miserableoldgit Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 More fodder for the forum "characters" to latch onto. From todays Charles Sale column:- "Southampton executive chairman Nicola Cortese described the club’s head of communications Julius Duncan on his appointment last December as bringing a ‘range of experience and skills that will help keep Southampton at the forefront of communications in the years ahead’. Yet less than three months later Duncan, recruited from financial PR, has resigned apparently because he was unsuited for the post. He certainly had little empathy for football, as shown by the botched PR handling of manager Nigel Adkins’s sacking."

hypochondriac Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 If he was responsible for the way the Adkins sacking was handled then good. We do burn through staff at a rate of knots though.
dubai_phil Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 If he was responsible for the way the Adkins sacking was handled then good. We do burn through staff at a rate of knots though. How come our PR manager decided to sack Adkins?
sandwichsaint Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 If he was responsible for the way the Adkins sacking was handled then good. We do burn through staff at a rate of knots though. It's the Southampton way, what price a new manager for pre-season next year?
Sour Mash Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 Good news imo. Hopefully our new PR manager will be able to take us onto the next level.
hypochondriac Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 How come our PR manager decided to sack Adkins? As you know not the sacking itself but the aftermath.
paris Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 Wasn't part of the new Cortese love in so had to go !!!
Greenridge Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 How come our PR manager decided to sack Adkins? I think you might want to re-read the post.........

Tokyo-Saint Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 I won't believe this until it is on the official facebook and twitter feeds.... or Simon Peach tweats it.
shirleysfc Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 I heard he left crying. Apparently he left a motivational message for Sibley on a white board.
ToreSF Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 Apparently he left a motivational message for Sibley on a white board. Heartbreaking. What has this club become? :-(
VectisSaint Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 I don't get where Helen Flanagan fits in (whoever she is)
Greenridge Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 My bad, I get easily confused with who's being ironic and who's not!
Crazy Diamond Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 They recruited from the wrong industry. Pretty simple.
Pedro Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 According to the Echo, he has left after only 2 months in the job.
Crab Lungs Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 I'm sure it was just a simple misunderstanding, a miscommunication if you will. I'm guessing we won't be hearing from him as he's bound and gagged, right?
John Boy Saint Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 No Surprise there! must be a damn hard job in a regime more closed to the outside world than North Korea.
Bucks Saint Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 Irony alert. Comms head goes - only source is the Echo!
Badger Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 I always had doubts about someone called Julius entering the football world. Seemed as unlikely as a man called Rupert fitting in to it. But what of a man called Nicola ?
kpturner Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 My bad....Americanisms are banned - especially as I know 100% you are not American
Barry Sanchez Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 Irony, humour and dry wit are lost upon this lad, he must be from the Orkney Isles or Bassett.
RonManager Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 If he's gone how do we know? He came round and told everyone personally. He's just left my place in Somerset and is heading up the M5 to Liverpool. Don't go to bed just yet, it's worth staying up for.
Barry Sanchez Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 He came round and told everyone personally. He's just left my place in Somerset and is heading up the M5 to Liverpool. Don't go to bed just yet, it's worth staying up for. Sweet the personal touch.
RonManager Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 Sweet the personal touch. Yeah. Oh by the way, he has got some particularly nasty head wounds and doesn't seem to be able to stop crying. I spoke to him through the letterbox.
Barry Sanchez Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Yeah. Oh by the way, he has got some particularly nasty head wounds and doesn't seem to be able to stop crying. I spoke to him through the letterbox. I'll sort him no worries, a cup o tea and a sarnie, maybe a beer or two, I always look after me guests.
70's Mike Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 No Surprise there! must be a damn hard job in a regime more closed to the outside world than North Korea. this
Barry the Badger Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 They should also sack the person who came up with 3 Carllings for £10
adrian lord Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Shocking decision at a key point in the season. I for one hope we get relegated now. Cortese out.
kpturner Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Haven't we already got a thread on this entitled "more fodder"?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Noticed MLG is posting more again........ coincidence?
Graffito Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 If they were going to get rid of him why do it part way through the season. It's the timing I don't understand.
dubai_phil Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 If they were going to get rid of him why do it part way through the season. It's the timing I don't understand. I can't understand why there hasn't been an official statement praising his work to get us where we are today.
Greenridge Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Irony, humour and dry wit are lost upon this lad, he must be from the Orkney Isles or Bassett. Just so I know for future reference, which if these traits do you display? Thanks for your help.
sotonjoe Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 In reality our recent PR form hadn't been that bad.
Chewy Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 They recruited from the wrong industry. Pretty simple. Possibly, but he was young, hungry and willing to learn.
adrian lord Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 In reality our recent PR form hadn't been that bad. True - Adkin's dismissal was a triumph.
so22saint Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 My sister is good mates with him. Says he was a nice bloke who had a hospital pass of the first job being to announce the sacking of Adkins - shame
Barry Sanchez Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 In reality our recent PR form hadn't been that bad. There is no infomation to give out, never is in this regime, its cutting a job out thats not needed. North Koreans get more infomation on their Nation than we do of our club.
Gemmel Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 I'm guessing we won't be hearing from him as he's bound and gagged, right? May be not so this time Lungs, - He resigned. They may well have put some sort of compromise agreement together (Depending on his notice period) but essesntially he walked of his own accord.
Hatch Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 When does the Comms Directors transfer window open?
Barry Sanchez Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 May be not so this time Lungs, - He resigned. They may well have put some sort of compromise agreement together (Depending on his notice period) but essesntially he walked of his own accord. Al Capone, Boba Fett and the man with the golden gun were seen following him.......................
