Worth saying this is just people bickering on a message board. Far from "doing nobody any good whatsoever" , it is simply of no consequence whatsover. It certainly has no impact on our football team. None. I think you might need to "grow up" if you can't grasp that.

You utter gimp.

Why can't the move on brigade get on with fu cking moving on and stop starting threads telling the rest of us what to do. You want to move on? Fine. Fu ck off and move on then. See ya.

The people saying WHO to Nigel Adkins two and half years ago were few, and they were all fuc king idiots. Adkins was well known to anyone who knew even the rudiments of Championship/L1 football. Saints had played his team. So nice try John Smith but your premise is built on bull sh it.

Of course. I think we are closer to the endgame than some think. This club will be sold at some point in the next five years, possibly the next three. And to that end I remain convinced the Leibherr/Mali/whatever funding tap is off, and Cortese is spending loans and current/future TV revenue chasing his dream. But the end of the dream is not glory for Saints in itself but Cortese flogging "CL ready" club to the Arabs/Chinese/Russians. That's his vision. The Leibherrs are way way back on the back seat now. As long as NC doesn't fu ck it by relegating us, they will leave him to it. So to that end, the Leibherrs don't care about our first team coach.

This is your line of argument now - Adkins deserves the same level of appreciation as Paul Sturrock? Or even better, "all sacked employees". Mick Wadsworth, say. Fuc k me. I know you feel the need to type and type and type and type but maybe you should slow down and reflect on the fact that pretty much every single one of the hundreds of poorly written sentences you contribute on here are absolute guff.

We had no such choice, this is just your usual hyperbole grounded in zero facts. "No club" is just fantasy land stuff - was never going to happen. Secondly, no one ever voted for Cortese. So there was no choice. If you're going to whine about journalists, best not make sh it up while you do it. La la land.

Do you seriously think the players dislike Nigel Adkins so much that they would be instantly conceding goals to Everton should anyone dare to chant it? Hope the Northam sing it long and loud. All match.

One for rain and one for freezing conditions in the area. Highly unlikely a game will ever be called off for a frozen pitch alone. If the roads are safe around the area the game will go ahead.

This should be a sticky. Great work.

You really don't live in the real world, do you? You're just a freaking oddball.

Err..Bates is on the way out. He won't be appointing the next manager.

Spot on. Will upset the "pragmatic" Cortese hero worshippers on here though. In five years time Cortese will be a distant memory. Forgotten and not missed.

Like who? I think some are a bit annoyed that Nigel Adkins has been written off after quite a lot of successful balls have been kicked. This desperation on here for the media to start gushing about what a masterstroke this all is is nothing short of mental. We've sacked a good man for no reason and replaced him with an unknown. The media, like most normal human beings, don't actually think this is a brilliant move by an undeniable genius. If you want bland unquestioning "super Saints are simply super" spin, then my advise to you is never ever leave the official site. You'll be safe there.

Thank god we've stayed up. I was worried we were in a relegation fight. Well we're not. We're going up up up. We've signed a Norwegian or something. We're on the rise. We're loaded. Take that evil media!!!

This. It's been done. The club have been texting and emailing to flog tickets for Monday suggesting we are not "constrained" by our tiny little stadium after all. Anyway I'm not getting into it....!

Are you being neutral then?

Eyes down for bullsh it bingo everyone. HOUSE!

They were all sacked with Nigel, I belive.

Not sure many think he would get a Prem job. Leeds or similar would be about right. He has some history with Wigan I think, that's the only Prem club I can see him getting. But Roberto is going nowhere soon.

Pretty much. We had actually earnt some breathing space, so the pressure would have been off if dear old Nigel was in charge. That's all changed, and the pressure in this game is pretty huge now. How utterly pointless.

Did he? Apart from two lines in Gerrard's autobig about how vewwy lonewey he felt on his first England away trip, what else have you got to suggest what you say is even remotely accurate? Can't recall anything myself.

The original Lawro piece on this match from Friday morning was actually about what a fine job Nigel has done. It's been changed in light of revent events of course. You wallies can squinny on but everything Lawro says is fair enough. Had you heard of this bloke on Thursday evening? If he'd just been unveiled as the new, say, Villa manager would you be on here calling him "the next great world manager"? I'd wager not.

Cortese has just sacked one of our most popular and successful ever managers. Cortese is currently trailing Lowe by eight to one on seasons in the top flight. Lowe season one: 12th. And Lowe didn't need to spunk the kind of money Cortese has sloshed around.

Well, his track record is amazing. Two Europa Cup wins back to back. Taking small unfancied La Liga club into the top three and the Champions League. Fantastic reputation as one of Spains hottest managers. Oh. Sorry. That was Juande Ramos.
