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Could it be Di Matteo? Might change a few views on here? Not mine
St.JonB Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 It will only be a bad decision if Pochettino doesn't perform. If he does we will all be happy and NA forgotten - thats football fans for you. Not sure about that. I for one would take relegation better than this. It will certainly change the view of people of Southampton and no manager would ever feel safe under Cortese. Just check twitter to see the anger this decision would bring with it; that would not go away in a hurry and return with every defeat.

RedFear Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Adkins now evens to be new Blackpool boss. Would be a fantastic appointment for them. yep, even if not them. we would be handing someone a great manager
Saint Scott Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Im kind of hoping 2:15 doesnt come, I am in shock! Cortese OUT!
SaintNeil90 Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I have a theory... Adkins & Cortese relationship has deteriorated. Blackpool have asked to speak to Adkins, Cortese has accepted it & found us a new manager. This way he is not sacked & the club will tell us Adkins wanted to go to Blackpool.
CB Fry Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Yep - but isn't he a Spanish/South American correspondent? Saw his tweet and it fired of an alarm in me. Have asked him if it's related to Saints at all; no reply yet. He is a spanish football expert, I don't question that. But those tweets could be about anything....couldn't they?

jayrivers Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Everyone is just saying reports claim. There is still the chance this is something stupid snowballing?
Dig Dig Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 looks like Adkins has gone, mainstream media all over it now. CORTESE WHAT THE **** HAVE YOU DONE!!??
pressingon Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Adkins now evens to be new Blackpool boss. Would be a fantastic appointment for them. At least we will have the chance to say a proper thank you to Nigel when they come here in the league next season. Gutted if true he's gone.
Thedelldays Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 If this is true. I'm done with saints and NC can shove it. Backed him over many issues but if this clown from espanyol takes over. He can shove it He has not felt a backslash of the saints crowd... We are pretty good at it

Blackpool have asked to speak to Adkins, Cortese has accepted it & found us a new manager.

exit2 Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 i have just had about 3 texts! I dont think it is true

That has the ring of truth about it. Bloody awful time for this to happen. We're going to be relegated now.
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 If you back the chairman you will support his decision.

Tamesaint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Not on bbc yet. Only believe it when it is on the beeb.
Alain Perrin Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Snow day. Kids at home. Sneaky one off the wrist and then post crap on the internet..
Colinjb Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Without Cortese there would have been no Markus Leibherr. Without Adkins there would have been no back-to-back promotions. Feel so sick right now.
