Dr Who?

I think it would be pretty hard for anyone to get on with him, but he lasted longer under RL than AP lasted under NC. Long enough to get us back on course for the 5 year plan!

I would love it if he came back, but who knows if it would work here again? Completely different the last time he was here. But WGS main thing is fitness and that is what we seem to missing at the moment. Along with quite a few other things really!

I like watching the NHL as well, but nothing is quite the same to being at a live game. Not sure why it will not take off on tv over here, as it is exciting, high scoring and fast paced! Anyone seen a game in the States or Canada? Next time I go to New York I want to watch the Rangers.

not so sure about Hoddle, but WGS would be amazing, but cannot see it happening!

The only reason I talk about promotion from the championship and then life in the Premier league is because that is the line we are being told by our chairman. The 5 year plan is what he has been going on about since he has come into the club, so why not aim high? We are led to believe that there is plenty of money to supoort what we are trying to achieve, so why not push the boat out and sell this 5 year plan to a higher standard (level) of manager on the back of this plan. We are now in year two of this plan and do not have a manager. I just think we should be able to get a higher standard manager on the back of the current status (Financial and expectations) of the club. I also wish that people would stop calling other fans arrogant, as we all want to achieve what the chairman has laid out for the future of SFC and we all want this to happen. After all this is what being a football fan is all about, we all have different ways that we believe we should achieve this. But at the end of the day we ALL want Saints to get back to the Premier League. Can we just agree to be a little split on how we should do this but whoever it is be 100% behind them?

I agree with this post 100%. Did we not bring Rednapp in as he had a great record of wheeling and dealing to keep teams up? But Ssouthampton were the wrong team and the wrong set up at the wrong time for him. It does not mean that just because you do a good job for a 'smaller' club that a run in a completely different way that he could walk into our club and do the same. I do not think he is the right man for SFC at this moment in time, but as i have also said he is probably our best choice unless WGS, or Kevin Keegan want the job. I still think KK with Shearer would be good. Also without knwing who else is on the list I cannot really make the choice who would be best, but from what we are led to believe then Adkins is the best choice of what we have on offer.

Before you have a go at me for my last comment I need to point out that I LOVE Costa Coffe and if you look at my other posts then you will see this. Just never knew there was a Costa coffee at the airport until a week ago and now it has been mentioned about 20 times. On a serious note this does need resolving and perhaps we will hear something today if it is true that he is in town, but you have to see the other side of this and the amount of people that have been spotted at the airport over the last week, and at the moment I find it hard to believe anything I read on here, but that is half the fun. If you do not keep it light hearted in here sometimes you will go completely crazy! I think we can all agree that we need a manager in place asap, and it seems that Adkins is the best choice, even if he would not be my choice.

Yes but did he have a Costa Coffee?

Adkins seems to have a strong loyality which is very strong and rare these days. I think Adkins wants to do things the right way for Scunny, which I think is far enough, but if they cannot sort out the amount we need to pay them then let the football league do so. I think there is more to this than meets the eye and others are in the frame for the job.

Oh and no we have never and will never be as good as ac Milian

I am more worries that the players we have could go and play at a higher level, so if they are not motivated by Adkins they will be off. IF they are like that then off they should go, if they do not have the best interest and fight for the shirt of SFC. I am worried that this will put us back another year as he builds his own team. Not saying he would not be good enough to get us out of league 1, but maybe not with the players we have. Of course I am only guessing this may not happen at all but just what I THINK will happen. Also he has no experience of getting teams into the Premier league if and when we have to try and do so!

I am sorry but Adkins is not the man for the job in my opinion, but I do beieve he is the best we can probably get. This seems like a step sideways or even slightly backwards from AP. I think if he comes in he will have to build his own team and if that is the case this could mean this season out of the window and we will be looking at next season to go up. I think the type of players we have will be looking for someone to come in and that they will sit up and take notice. Wrongly or rightly our players will not do this with Adkins IMO. He has not got the experience at this moment in time. We do need someone who will come in and the players will respect, but I do not think we have the pulling power to do this. It should not be like this but the players of these days are like this, and if we get Adkins I think most will want to leave in January, and on the pitch already it looks like most of them are looking for the exit, and perhaps they think it is going to be Adkins, and that is even more worrying. I think if Adkins comes in then it goes to show what a good manager (not person) that we had and we will not better him for experience and how well he did last season. Not pining for him but for some reason I did think we would get a Keegan, or even WGS back to really get the pulses racing!! What was I thinking??

Into day 13 now..... I really should try and get some sleep!

Brilliant!! ha ha ha

We have kind of gone off the boil since the final whistle at Bristol Rovers!

Nope someone in the first half beat you to it!

Get 1 and the floodgates will open...... I hope! Not sure why I really think it will be 0-3 but I do.

Still going for the 0-3

Yeah they heard it is Brown, and they are playing to look for another club!

Last week was my first home game of the season, but really I do not think you would pick any of them. Might go to MK in the week though.

The friends I have that live in Southampton tend to go to home games, and I always get my fedback from them. I normally do away games, but have MUSE at Wembley later. I go to one home game a month and as many away as I can. More of an away fan but for north, east, london and midland games.

Now I live away from Southampton would you recommend Saints player or is there another way of listening to saints games?

Because the kit does not clash?

Sorry but my team in Scotland.... do not ask but 3-0 after 9 minutes, wish Saints were in that position!

Started well!
