Window Cleaner Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 are you suggesting the players have been crying or something..? out of interest DD, when you get a new commander even though you liked the old one you don't work any less well do you? It's exactly the same with footballers I expect, there's a structure and change happens.

Thedelldays Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 new Head Chef would be more appropriate i think. yes..when the fruit and veg man was changed...i crying into my pancakes... as an office junior, how do you cope when a new PA comes in as your boss?
Turkish Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 yes..when the fruit and veg man was changed...i crying into my pancakes... as an office junior, how do you cope when a new PA comes in as your boss? i get bullied by all my bosses so im used to making their tea, getting their lunch and picking up their dry cleaning.
doggface Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Players look miserable, oh no we are all doomed. End of the world is nigh. please grow a pair
Spudders Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Well someone has made Shaw delete his "tweet" from yesterday. Make of that what you will. which one was that? Sadly you'll never get to see this controversial tweet now Turkish, unless of course some scallywag is able to view it still on their mobile and get a screenshot, but that would never happen would it?..............................
monosaint Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 The Players are Professionals and paid a lot of money by the club not the manager. Whatever their views of Adkins they will be keen to impress the new boss. I think it's just Echo propaganda.
pap Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 (edited) Surely you're not suggesting that football fans are as fickle as our chairman....? I am, although I'm not the sort of person to exclude myself from such a charge. I had serious doubts about Nige in the depths of November; everyone did. I was happy enough with NA before all this turmoil. I agree with other posters that he seemed to be finding his feet. At the same time though, I think everyone needs to appreciate that we're only a game away from being in the mire again. I watched the Villa and the Chelsea game. The record will show 3pts gained, but damn, we rode our luck. It was not a convincing victory. Benteke missed chances he should have put away. Chelsea was superb, but again, questions were being asked by commentators ( not by me ) about our lack of cutting edge. I was shocked at NA's exit, but it's not like the new bloke is Poortvielt standard, or that there weren't weaknesses in NA's game. I can see why some see it as harsh, but I can see where it fits in with the overall plan. People bang on about getting no information from the club, yet they've been upfront about the grand plan since day one. Forge a new style of football and use the youth team to produce a side that challenges for trophies. Everything about this decision seems consistent with their day one objectives. We wanna be in a position to challenge for trophies and/or European places? We need players; the market is full of buyers with deep pockets or clubs with more money than sense. Most fans would be happy merely to survive in the Premiership. Survival is vitally important, I agree - but if we just scrape it, we'll be billed exactly the same way as we were this year - potential relegation candidates. No idea whether this is the correct decision. No one does, really. However, if the gamble pays off, we get that winning mentality back again and show some sort of upward trajectory in the latter half of the season, we'll be seen as something else.

Silly boy, they should just all be banned from tweeting, stupid idea anyway.
CB Fry Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I'm sure if the club hadn't published any video or photos of this training session some people would be accusing them of concealing how upset the players were... Just like if Nige had been canned without a replacement, they'd be moaning about that too. Do you know what would have stopped anyone moaning about anything? That rat faced c u nt not sacking our manager. Your "some people are never satisfied" routine doesn't really work here boys.
opthomps Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Wonderfully put there pap. Nice to see some posters with sense and reason. We have no reason to not give the club full backing after the last 3 years or so.
Hatch Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 ...............oh That doesn't prove anything, he is 17, he may just have seen a picture of a naked woman for the first time

Miltonaggro Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 good work!! At least he didn't put LMFAO...
St Chalet Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 The new manager has already improved Kelvin's distribution, quick release and finds one of our players with that snowball.
yellow&blue Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Was the first player in shot FFS. Oh I missed it..thanks...it's the new hair cut that got me!
the stain Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 FERK ME! Does it matter who manages the team, as long as we are successful!! So you'd be happy if Jimmy Savile had led us to promotion from the Championship? Or if Josef Fritzl had been in charge when we won the JPT? I think it does matter. Id like to see Adkins release his own video, showing him being happy as he goes about his new life. Maybe a shot of him going into Waitrose, flashing his compensation and buying some good wine. Or maybe of him running around the snow or making a Richard chaplow snowman.
Pugwash Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 this is our new head of PR Okay, now I'm really worried. Bringing in guys from p*mpey ffs!
Dig Dig Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Oh I missed it..thanks...it's the new hair cut that got me! He was wearing a hat
Jonnyboy Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I'm more than a little bit worried to see de ridder in that video.
Saint Charlie Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Gallery on OS, no sign of AL so hopefully nothing gone wrong with him. Clearly a couple of new coaches inc a GK coach.
Turkish Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Are we getting this DOF chap in? the spanish fella on sky alluded to it.
los_saint Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 The decision has been made, the club won't a be apologetic about it and Pochettino needs a fair crack from the start. We all want him to be successive even if we don't agree with the circumstances of his appointment. Agree 100% with this.
shirleysfc Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Are we getting this DOF chap in? the spanish fella on sky alluded to it. To replace Reed?
Turkish Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 To replace Reed? No idea. The spanish guy who was on about our MP coming here was on about it.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Mate of mine is friends with Adam Lallana from school and he wrote "WTF Southampton" on facebook after news broke about Nigel. Adam commented on the post saying "Everyone is surprised, sad and gutted" Make of that what you will

I expect he has already put in a transfer request and is on strike.

Keep the insights coming...

Windmill Arm 2 Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 The players will just get on with it FFS, they still get their astronomical wages regardless. FFS this forum is being overrun by clueless dribbling spastics !!
lordswoodsaints Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Don't know if anyone else has posted this but here is the first training session Everybody looks happy
pap Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Do you know what would have stopped anyone moaning about anything? That rat faced c u nt not sacking our manager. Your "some people are never satisfied" routine doesn't really work here boys. Few games time, could all have been different - people could be calling for his head. We'll never know. Pretty clear now that there was a rift between Cortese and Adkins. Would it have been better for them to continue to work together despite communication breakdown? Sorry fella, but you well-meaning Saints fans who know how to run a football club had your chance in 2009. The administrators were actively seeking buyers, and I didn't see any Saints fans weighing in with the millions to save us from oblivion. We were taken over outright, turned back into a private enterprise, losing the transparency that we used to have as a PLC, but had all our debt wiped out, investment year on year and delivery to plan ahead of schedule. Premiership in five years? We got here in three. But no, let's have it all ways, shall we? Thanks for the money and the investment and all that, but don't you dare make recruitment decisions we don't like. I knew from day one we'd have to take the rough with the smooth. Rough on NA? Definitely. Rough on the team? Remains to be seen.

Had about 7 million in internet pledges though, most of them from 5 year old kids.
Roger Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Had about 7 million in internet pledges though, most of them from 5 year old kids. Well richard chorley tbf did try to start it but was told he was being silly.
aintforever Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 That video is the sort of thing that puts me off ever visiting the OS.
RonManager Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Luke Shaw @Luke_shaw3 Great to meet the new gaffer today. hard first session but good fun ! Now excited for Monday's game and hope the fans support us as ever !

If you are devoting a whole login and thousands of posts to being a WUM at least try to be a good WUM. You have wummed for a while but been overtaken by new more creative WUMs now.
trousers Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 NC had a meeting with all players and said that he expects everyone to remain and speak positively of the changes I know. I was at that meeting.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 What did you all expect Players sitting crying and giving evil looks at the new guy LOL - this!
ottery st mary Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I know. I was at that meeting. I was also at the meeting........ Uncle Nigel said, Except for you Otters old son, the forum has gone downhill at a rapid pace:p I said we need a new Manager or two:rolleyes:
