Stud mark of doom Posted 1 January, 2019 Posted 1 January, 2019 A thumping 6-0 win for Hull today. Hats off to Nige, who is doing an amazing job there. A Hull supporting friend told me in the summer they were nailed on for relegation, having sold all their players who were even half decent due to finances. That’s 5 wins on the bounce now. Who knows, maybe he will get a fair shot at the prem one day.
Pedro Posted 1 January, 2019 Posted 1 January, 2019 Good for him, a real decent guy. I wonder how Ipswich fans feel now after driving Mick McArthy out.

Nordic Saint Posted 1 January, 2019 Posted 1 January, 2019 Good luck to him. He deserves all the success he gets. He did a fantastic job for us. His win rate of 54% still stands as the best of any Saints manager since the 1890s. I thought at the time that he was going to do for us what Revie did for Leeds and Clough did for Forest. We were all gutted when he was sacked in January 2013 after a very good 2-2 away draw at Chelsea and here we are 6 years later going into another game at Stamford Bridge with our sixth different manager since then. There isn't much job security in football management.

Christ we still having a ****fest over this bloke. He’s been truly atrocious up until the last few games....how long ago did he leave saints exactly. He floundered in the big games for us and during subsequent tenures he’s been a abject failure. He was the luckiest manager to have a fantastic squad in both league one and the championship...and we finished second both times. That is failure with what he had at his disposal. And his ridiculous analogy’s were ****e.here is one in comparison to the ‘bus’.....he had a Bentley at his disposal,but he drove it (us) like a mondeo. Probably a lovely bloke I’m sure...but average at his job at best. I appreciate we got promoted under him,I really do....but that was the minimum he should’ve achieved anyway.

the saint in winchester Posted 2 January, 2019 Posted 2 January, 2019 Delighted for Nige and hope they keep it going. Our director is a Hull-ite and a big fan. As noted above, they expected relegation due to the ownership not being interested. And here they are making strides up the league. If they can keep everyone on the bus, the ride will be a good one.

Baird of the land Posted 2 January, 2019 Posted 2 January, 2019 Happy he’s turning it round with hull. Equally happy we’ve Ralph but would preferred him back over previous 2 managers.

All hail Nigel for me !

Micky Posted 11 January, 2019 Posted 11 January, 2019 Should be getting sacked next month then. Peaks 'n troughs and all that. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
saints-cris Posted 11 January, 2019 Posted 11 January, 2019 I really can't understand anyone having any issue with Nige. I personally couldn't care less that we didn't win either leagues, the result is all the same, we got promoted. That was his job, and he succeeded. Yes we had a great squad but that's not always enough. He was manager of probably the most enjoyable time as a Saints fan in my lifetime and I will always have a soft spot for him. What a guy.
hypochondriac Posted 11 January, 2019 Posted 11 January, 2019 Nigel is an sfc legend. If we ever get relegated I'd love to have him back. Love him.
LuckyNumber7 Posted 11 January, 2019 Posted 11 January, 2019 Really happy to see him doing well at Hull especially with all the background difficulties there. As others have said he will always be a Saints legend despite what one or two oddballs on here might say. That period was such a great time to be a Saints fan.

Sheaf Saint Posted 11 January, 2019 Posted 11 January, 2019 The real sickener was that Pochettino was already in place before Nigel got the bullet. If you consider what he said in his interview immediately after our win against Coventry which sealed our promotion, he clearly already knew he was going to be replaced as soon as the club found the right man to take us to the next level. He was hired and given a brief to get us promoted to the PL, which he did. But Nicola never considered him to be the right man to realise his ambition of European qualification. He might well have been a decent (ish) mid-table PL manager if he was given the chance, but we'll never know.

He might well have been a decent (ish) mid-table PL manager if he was given the chance, but we'll never know. Remember getting in the car after all the dancing and singing on the pitch, Solent replayed his post match interview “for those of you who might just be getting to your car”, talk about all the air whooshing out of the balloon! Sat with Hooiveld and a couple of other players up in the stand at a pre season game, my mate asked what’s the main difference between Adkins and Pochettino, Jos replied “before Pochettino we just couldn’t defend”. Either way we were thoroughly entertained in the time Nigel was with us, yes he was given the tools to do the job, but he made full use of them. There are always going to be a few loons posting “look at me” nonsense on an Internet forum, whenever Adkins has turned up at Saints he gets a deserved hero’s welcome from the crowd.
