Huffton Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Possibly not? I don't mean as in go on strike, but that is Nigels team that he has built. People make fun about his together as one comments but its clear to see how his positive outlook and enthusiasm transmits to the players. If the players are as ****ed about it as we are, and you would have to assume many will be, we could be in big trouble very quickly. Well done Nicola.
alpine_saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Erm, Alan Pardew's team got promoted with NA. I think its too early to say. He hasnt even taken training yet.
sotonist Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Nigel built on Alan's team. What were the player reactions like when we booted Pardew out? We won successive promotions.
tajjuk Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 they are professional footballers who I would imagine want to stay in the premier league.
Saints foreva Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I'd like to think they will still play for the fans. Wouldn't surprise me if some are unhappy though.
a1ex2001 Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 They are supposed to be professionals. they are professional footballers who I would imagine want to stay in the premier league. Yes but it's been known to happen before, if the players are hacked off and don't get the right feeling from the new man it only takes a tiny drop in motivation from a few key players for it all to fall apart at this level. Look at Spurs just before Harry went their good professional players with the wrong manager and system didn't work. Erm, Alan Pardew's team got promoted with NA. I think its too early to say. He hasnt even taken training yet. Nigel built on Alan's team. What were the player reactions like when we booted Pardew out? We won successive promotions. Different circumstances I think the bond formed through the two promotions will be stronger than anything they had with Pardew, player like Lambert who Nigel has clearly stood by this season are going to take this pretty hard I'd imagine the reaction will be interesting.
niceandfriendly Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 As professionals you'd expect them to... but they are footballers after all so an odd bunch. We'll see. Definitely a huge gamble from Cortese.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 They'll play for him, Pochettino is a very attaching and persuasive guy.
mcjwills Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 When your boss at work gets replaced do you not work for your new boss we are all professional at our jobs as the players are, they will play to show the new man they are able and want to keep their place.
Badger Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Conversely, will he want the players ? Or will we end up with a sudden influx of Spanish and South American mercenaries looking for a quick payday ?
maysie Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Richard chaplow @Rchap04 Obviously NA brought me to the club have a lot to thank him for would like to wish him all the best for the future #SainstFC Richard chaplow @Rchap04 Now Looking forward to working under Mauricio pochettino and adding to our points tally for the season #saintsfc
stevegrant Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 What were the player reactions like when we booted Pardew out? We went six games without scoring a goal, let alone winning a game.
Ken Tone Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I'm sure they will want to play for the new guy, but if he can't speak any English, how good is going to be at motivating them when morale is low, or even just explaining where/how he wants them to play?
supersonic Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 of course they will. We'll probably see the best from Ramirez now, and I wouldn't be surprised if Coutinho comes now too.

This, same old players stuff.
Noodles34 Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 We went six games without scoring a goal, let alone winning a game. Adkins Out! (Oh, it was Wilkins for three of them though!)
Saint Without a Halo Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Conversely, will he want the players ? Or will we end up with a sudden influx of Spanish and South American mercenaries looking for a quick payday ? The club has stated it wants to be based on bringing youth through! So unlikely but who knows!
