We've been dealt a **** hand (in terms of losing our beloved manager) that's undeniably true. But what we don't do is lose the plot and act like kids and throw our toys out of the pram, because let's face it that would just be an embarrassing thing to do. Especially for adults. As we are supporters of Southampton Football Club. The only logical thing to do is support Southampton Football Club and this new guy.

Apparently not, which is concerning. Blackmore said he'll be doing the presser with an interpreter.

Our most successful in... how long? It has been a pleasure watching Saints under your management Nigel. Very sad to see you go. One Nigel Adkins

Yes. You should sit on your hands and have no opinion about the club. That's what I said.

If anyone does any moronic protests or chants against the guy new/NC during the game then yes... we will be exactly like Chelsea. OR..... we could get behind the new manager as that'll help him and the team. Crazy idea I know, but just throwing it out there.

I love you alpine. I was not expecting that response from you, as I completely agree with it.

I wonder if his "you're asking the wrong man" response when asked about Forren after the Chelsea game was about todays events also? Probably. Feel very sorry for Nigel.

Disappointing indeed, but unfortunately not surprising given the sort of people who frequent this forum and the sort of people who are football supporters in general. Not the brightest. Gutted for Adkins and Crosby, and really shocked at this decision, but fully behind the new guy. It's not his fault Adkins got sacked. Bit concerned that he can't speak English though.

There aren't enough face palms in the world for those people who want to protest about this. Football fans are hilarious.

yeah, "he took us to the Premier League"... obviously.

maybe pochettino somehow has the rights to the next messi and he'll bring him with him? cortese is a f*cking genius.

Everytime I've seen him he's done well. He's got good close control and a decent passer. Not going to set the world alight, but another good signing from Adkins.

Anyone want to tweet Matt Le Tiss to tell him to remind that pillock Merson on Soccer Saturday about his prediction that Lambert wouldn't score 10 this season? Would be funny to see, although he'd probably just say they were all lucky or he will claim penalties don't count.

He's joking!! hence the spelling of Adkins. chiiiiilllllll

every day. and i wouldn't dream of it being any other way.

I like Bournemouth, no idea why they have a problem with us. Very strange fans they have.

indeed. it's going to be very tight, especially with Reading's run of fixtures at home like you say. i think we will go there and beat them though, for what it's worth.

bit of both. fairly decent player.

bit of both. fairly decent player.

a midfield of Nehemie - Cork - Morgan - Ramirez for Saturday?

could still do a very god job for your lot, to be fair

Would be great news if true as Adkins didn't want him here in the first place and is another Cortese purchase. So this would be a step in the right direction to getting Cortese's influence out of the club and we can focus on signing some real quality like Danny N'Guessan.

yeah because taking advantage of the Italian market is a terrible thing... nigel was clearly really ****ed off when we signed ramirez. i bet he'll be livid if/when we sign astori/coutinho/this guy too!

I also heard this rumour but it wasn't just two players it was the whole team, everyone going at each other WWF royal rumble style. Adkins had to try to break it up but in the process he accidentally headbutted Dean Wilkins who was tying his shoe laces at the time. Dean Wilkins then picked up a brick which was lying around and threw it at Don Cortese who poked his head through the door to check what was going on... then Jim Stannard calmed the situation by doing the gangnam style. Miltonroader07 is bang on with this rumour

If we can sign him without putting us in the sh*t like pompey are now currently in, then go for it, would be amazing.
