Thanks for the article Chris, good work

Well, if you have only seen that interview and read or heard nothing else about him, then I can see why you came to that conclusion.

Very highly regarded internationally. Forget for a moment how ****ed off you are at Cortese (which is understandable) and realise that we may have actually hired a good manager.

Even though at first I thought it was a mistake!

No, it was a game plan and a good one.

Absolutely. Gutted for Adkins but now is the time to get behind the new guy. By all accounts this guy is the mutts nuts, could be the start of something great.

Good. I still can't find any evidence of this though... help please!

Of course this is correct.

Is this actually true? I've had a quick look online and can't find anything.

Once a skate always a skate.

Still nothing on SSN

I haven't heard them mention it...

yeah. that's what I thought. We FACKIN want CORTESE OUT YOU MUGZZZ!!!!

Time for the face palms...

Good to see most people are being pragmatic about this actually.

Agree. NC's track record is flawless when it comes to the big decisions. So there is no reason to believe this won't be the same. It could go horribly wrong, of course it could, but there's f*ck all we can do about it now. One things for sure it's never dull being a Saints fan.

I think it has been fair to say for a long time that all our signings are committee based. We all knew that though, didn't we?

If we starting spending 90k a week on loooooaaaaaddds of players then we should question what's going on. Otherwise, our situation isn't really comparable to that of the fishy few.

Very good point! Actually, screw what I've been saying about protests being a bad idea... get them in quick before MP learns the lingo.

Yeah, fair enough. Losing a manager and a potential new signing on the same day would suck more though.

Sorry to talk down to you. I guess for me mate it's just a complete disbelief that people would actually consider protesting/shouting abuse/getting genuinely angry because the football club which they support has changed their manager. I love football, but that sort of reaction just makes me realise how insane football fans are.

Can't believe Adkins didn't get the whole season. It was the least he deserved.

As professionals you'd expect them to... but they are footballers after all so an odd bunch. We'll see. Definitely a huge gamble from Cortese.

My sentiment was quite clear. Get behind the new manager. Anything else will be foolish. If you're incapable of behaving like a civilised adult then please keep your protests indoors and away from the general public so nobody else can see you.

reeeeeeaallly hope this guy still signs.
