No, it really, really isn't. The next Manager we approach will be PROPER ****. I think this is the end of me and Saints this season. This is just one too many **** ups, and one too many disappointments. It's ****ing embarrassing.

Because if they were being unreasonable then Adkins would have resigned.

Exactly, Rupert could be funny.

Be interesting to see in a poll who would come out as the biggest tosspot and most unsuitable Chairman.

The biggest issue I see is that I can't see who would accept after being 2nd fiddle to Adkins. NC, you are ****ing our club up.

No, you're a dreamer. An optimist would assume a semblence of reality, which you clearly don't.

OH MY GOD, Shhhhhh. We know what your argument is, anyone can get it, we just don't have the finances or financial model within the club to do it, so...

Yes, but I would also put O'Neill as a far more elite Manager. Potential future Man United and England Manager...

That's the going rate for a top class Premier League Manager.

Sorry, you'll need to explain that to me. And the rest I'm not even going to acknowledge. I think you are over-estimating thee money that is earmarked to be spent on us, and what football managers and players use to motivate them. For instance, if we can afford that to spend on a Manager, why didn't we try and bring in Premiership quality footballers, for instance Thierry Henry. Obviously he'd be interested cos we could afford him. Or David Villa. Or Kaka. Or Messi. We obviously have so much money available to us ANYONE would be lucky to join us.

Why the **** would we offer a Premier League salary????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You guys are mental, we are meant to self sufficient, yet your talking about paying £3m a year for a Manager.

I think we should have a poll on what level of manager people think we deserve. Then we can divide the forum into groups. Those who blatantly know **** all about football and thus can go on ignore, and then those that realise that we are a League 1 club that won't attract the best Managers in Europe.

Great appointment. Very highly respected. Prefer him to a 'big' name. The people who are saying that he isn't what we need clearly know **** all, and are probably saying this as Wikipedia doesn't have as many lines on him as it does the bigger names. Just cos you hadn't heard of him prior to 3 weeks ago doesn't make him **** / unsuitable for the job.

rofl!

Adkins wastes no time in trying to do what his predecessor did by blowing a kiss at Mrs Fonte...

'Imagine you are Cortese'. Ok, let me get into character... I'm a little Italian ***** who seem to like antagonising fans with acts of sheer stupidity. And so I'd go for Brown.

I wouldn't say he did nothing wrong, because that is blatantly untrue, but I don't believe he should have been sacked and especially due to the timing of it, I feel we are weaker without him than we were with.

To be fair a few of the ignorant ones were saying the same of Christian Gross. Unbelieveable.

There is no scandal, unless the fact that Cortese didn't want Pardew to be Manager was a scandal. His decision may have been facilitated by an argument between the two, but the sacking was always on the cards from what I understand.

Bloody hell, NC is NOT going to be happy. I hope he doesn't try to take on Sky now, as they own our website. I'm sure they'll have no issue taking it down...

Attention seeking ****. I thought one had been announced.

Not true.

I've got to say I don't like him commenting on Saints as if he represents the fans, BUT, he is actually an alright guy.

Pardew DID NOT sleep with any of players wives. He was sacked due to results and the fact that with Liebherr dead Cortese could sack Pardew easier.

We ALL like his wife.
