Only Adkins, Crosby, Wilkins and Stannard have left.

Is what I said not true then?

No, I say it because without him we wouldn't be in the Premier League wondering why we sacked a manager. We'd either not exist or still be in the lower leagues. People were like this when Pardew was sacked, Cortese's plan worked then, why rule it out working again so quickly?

"An idiot" who helped save the club from oblivion or years in the lower leagues and instead guided the club to the Premier League 3 years after taking charge.

The standard of English teachers on Portsea Island is appalling.

He won La Liga manager of the year in 2011, beating Mourinho and Guardiola.

We had similar reactions and threads after Pardew was sacked after beating Bristol Rovers away 4-0. I think people are now happy with Cortese's decision aren't they? He now wants to move us onto another level. He could well be right again. What won't help is undermining the new manager during games with chants about the man he replaced or Cortese. The players won't play well in a negative atmosphere. Just look at Chelsea under Benitez at Stamford Bridge.

It means a video interview and article about the interview will go on the OS and Saints Player later today.

No...

You can't change the mind or wishes of a deadman.

See Colinjb's post above.

Educated guess given Cortese was a driving force in getting Liebherr to invest. The only way I think Cortese will leave is if the club is sold.

If Cortese goes, so will the financial backing of the Liebherr estate. People were like this when Pardew went, Cortese was shown to have made a good decision picking Adkins for the job of getting the club from League One to the Premier League. He has now made his next "big call", seemingly because he wants the club to go up to yet another level.

Playing Devils avocate. For all the great work Nigel Adkins did he had the 7th highest net spend in whole of Europe this summer £33m+

He played for 3 years in France with PSG and Bordeaux, so should be able to talk to Schneiderlin.

It'll be on Saints Player later today in full. A shorter version of it will also probably be put on the club's youtube channel.

Crosby, Wilkins and Stannard have left aswell. Rather worryingly, his translator?

Quite often when a game is close to an appointment the backroom staff have a big say in the tactics/team selection. With Crosby, Wilkins and Stannard all sacked as well, Pochettino will be starting from scratch on Saturday when he takes his first training session for Monday's game.

Link to these reports?

If you really feel the need to protest, do it before and after. But to do it during the game when we all want the players to perform is just daft.

We took 6,000 to Palace last season.

So not Atkins, what about Adkins?

He was sat directly behind the Saints dugout next to Paulo Gazzaniga.
