Dr Who?

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!

0-3 I think the score will be today. COYS

Just wondering if any of you follow Ice Hockey? I have been following the guildford Flames since 1996 when I moved there for a couple of years, and they used to clean up on all the trophies at the time. Used to watch every home game between 1996 - 1998, but have only been a few times since. I find the sport very exciting and fast paced, with many goals always good for all the family. PS - It is not the BNL any more it is the EPL

I was at work in Reading for Dura Automotive. We heard the news from our boss, but back then did not have access to the internet as workers, but our boss kept popping in. It was not until 5pm our time when I finished and started the drive home that it all hit home, and when I got home to Southampton I just sat there watching the TV for hours on end just could not believe what was happening!

Ok should have read the echo report first. Seems like Adkins was left alone to get on with training yesterday and get everything ready for his last game with Scunny. NC will be back for today's game and will probably open talks again tomorrow. But you could also read into this that NC really is up to something and has someone else in mind and my reject Adkins at the last minute for this other person! Amazing what you can get out of reading something, but would you really let a manager just get on with his business while you put everything on hold and fly off to Switzerland?

Day 12 in the big Southampton house. With regards to NC being in Switzerland. I think the deal is done all signed ready for Sunday or Monday. Adkins will have his big farewell today and will then join Saints. NC has done his part now so he will be back tomorrow or Monday so that we can have a press release.

Propped up by working tax credit they will be fine!

Toshack into 3rd place on skybet now!! We have a clear winner though according to them.

After listening to that I think it is far to say that HE thinkis he is on his way, but does NC have some kind of ace up his sleeve. As we know what has happened this week is NOT the way that NC conducts his business.

If the manager has agreed terms and is ready to come and join SFC surely his agent is not needed to sort out what we need to pay Scunny? The agent will be needed if their are still issues to sort out with Adkins and sfc with regards to his contract? This worries me even more about the deal.

All seems a little bit non professional football these days. Normally if a manager wants out then letting them near the team for one last game does not happen? Something just does not sit right with me on this deal anymore!
