Life goes on. I was a huge supporter of NA when some were calling for his head. At no point have I ever wanted him replaced. BUT these things happen in football... Adkins left S****horpe for us to better himself, he got rid of our old skipper to Brighton after double promotion to better the team. As Adkins himself says, be the best you can be and that is what SFC are striving for. When NC became chairman we could only dream of transfer battles with Liverpool over players and £10+ million signings. Now we have a new training facility, Cat 1 academy, Premiership football and possibly some more top quality European footballers. NA played a key role in this and will always be remembered for what he did for the club. Now we move on, support the new gaffer and support the team.

So if you can't speak the language you're not fit to manage a team........ so Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich is gonna be a disaster?

Seconded.

NA has been a great servant to the club, led us to two promotions and got us on the way to premiership survival. Did he deserve to go.... probably not at this present time but he was certainly on thin ice. Nigel will get another job and I have no doubt he will be very successful. I will be writing him a letter to show him that I truly appreciate what he has done for the club. BUT... Dean Hammond was deemed not up to the Prem, Billy Sharp was deemed not up to the Prem, Dan Harding not up to the Prem. NA cut these players so he knows what a ruthless game football can be. Was he looking at other midfield targets before Hammond moved on, was he looking for other strikers before Billy Sharp left? I would say yes but all you conspiracy theorists would say NC makes all the signings. I am excited about the future of the club. We have a young manager, money to spend and a good squad.

It seems a no win situation for NC and NA. Don't buy and get accused of a lack of ambition and investment. Do buy and get accused of irresponsible spending in case we go down. If we had Harry in charge then I would be worrying about any signings but I've got faith in the management we have. QPR have signed Tal Ben Haim the geriatric mercenary and we have got a young, talented centre back. Know which I prefer.

I think that some fans have been spoilt over the past two seasons and have completely forgotten what a struggle it is and always has been in the Premiership. In the previous regime we got through a significant number of managers and had we not had somebody of the quality or loyalty of Le Tiss we would have been relegated far earlier than we were. Some may say that the changing managers kept us up but I feel that this merely led to our demise and administration. A manager comes in, get in his players on long term contracts, gets the boot, new man comes in, gets in new players. The end result is a squad the size of a small army with many never getting a look in. Nigel has brought us this far and with a style of football that many fans don't get chance to see. I am not ignoring the fact that the defenders we have are shipping goals left, right and centre and an unstable GK position. I totally acknowledge that if we carry on as we are we will be relegated but I think it will change. It is a sharp learning curve in the top league and unfortunately our defenders aren't learning fast enough. However, it will happen in time and changing manager won't make it happen any quicker. At times over the years I have found it quite embarrasing how Saints have chopped and changed managers and gone for cheap internal appointment or cheap foreign appointments. We have a good manager who is new to the Prem as are many of his players, how about we give him a chance to prove himself than sacking him and getting in some cliched top flight appointment like Redcrapp or Keane or Benitez. Give me Nige any day.

Time for Punch to go off and Chappers to come on. He may not offer as much going forward but will provide more cover, plus JP has been poor on the attack.

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints Saints can confirm the signing of Polish goalkeeper Artur Boruc on a free transfer until the end of the season. More to follow. #saintsfc Expand Collapse Reply RetweetedRetweet Delete FavoritedFavorite

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Want to know how close the Ramirez deal is? Bologna, #SaintsFC & player have all signed paperwork. Just one signature away from completion.

I am hoping that this drawn out affair results in us getting our man but I am slightly concerned that if it does all fall through that we have spent a whole lot of time and attention on this one player. Any other players we may be courting may not appreciate the lack of focus they have been getting and subsequently look elsewhere. It would be a shame if the deal does fall through, along with it the opportunities to have got some other players through the door. Just hope we havent put the vast majority of our eggs into a Louis Vuitton basket!

Cov fans don't feel too confident . . . but neither do many Saints on this forum. http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/16595-Live-Saturday

Reading drawing 2-2. Roberts sent off on 45.

Well done, you saw it coming, bonus points to you. Its not happened yet and if you were a real fan you wouldnt be on here all smug and content at watching saints lose. Proper knob!

I am not a doom and gloom merchant by any means but I can't belive how bad Harding has been. Poor and to blame for the first goal, no better now on the left. He gives the ball away far too much and gets done for pace far too often. Not a knee jerk reaction to tonights game, I thought this in previous seasons when i was a season ticket holder!

I think he sounds promising. Any players that has had a grounding at Barca must have something about him. http://www.itv.com/sport/football/news/profile-iago-falque-spurs-new-signing-14213/

Spanish loanee

Not sure it would be Lee as that has already been sold to the fans. Is he simply teasing us or is Forecast off?
