I can understand your reticence, but I really think he will be great for us NOW People are still living in a Dream World that we arestill in the Prem and can attract Prem Managers Adkins is Street Wise for DIVISION ONE, where we are ATM, and knows what is required to get us UP to the CCC When he does that, as he has experience of the CCC, he can consolidate our position there I think, in our present circumstances, he IS pretty much the Best for us

What does Adkins need to address first ??? An envelope to give to Nicola, just in case he needs to be sent his P45

1 Players must be made to Realise They are massively underperforming ATM 2 Players must be made to Realise They are massively underperforming ATM 3 Players must be made to Realise Thay are massively underperforming ATM

First priority ??? Change the strip back to a SAINTS Kit RED AND WHITE STRIPES

Could you honestly see Strachan getting on with Lowe ???

The wonderful New Kit makes them look like Ten Tampax at a 30 deg angle ( Matches what is currently inside the shirts I suppose )

Not the first Team to suffer Just ask Manure what they thought of their GREY kit

You mean "passing" as in walking by OR "passing" as in moving the ball from one player to another (preferably on the same side ) ??? If the latter, I'll review when we get someone who can do that

Plus 125 years out of date Let's get back to being SAINTS, in RED and WHITE stripes

Cortese could be waiting for Strachan to become available

Yup, in about two matches time, Middlesborough will get rid of him I wonder if Cortese will drag out the Adkins Compo until then ???

If Adkins is still sticking to his "Principals", then, though I admire that quality, I'm afraid he is only deluding himself Football does not have any principals in this day and age The only thing his "Principlals" stance has done, is give his Chairman (Wharton) mor amunition in terms of the asking price The best thing Adkins could do is WISE UP to the real world

Agreed, and the reasons for that has to be laid at Pardew's door, as he was the Manager at the time. It is now painfully obvious that we ARE lacking in some key areas Where Cortese must take some blame is ALLOWING the situation to "drift"

KIndly provide a list of "possibles"

One thing the Scunny Forum agree on though They do NOT rate Crosby Baraclough is far better. in their opinion Apparently, Wharton won't let BOTH go, so I gues we'll end up with Crosby ( Negotiations are still continuing for Stills, Nash and Young )

Afraid not

There is an even better joke at Sc*nthorpe THEY don't want Adkins up there any more Hope he's got a job come Monday

And the reason that he was got rid of ???? Do tell

Yes, that IS the case, and always WAS the case The players have always been aware that Dean was not going to be the next Manager IMHO, it would have been equally wrong to install Adkins to be in charge v Swindon, for LOADS of reasons Whatever the result tomorrow, we move on from THAT, hopefully with Adkins installed to start on Monday, by being introduced to the Saints Squad

Yep And the only remaining candidate willing to come is Phil Brown Enjoy the moment Nicola

Yes indeed He is trying to burn the candle at both ends All he ever had to do was say he was, or was not imterested, as Eddie Howe allegedy did Having second thoughts once he got down here does nobody any good IMHO

He was not going to resign, on principal I suggest he takes a look at his Clubs own Forum ....... he may very well change his mind PDQ

I know exactly what you mean I did my Achilles in rushing a copy of the train times to him

I just cannort see Cortese falling into the trap of NOT having someone Absolutely nailed on in advance It has been stated that the Departures were "Non Football Related"

Just like that ??? All secrecy blown to hell ?? NOT the Cortese way
