Yes indeed, and you can add Nige Pearson to that list. In fact, I feel the same way about Adkins (if he is appointed) as I did when Pearson was appointed: cautiously optimistic. As opposed to when Gray, Wigley, Dudd/Gormless and the Dutch duo were appointed: complete despair.

What had Pearson achieved before he came to us? Not that much.

Oi! I resemble that remark! http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?25020-New-manager-announcement-tomorrow&p=837976#post837976

False. We were in disarray when he arrived and free falling to relegation. In an incredibly short time he installed confidence in the players and pulled it around, and in the end achieved 1.23 points per match (W3 D7 L3), finishing on 54 points. Leicester were relegated on 52 points, a record high amount. It is a complete myth that Saints were lucky to survive. No team in the history of football anywhere in the world have been relegated on 53 points, yet alone 54. And we all know what happened when he joined Leicester, proving his (Lowe-loving) critics completely wrong.

"Your response illustrates perfectly why it would not be in his long term interests to come to Southampton. For sleeping giant read dead parrot." :lol:

It is believed that Portsmouth lodged the paperwork for his transfer 15 minutes too late for it to be registered by the FA and Premier League. Discussions are still taking place between Portsmouth and football's top brass to find a loophole. Which is the only thing they're good at. Cheating, lying bastards.

If so, let's hope that HMRC have now had enough practice not to bugger it up again (and they get a judge other than Injustice Mann or the tart who let them off the first time).

Cheats FC will find a loophole for that too.

H-T 0-1. Good England performance so far. Rooney has been outstanding.

At least he can do something about Ricky's weight.

Vancouver Canucks.

And they bloody well better not be.

The sorry chain of events leading to our decline would never have started if Lowe hadn't got rid of Sturrock (1.3 points per game = 49 points per season) and replaced him with the buffoon (Gray II) and then Mad Milan's agent.

From the title of this thread I thought it was going to be about Cheats FC.

Junior or Senior?

Ditto Pearson.

Nice fight back, but Lancs win by 3 wickets. Warwickshire........ p. 15 ....pts. 144 Hampshire............ p. 14 ... pts. 133 Kent ..................... p. 14 ... pts. 126 Essex................... p. 15 .....pts. 118

Good point. But at least Howe isn't a proven failure like the bookies earlier favourite Hart .

84/5 (21.0 ov) But Chanderpaul still there.

Maybe that's NC's cunning plan. Feed the Hart rumour, so that we'll be happy with anyone else who's semi-decent.

Not even Nasty Nige?

"I'm pretty committed to where I am at present, so on Saturday I'll be an Exeter City manager." So he's committed to staying there for at least 2 more days.

And celebrating in the streets in P********h

Longer than Hart's. But I'd rather have him as manager than Hart.
