Saint Fan CaM Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Yeah - had a chat. He says don't worry he'll be fine - he'll remember us and hold us almost as dear to his heart as the Scunny fans. (Hope that makes you feel a bit better).
Restark19 Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Simon Peach (who I know posts on here) tweeted that he'd text NA thanking him etc and got a 'typically classy response'
Judge_B Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I did bump in to him and ask him how he was doing. He kicked me in the shins and called my dog a ***t. Behind the scenes and off camera, he was a really nasty piece of work. No, really
Katalinic Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Apparently abroad and deciding whether he wants to talk to Blackpool having already been approached.
Turkish Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Apparently abroad and deciding whether he wants to talk to Blackpool having already been approached. He could do better than them.
Katalinic Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 He could do better than them. I agree. I also think he would do better just taking a bit of time out rather than taking something on the rebound - having said that his stock is pretty high right now.
Elias Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Blackpool won't give him the money to get the players he wants in. May as well wait for a better vacancy.
colehillsaint Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I agree. I also think he would do better just taking a bit of time out rather than taking something on the rebound - having said that his stock is pretty high right now. It will stay high until the summer. Probably higher if he shows a bit of calm judgement and holds on for a while.
Turkish Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Blackpool won't give him the money to get the players he wants in. May as well wait for a better vacancy. And he's probably had enough of loony chairmen.
Turkish Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 It will stay high until the summer. Probably higher if he shows a bit of calm judgement and holds on for a while. I bet Wolves, Forest and Blackburn wish they'd hung on a few weeks.
Elias Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 And he's probably had enough of loony chairmen. Plenty of those floating around in the top two divisions though, I can think of worse than Oyston.
scotty Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I bet Wolves, Forest and Blackburn wish they'd hung on a few weeks. Especially Blackburn.
teacher Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Just wondering as he lives locally. Did you call me?
Katalinic Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Especially Blackburn. He wouldn't have gone there I don't think. Wolves would have been a good choice - half sensible owners. Personally I can see him ending up somwhere like Leeds.
TheCholulaKid Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Newcastle . Yep. Pardew must be wondering.......
Crab Lungs Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I hope someone can get ahold of him for me... I have something for him
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I think he'd be good at Leeds. Warnock is retiring at the end of the season and they've lacked consistency under him. If he gets the Leeds job his first signing will be Rickie.
FloridaMarlin Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Lives at Compton, near Winchester. A mate of mine was despatched to try and get a word with him yesterday. Mrs Adkins answered the door and politely told him in as many words to f**k off.
Ohio Saint Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I just had a phone call from him. He tried to sell me double glazing.
WinchesterSaint Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 A mate of mine saw him at Compton yesterday, Nigel said he had no idea the sacking was going to happen and began to well up when talking about it. My mate thanked him for everything, told him the saints fans would always love him and wished him all the best as he didn't want to see a grown man cry !

Special K Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 He needs to man up As do all the gob****es on this forum who think kicking a man in the boll ox when he's doing perfectly well is something that can be justified as an inevitable business decision, whilst praising the ruthless **** that dealt the blow. Its a kick in the teeth to NA and his backroom staff, their families and all that goes with it. Perhaps when the gob****es get the sack whilst doing their job well they may well have a bit more eempathy.

david in sweden Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 Yep. Pardew must be wondering....... perhaps NOT.....Newcastle Chairman Mike Ashley (?)..reputedly gave Alan Pardew an EIGHT YEAR CONTRACT extension after the summer.
dubai_phil Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 perhaps NOT.....Newcastle Chairman Mike Ashley (?)..reputedly gave Alan Pardew an EIGHT YEAR CONTRACT extension after the summer. Yeah, Nige had a contract as well Would be worth a fiver of anyone's money
Junction 9 Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 To answer the original question, I haven't spoken to him.
sotonjoe Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 I saw him sitting on a bench in Compton, swigging from a bottle of something wrapped in a brown paper bag. He looked to be doing pretty well, all things considered.
jamesfp1 Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 I live next door, he's been in the garden since noon yesterday just barking instructions at a row of garden knomes. Very odd.

Umm, since yesterday afternoon eh. Chances are, by now, gnomes will already be a half decent footie team. HTH Edited 20 January, 2013 by colehillsaint

OldNick Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 Why does NA not come out and make a statement? I'm. Not sure a man who believes in mental strength would be happy that he left the club in tears.
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 Why does NA not come out and make a statement? I'm. Not sure a man who believes in mental strength would be happy that he left the club in tears. Why don't any of Cortese victims!!??
trousers Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 Why does NA not come out and make a statement? I'm. Not sure a man who believes in mental strength would be happy that he left the club in tears. Cue "because Cortese will have insisted on a golden handcuff deal"...(which is quite possibly true!)
OldNick Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 Why don't any of Cortese victims!!?? I assume they feel so strong about it they take a payoff not to lol
colehillsaint Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 Why does NA not come out and make a statement? I'm. Not sure a man who believes in mental strength would be happy that he left the club in tears. What a daft thing to come out with. What is he supposed to say? "I just want to say I didn't blub when they showed me the door". "I think Cortese is an arse". The best he can do is have some dignity, not **** stir and carefully consider his future. Which is what he is doing and will do.

As a respect to the fans it would be nice to hear from him.
St Chalet Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 Why don't any of Cortese victims!!?? Based on the length of his remaining contract I reckon Adkins has about a million reasons.
colehillsaint Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 As a respect to the fans it would be nice to hear from him. Oh right. You feel disrespected. Diddums. I'll settle for the two promotions and let him have a quiet weekend.
bender Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 I hope he doesnt go to a PL club. Loads of our players will follow him. They wont go to the likes of Leeds.
OldNick Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 Oh right. You feel disrespected. Diddums. I'll settle for the two promotions and let him have a quiet weekend. I don't feel disrespected at all, I'm happy he has gone as I felt he was not up to it. It is not me being all precious about the manager being removed because he was not seen to be good enough
Smirking_Saint Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 Why does NA not come out and make a statement? I'm. Not sure a man who believes in mental strength would be happy that he left the club in tears. What statement is he going to make ? I was sacked ?! Not really groundbreaking is it ? He could of cpurse talk of difficulties working with Cortese but it doesnt seem the measure of the man. As for Pardew, he didnt sign a confidentiality agreement, nor did he sleep with anyones wife, but he also didnt stand to gain anything from giving a statement
Smirking_Saint Posted 20 January, 2013 Posted 20 January, 2013 I hope he doesnt go to a PL club. Loads of our players will follow him. They wont go to the likes of Leeds. The only way loads of our players will go is if they paid the market rate for them, so no, loads of our players wont go

As for Pardew, he didnt sign a confidentiality agreement, nor did he sleep with anyones wife, but he also didnt stand to gain anything from giving a statement I wonder how you can make such statements as the club is so secretive now. I'd out you can be 100pc sure

It is not me being all precious about the manager being removed because he was not seen to be good enough Whoosh. You can argue all day about whether the guy was good enough. You have a view and so do I, but very few would argue that he has no class. Your post about him making a statement is just stupid or designed to wind up those that are gutted that he is gone. Then no doubt you will be calling for unity behind the new manager, which is important, but your point is going to be contaminated by your cheap shot, isn't it?
