egg Posted 23 October, 2012 Share Posted 23 October, 2012 would you lot still be complaining IF he was apointted? and he not only kept us up he also got us around mid table? The masses will love him as soon as he comes out with "I love this club"," I regret ever leaving", " the fans are the best" etc etc Fwiw, I wouldn't want him back and would stick with NA. With that said, would any of us object to his skills in the transfer market, and Jordan and Bond working with our defence (assuming they all come as a package)?

What over reactionary b*llocks! He is a proven manager with a good track record & the only reason he f*cked off before was due to Lowe meddling & trying to get involved with the managing side. Redknapp realised the sh*t he was promised wasn't sold as seen & departed. Fans over-reacted massively imho. I'm not saying I want him back but some of the responses we had were ridiculous. You only see what you want to see. Some say that is happening now with Adkins &, to be fair, I am fast losing patience with Cortese's alleged lack of respect for Nigel. Lack of respect for anyone. Seeing Nige only as a physio. If he's not trusted enough to be allowed to manage, bring in someone who can be allowed to manage, despite how much I like the guy.

doggface Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 He is an absolute media whore and full of ****, however his record is very good apart from with us.

AussieDog Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 I don't believe in "win at all costs" and bringing that cheating skate back is tantamount to that. I can still remember the interviews he gave when he was a manager - all he ever did was whinge and whine about how we weren't good enough (fair enough, it may have been true, but it's not exactly a good motivational tactic is it). I can't ever recall him looking comfortable in the job and I don't see how that would change now - and that is aside from the rumours of brown envelopes and offshore accounts. The only positive I can see from it is I'd get a good nights sleep at the weekend because I wouldn't be up half the night watching Saints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammysaint Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 Hate him for what he done, however like with England i said i wouldn't support Redknapp as manager for country unless he got us to the semi finals of the euros, so il be supporting the team rather then redknapp and if redknapp keeps us up, i would then forgive him only because it will benfit the club so much by him keeping us up and if he does the media lover would help us bring in big names, redknapp has proven with money hes quality without it hes poor. In a ideal world, we beat spurs sunday and nigel stays but for me anything other then a win and hes out, and rightly so no manager in any job can get away with reporting losses most weeks.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 Di Canio is completely the wrong kind of manager for Saints, especially if the rumours about NC controlling the team are to be believed. Also, he's not that good a manager, he has had a very high budget compared to other sides in L1 and L2. The best comparison to him is Paul Ince at the MK Dons.

The best comparison to him is Paul Ince at the MK Dons. interesting that he is wrong because he had achieved wuth a high budget, does that not equally apply to adkins? for what its worth i think we should make a decision today and stick with it. Nc needs to stick or twist but not dawdle for weeks until change is too late. i would keep until the end of the season regardless personally but if he does feel a change is the right move do it know to give the max chance of success.
