Give it to Ron

But the problem with that is it flies in the face of the OS: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2148505,00.html Southampton Football Club ("the Club") wishes to make clear that it is continuing its discussions with a number of potential candidates for the post of First Team Manager. Contrary to some highly misleading comments published this morning, the Club has made no ultimatums, has not made any approaches without appropriate permissions, and is fully aware that appropriate compensation payments become due where the candidate managers are currently under contract. The Club has acted in an entirely professional manner and will continue to do so.

I initially posted that in response to believing that we wanted Adkins to resign without paying the compo and there was a bit in the OS posting about permissions that I feel is a bit odd? why include that when Scunny stated we had been given permission? Now there are so many stories coming out ...the latest being from BBC about him going home that who knows what to believe. I certainly do not trust Cortese 100% - I realise what his objectives are but am worried by the way he does this. In football you need contacts, relationships and good will how else will you buy/sell or loan if you have p1ssed everyone off. Perhaps the Scunny chairman has played a blinder here and kept his manager?

Were you saying the same when we got Burley's comp?

So we shouldn't of got any compo for Burley then??? Fck me the double standards on here are a joke! FF good post and with you all the way.

I am still waiting for the answer to "he is a yes man" ;-)

Well O'Neil would of left in 2012 anyway when Capello left ;-) I wanted Mowbray...and am concerned as to whether he will get the respect of the players like Fonte but time will tell. Its only results that will gauge whether this is the right appointment. Remembering the home game against them when they played us off the park I am clinging to that. Rather Adkins than the circus of managers that go from club to club like Hart, Dowie, Megson etc.

Hoddle was on Talksport yesterday and said he was still concentrating on his academy. His academy have taken over a second division side Jerez? where he fields all players from his academy in the league side.

....also look how well Redkrapp did before he came here and since he left.....its only here he was sh1te!

Who are a league above us. Of course us taking Stockports manager was fine when we were in the Prem.

So how long would MON have stayed once a big Prem job became available?? We would of been at the Pardew/Hoddle/WGS stage all over again. It makes me laugh when I keep seeing him called a rookie....when he has been managing at least over 4 years....how many managers have we had in that time?

Virgin Media still won't get a signal....

So they dont have fax or email in Switzerland....are you saying Cortese is the only person that can put up something on the OS?

Its not Svennson....horses mouth!

Really...mine is Wilkins...and the " we have asked him to continue for the forseeable future as we believe he deserves the chance...." B/S!!

A long time ago now...in fact in one bar we were in Julian Dicks, Dowie and the West Ham team were in it eatimg KFC from the bargan bucket! They were over on summer tour. We played at Clandeboye GC which was accessed through the roughest area I have been through...burning cars, anti-Brit murals, road blocks etc but the course was absolutely superb and the people brilliant. Politics are deffo out...its like most big cities really keep your wits about you and have a great time. Jurys is a decent hotel as well or was. If you see a tin passed round.....put in some ;-)

Go for a beer here http://www.crownbar.com/ its brilliant. Been on loads of films and great character and decent black stuff as well. Been a while since I have been but remember some decent museums.....although I went with a big group playing golf. It was a lull during the troubles and was stood in a hotel having a beer when someone said you are in the most bombed place in Ireland....The Europa have a look its on stilts and they just repair it everytime. 99% of the people are friendly and you wont have any trouble as long as you don't act the plonker. One of my favourite places for nightlife on a Saturday night.

About half of them the lazy fckers.......only joking ;-)

This will turn into a yawn fest where Haye wins on punches thrown ...all 6 of them to Harrisons stumbling 3. Why is Haye avoiding the Klitchko brothers? Easy money against Audley?

Andy us old Redbridge boys usually do have a way with words.....most of them ending in off all fashioned by that git Challands! I have known Nick for over 40 years and although don't always agree with him ...especially about loveable old rosey cheeks he has at least tried to do things for the good of the fans...unlike some on here who can only whinge behind a keyboard. What I find funny is that everyone knows he has a site yet bravely none post there .

If he was there last night and left this morning via the back exit perhaps he had an away match?

One that it won't be is Hoddle...when asked on Talksport whether he was interested in the Villa job he said "no - the timings not right as I am too busy with my academy". One gutted Norwich deluded forum nitwit will probably now be in tears after this!

Oh god no....he is an awful manager, I would much rather Phil Brown than him and I think he would be a massive mistake.

Well not being funny but how the devil would they know that....information out of SMS is harder than getting a POW out of Colditz. No-one knows anything and thats how it should be....just wish they would announce it and let the whingeing begin.

Nomad????
