Dr Who?

Looks like they know the shortlist!

I still think IF Liverpool approached us and NC said Adkins could speak to them, but then did not get the job, he would get the sack. NC has a plan and has given the man his break, and wants NA to be part of this. If he even indicates that he may be interested in leaving, he will be gone one way or the other.

The football he gets his teams playing is the 'Liverpool way' ball on the deck and passing, not the losing 9 on the spin.

Wash your mouth out, he is going to spearhead the England attack to Euro success. Hmmm

He will not be taken on.

No they did not

Liverpool fans want nothing less than the title, and that is where the problem is. What comes of dominating football in the 70's and 80's.........over 20 years ago. Just not that good anymore.

Never ruled out Martinez. Do think they will land a big name. Still think Lambert, Rogers, and Martinez wiould get a look in before Adkins. Lee Clark no way! They will 100% take on a big name or another premier league manager, cannot see the someone at the club route. Can you imagine the meltdown if they took on a manager outside the top flight? As the scousers are going nuts over Martinez! I can say i am not concerned about Adkins leaving for Liverpool, as it will not happen!

LFC seem to be throwing curve balls and trying to get the press off on one. They will not employ a mananger Who is not a big name. No way. Just keeping the net wide, or so the press, and Saints fans think! If they do not employ a big name and a manager with experience I will eat my hat.

The perfect answer!

He has thrown in his line, and waiting for a bite.

Owen?

We are talking football today not 30-40 years ago.

Man u sir Alex not really a gamble at the time as football had changed so much Man City - went for big names as soon as they knew they were big in money terms and now on the pitch. Arsenal - Arsene Wenger well not a gamble all those years ago and a good choice after what they just had! Chelsea - always gone for big names since they have been big, but Di Matteo could be seen as a gamble, but I do not think he will get it. Liverpool - always had big names at the club to go with 'tradition' Newcastle is really the one that stands out. A league 1 manager being taken on and doing excellent after we all know being at Southampton. Everton moyles, but again this was a while back now. You will find a trend at these clubs that they bring in the big names, or employ within, in the case of Roy Evans, shearer, Zola, with the latter being big names at their clubs. but Liverpool may look at how well pardew has done, but I doubt it. I think all the top clubs could be getting it wrong with big names, but the need for instint success more by the fickle fans than anyone, this will be the route they take. If they do gamble it will be the Martintez, Lamberts, Rogers, and even Brian McDermott that would get a look in first above our man.

Now I have read it all, it is defiantly more entertaining than the tv box!

All this to one side Liverppol fans will only settle for a big name. Adkins will never land the Liverpool job. He will be lucky to get any better than he has at the moment. IF he does well next season, and lands mid table with us, 'big clubs' will not come in for him as they aim for the 'big' names. Adkins falls into the same bracket bracket as Brendan Rogers, And Paul lambert. Liverpool will not come in for these either. Adkins is not even a proven premier league manager. So all this is a little premature, and let's throw it out there hypothetically, and say Liverpool took him on, the fans would be on his back right from the start, and it would be a massive gamble that the board just would not take.

Oh yes, and I have already visited a few Costa coffee's in the area to see if he is there. The rumour is he is going on holiday, but really the only flight he will be on is to Southampton!

I do just want to clear this one up. IF Liverpool offered Adkins the job, he would be gone like a shot! They will not even interview him, so not that likely..... ...... We also will NOT sign Owen!

Jesus is this thread still going?!

Ha ha ha not even going to read all of this. Not a chance of Liverpool taking him. Are you all completely nuts, and PT, put your 20 back in your wallet!

With the craziest open credits ever!

Yep our tree is naked of All the blossom, but will see what happens late summer.... Not looking good, but normally have so many we give them to the neighbours. Like to make a good pie!

Well spotted, this happens quite a bit on the OS.

What is this ticket you talk of? I have 3 children 10, 3 and 4'months. If I get a season ticket can I get a free one with mine for the 3 and 10 year old under the last season rules?

This is true, as I think they used to go on general sale or at least to members (RIP). I suppose a lot of season ticket holders, just go to ALL the home games, and not the away. I don't know! But if I want to go to Man U at home as one of my 5 a season, then I am screwed without a season ticket.
