Horton Heath Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Share Posted 18 January, 2013 Think everyone knew this was going to happen sooner than later, even more so Nigel Adkins. He was was under immense pressure from the first game, it was nearly done in November and Nigel Adkins knew from then on he was on borrowed time, no matter what results were achieved. But the timing must have been a massive shock for Nigel. I think Mr Cortese thought Nigel and his coaching staff looked out of their depth in this league, I also feel that Nigel, being English was not 'vogue' enough for The Premiership. Mr Cortese wanted 'foreign' like most. I think that he could not see Nigel having the experience to take us to the next level, but can our new Manager take us there? That is his remit to deliver. Time will tell. Mr Cortese new full well the reaction he would get today, as well against Everton on Monday. He knows he is very unpopular at this moment in time and would be well prepared for the reaction. He knows he is taking a big risk, he knows want he wants and felt Nigel was not 'big' enough to take him there. No one was even surprised he was not at the press conference today, not his remit. We don't even have a spokesman for Southampton Football Club, that's how it is, like it or not. Ruthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PercyR Posted 18 January, 2013 Share Posted 18 January, 2013 Funny thing is, I think Adkins was fully focussed, completely pragmatic and as ruthlessly ambitious, but not as overtly, than any other top manager and probably would've taken us to the European promised land, with funding, as quick as anyone else if given half a chance. NC is taking a big risk if this guy doesn't doesn't hit the ground running, or is he just another stepping stone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
