Telling for me was the Adkins comment last night that saints are in the bottom 4 now and need someone in quick as well, I think he knew he would be joining us and was speaking as a Saints man or then again that maybe was just me! Whatever welcome Nigel!

If we hear nothing at/by 1159 or at 0800 tomorrow would think the deal off and NC should look elsewhere

Yep but he's only got to hang on 4 months and he will be back there, this guys on loan and getting paid very well for it. I'm more concerned with the 11 that started yesterday than some loanee, who has failed to make an impact.

I'm sure he already is, taking in the Howe fiasco, trouble is bad enough being no 2 but no 3!

Adkins will quit then if he wants the job, and it will go to a tribunal surely

Somewhere someone is telling the truth, think we are all get too sceptical. I believe Pardew did go for unrelated football reasons, NC has in fact gone up in my estimation over the last 2 days, could of done without the Howe shinnanigans though

Doubt if he's coming down here then if he's done a press conference up there

Won't be Atkins now though will it!

This club ia an absolute embarrasment, really thought NA was a good appointment, so what now we start again I think a few managers who've applied may be having second thoughts as well, plus Wilkins in charge for sat and another defeat

Adkins seems a safe but good choice but where is the wow factor and whats Shearer doing at SMS then

OK so its Dean's balck and black army again on sat oh no!

So they will be 4 points behind us, 2 games and they will be back in front again

Exactly an easy target can' see anybosy else on here doing anything else but moaning

Fonte was at fault for 2 goals but was still one of our best players says it all really, thought Butterfiled did well again and some bizzare sub decisions, why take oxo and connoly off when we are chasing the game take it wilkins got a text from corstese to get guly on quick good decision mmm

I heard he let people walk all over him

What and resigned 2 games into the season!

From a commercial/ sponsorship side of things this is a bad move by Cortese and in the long run we have far more to lose than win. Perhaps he now realises this but having the rhino skin of RL will go ahead regardless

A cross between Ali Dia and George Lawrence, come to mind but willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt so more verging toward Chicken George rather than Dia

4000 sold about 1.30pm

Can't believe we do not have somebody already lined up, this makes AP sacking even worse. I've lost patience when it is reported that no announcement may be made for a couple of weeks. Though NC was supposed to be such a professional, he is now making this club a laughing stock

BBC South report that Saints do not have a replacement already lined up, getting ever stranger

So a draw against Orient and defeat against Plymouth have got AP the sack??? Otherwise surely he would of gone during the summer. So NC must have someone now in mind that was not available during the summer, this applies to O'Neil & Zola

Great win and MOM Lee Barnard again! Just heard from my Ipswich supporting mate at how poor James was today for Bristol City, so Saints win 4-0, skates lose, bmouth f it up and Engalnd look lkike stuffing the pakis at cricket, a win for lewis tomorrow and what a weekend it is, now just need to do the lottery!

Short memories, I remember many a game at the Dell when the crowd were right on the players back, when things were not going right, just think back to the branfoot days and a certain abuse Steve Baker used to get playing in the full back position, the latter fully justified IMO

I'm not convinced with Jaidi or Seabourne or even Martin at this stage though has potential so can see AP going after another CB
