Saint Garrett

I want Adkins back

Do you not have a heart FFS ? He is Southampton FC. Everything about him is what we're meant to stand for. The bloke is a legend. My best times as a Saints fan by far.

Fair enough. Going to be so weird seeing Nigel in charge of someone else. Just like seeing your ex girlfriend with her new boyfriend. Horrible.

Oh right so just idle speculation really. 1+1... Was Coutinho at Espanyol with Pinocchio?

Where is that from ?

You say that, but these 4 cost about £6m altogether. Cork is worth far more than that now.

Yes probably.....Cortese doesn't seem to care about the fact that we're doing alright. He can't have actually expcted us to get in Europe first year !?

Adkins will probably go to Villa and keep them up at our expense.

There is ambitious and then there is plain deluded.

But if Cortese leaves...what then? The Liebherr family pull their funding and we go bankrupt? I know he's a bit of a **** but i'd rather still have him as chairman than be back in admin!

Think it was a joke MLG....

Maybe it's because Guly was taken off on Wednesday.

Exactly my thoughts as I read it. Surprised how 'pro cortese' that article is after everyone in the footballing world thinks this is a ridiuclous decision.

Norweigen press.

4231 probably, it's NC who decides anyway according to some...

Can the 'One Nigel Adkins' thread be merged with this one. Top ****ing bloke.

Very very odd for them to announce the deal at that press conference, especially because it is clear that our MP has nothing to do with the deal. I thought that maybe they were going to get him to come into the press conference, a bit like Remy did at QPR, but it was kind of a side comment, and nothing official. Im guessing it will get all the pictures/video/interview all up on Saints website in the next few hours, but still very strange.

To be fair, there has been a few things in there about Adkins leaving (Di Matteo/Gross etc) which were dismissed. Which makes you ask the question, how close were these to joining ? I remember someone saying last summer than if Di Matteo wasn't given the Chelsea job, he would have been given ours. Ties in with NA's interview after Coventry, him knowing that he was probably not going to be given a chance in the Premiership. I'd love to hear it from NA's side, but i'd be surprised if that happens just like Pardew. The Mirror clearly has a few ties with Saints though, as things seem to be broken by them first. Especially Nixon and John Cross.

He spoke with 'his friend Mourinho'. Now can we have Ronaldo please ?

Cortese has told him that his name is Southampton.

So, MP has said that we have signed Forren. Yet still no word from th club about it. What is this ****ing shambles. Asked who recruited Vegard Forren, MP said (with a smile): "Southampton". #saintsfc

My quote may have been made up...

MP "I don't know who Forren is, I've got no idea about this deal"

I think it's actually just hit me that he's actually gone. IT'S ****ING RIDICULOUS.

No chance of winning now.
