So can see the logic behind them signing him. We were on for staying up when he left, and bought relatively well, so see no reason why he won't do a good job there next season. He can install the passion and positivity needed to get the momentum for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, plus got him in early to make a judgement of what he needs next year, which I suggest to be a whole new spine and a decent LB to sub onto the pitch for your starting left back at 60 minutes or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily this season he can use to find out who his best team is so that next season he knows not to play his best lineup every week. Especially those players who are vital to the way they play.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 8 May, 2013 Share Posted 8 May, 2013 He's a far better manager. McDermott did well but it was a run of good form that won them the league, not building an improving team that can play football. See it all the time at various clubs. Some teams are built for promotion, others are built for the future and gain promotion. Saints and WH were always going to be better equipped than the champions, same way Norwich and Swansea were better equipped than QPR. I'd always rather have the long-term manager who can improve players and build a good passing side. BUT, saying all that, stability is perhaps more important and it is odd to sack a man who could probably take you back up. Can only imagine their new board just wanted to punish someone for the relegation. Potentially you could say that our Season in the Championship was just continued good form from League 1, could you not? In all honesty I liked Adkins, thought he did a cracking job and was annoyed that he was sacked in the middle of our best run of the Season, but I can't see that if McDermott had spent £30m on his team that he wouldn't have done at least as well as Adkins. I think Adkins was woefully out of his depth in the Premiership, thinking he could go into games trying to be clever and not playing his strongest side.

Different opinion on NA and dont fancy a long debate on it but McDermott's signing at reading when they came up hardly set the world alight. That and Adkins didnt spend £30mil, the tranfer comittee did For all we know Adkins had to get on wikipedia when Mayuka turned up ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Fowler?! it's just a random selection of names to entice fools to part with their money. You know like offering 80/1 on Saints being relegated knowing full well that they'd find a couple of pantswetters to wager a tenner or so in case it made them feel more secure. Bookies should be disbanded for preying on the weak minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be quids in. you could have tried a double, relegation and Les Ferdinand as next permanent manager, odds would be what in the 10,000/1, in case that happened you could retire to the Bahamas and not have to watch Saints at all. Remember that Icelandic bloke that idiot punters shovelled shedloads of cash on when Pearson got the job, just a random name to confuse idiots.
