I see Zeus 88 knows what he's talking about then. When will people admit that the nucleus of our succesful side was here before Adkins and is still here and playing well in the PL after he's gone.

also, and i'm hypothesising here, KD doesn't mention at any point that the club were right to sack Adkins etc.. rather he is simply praising the impact of a new manager.. shock!!

His exact words: "The manner in which the new manager's come in and the way that the club lifted to a new level certainly shows it's a decision [to sack Adkins and replace him with Pochettino] that's been proved right"

The BBC hate us. End of. All stories turned to suit their agenda.

 

All stories in pretty much any news outlet are turned to suit the agenda of maximising consumption of that news outlet. So this is sensationalist, because very few outside of the hardcore Saints fans would read a story about 'Keeper says things generally going quite well'. When we beat Chelsea, all the reports are about Chelsea playing badly because there are more potential readers who are Chelsea fans (or care about the battle at the top). It's not anything to do with hatred or anti-anything.

I loved Nigel - but of course Cortese was right

 

In a few years, when we are hopefully a regular top 10 Premier League Club at the very least, all the angst of the last few months will be forgotten and the bed wetters will be saying what an inspired choice MP was

 

Can anyone on here seriously point to a major decision Cortese has got wrong so far? Really?

Cortese is single minded and has bottle. He is also completely lacking in sentiment. Replacing NA with MP could have gone horribly wrong. Top bloke that he is, NA had taken us as far as he could. It was a brutal decision, but looks to me like the right one, although I didn't think so at the time. MP will make us a top 10 side. Not sure that NA could have done that.

 

I hope that it works out for NA at Reading (after tomorrow). He deserves another go.

One thing i find odd is that most fans/pundits don't have an issue with players being replaced with better players. e.g. Hammond and Sharp - decent players who always showed full effort to help us get to the premier league. In the summer they are replaced with better players and are loaned back out. This is seen as essential progress by most people.

 

So why is that not also true of managers? Manager A gets the club to the premier league. Manager B is (perceived to be better) so is brought in to replace him.

 

If the game is about "deserving a chance", should we not also give all our League 1 players the chance to play in the Championship, and all the Championship players the chance to play in the premier league?

 

Most clubs wait until crisis point before replacing the manager. NC has done the almost unheard of thing - to replace the manager BEFORE the situation reached crisis point. Because, i presume, he thinks MP is better.

 

Oh, and for the record, i will always appreciate what Nigel did for our club. Very, very few people could have achieved back-to-back promotions (even with our squad/resources), so he'll always be a legend to me

Disgusted that such sucking up to Cortese for a new deal gets printed today of all days. Pochettino is made of the same crap as was Redknapp and Hoodle. He's using Saints as a stepping stone and will leave us when he gets another offer.....and, when he goes he'll leave us in a right s h * te, taking his mercenaries with him. Atkins had the Saints interests in is heart and would have got there fairly and surely.

Is that the same mercenary Pochettino who hung on at Espanyol, with no money, in the face of better offers, for years? They're all doing a job to get paid; Adkins, Pochettino, all of them. You can't tell me Adkins wasn't at some level using Saints as a stepping stone, same as he was Scunny, and it worked for him; his prospects and wealth are vastly improved, and well done to him, he deserves it.

To compare MP with low-lifes like Judas and Redcrapp is almost as big an insult as to call NA Atkins.

This!

What a surprise that the guy who lost his spot in the team under Adkins now sucks up to the new boss. Disgusting!

Hardly been a regular under poch either.

 

Cortese is always right when will you all learn.

As time has passed I am reasonably happy with Cortese's decision to replace Nigel. There is no doubt that Nigel was great for us with successive promotions but MoPo has instilled fresh vigour in the same set of players.

This and this.

 

I feel a bit like a slut for eventually agreeing with the decisions that were made, but I can find no reason to suggest they were the wrong ones.

I have heard a few players weren't as happy as we might have thought under Adkins. I don't think Davis' comments are that appalling, perhaps a little unnecessary, but he may have been one of the unhappy ones. Wasn't the GK coach under Adkins useless?

I am pretty appalled at KD's comments - it sounds like some real brown nosing. Shame on you Kelvin Davis.

He is pointing to the truth though, we have performed better recently and players like Morgan and Jay have become better. It is also noticeable that he says he rather than Nigel etc
