Come on, let's face it. Neither Stuart Gray or Steve Wigley's management record was as bad as Nigel's in the Premier League. The time for sentiment is over. Nigel can still have a part to play at Saints but we desperately need to bring in someone to take charge of the team, tactics and selections. For me it has to be Redknapp if we want to move forward.

I'm sure the return of Howe to Bournemouth and on the doorstep is an additional pressure onto Atkins to produce the goods. I'm sure the Cherries are going to be right there to loan Saints players who had links with Howe and Burnley. Good for Southern football if only we could rid football of those cheating bar stewards down the M27.

Another dead leg injury. What are we doing wrong in training.

With the injury list ever growing, I believe we are going to rue the day we loaned out Billy, not to mention Martin. We were in too much of a hurry to reduce the salaries following the close of the transfer window.

According to the forum rules duplicate threads on the same topic weren't allowed and Admins use to close duplicate threads. I get the feeling someone has an agenda and enjoys seeing the forum filled with repetitive and negative threads about our manager. Bar the Poll the majority cover the same rant.

Please, please, there is no way even you could be forgiven for comparing Reid or putting him in the same category as Mourinho

It's Les Reid that needs replacing by Harry Redknapp. Needs someone who really knows football at the highest level. Not a guy who's never even played a first team game in the lower leagues.

It's not so much Nigel but the inferior input he's getting from the Stooges that sit with him on the bench. Any game where the bench is shown just lets one see what is the reason the decisions are all wrong. Most of the time they shown no interest in the game. Bring in back up personal with top Premier League Know how.

I am certain that pre match postings in the local media and on forums saying we're sold out, or only few tickets available tend to put off those planning to but at the ground or last minute. A blackout on such information would see people queuing on the day, something it seems that givibg pre match info tres to AVOID.

We are going to find as in the past, having overseas Internationals in the squad, especially Asians. South Americans and Africans is going to cost us real big. They are going to be absent or of little effet for 2 games for every one game by Home International or European players. Thought most did well considering Ramirez, Clyne and Mayuba were away. Fonte would do well as a striker, adding additional defence when games get tough. Can't see games getting any easier and ADKINS and his 2 Stooges really have their work cut out for him. Why the hell was Puncheon and Ricky taken off when we needed goals. More insane substitutions

For your sake I had thought to put INAPTKINS but thought he deserved another week or two. As older members will tell you Ted wasn't against taking a defender and moving him further up and adding another defender in defence. More recently Kenwyn Jones who came as a centre back got moved to the wing, to a striker position. Fonte has talent, tho many don't see his abilities.

All I'd like to add is that Ted Bates in our current situation would have moved FONTE up in attack and would have had a goalscorer and an additional defender all in one. Atkins ought to be taking a look at this proposal. Can't get any worse that the defence and substitutions he is making week in, week out.

Saville wasn't the first, won't be the last well known personality carrying on and getting away with the abuse. I recall the Stones, in particular Charlie Watts indecently assaulting under age school girls during concerts in Southampton. Even Cilla Black prior to her concert with the Beatles was having a real laugh stuffing her hand down underage schoolboys trouser fronts at the stage door. No one said anything back then and I tend to think the times have changed. This has to be the reason the likes of Saville got away with all he is supposed to have done. Love your suggestion hypochondriac, been a long time since the dead were dug up and hanged for their crimes.

Good post Saint Richmond and sums up exactly the situation we find ourself in, I might add that I believe Atkins uses games he doesn't believe we can win to give players a run and experiment instead of putting out the strongest players and tempting to win,

There is no loan window for Premier League clubs. Been answered a number of times. Only players out of contract are available before the transfer window in January.

I'm sorry but some on here had us believing the likes of Stuart Grey, Steve Wigley just to name two could lead us to the Promised Land. Both fine servants of the club but just incapable of making it where the Premier Level was concerned. Expressing concern isn't disloyal, treacherous or whatever, just people are allowed to post their concerns in an adult manner.

I guess Ricky would be bobbed off to be loved by a Rabbit.

Older members will remember my run of comedy posts on Lowe and Cowen boosting our transfer funs by doing exactly what the Handballers of Montpellier are reputed to have done. Don't tell me this is unique, it's a nasty and well used basis for regulating financial difficulties, "Harry handling" Asia's betting is run by agents working with the top clubs back in Europe.

Good post. I think Nigel is only trying to get Rodriquez to play the type of game Ricky has played so well, able to play out on the wings, to take the heat off being held too tightly in the middle. Ricky has it down to a fine art and switches constantly with ease during a game. I was furious at seeing the opening line up but it seemed to work till Everton switched on full power. Even in the second half we only seemed to play better once they took their foot off the peddle. Puncheon could and should have come on in the 2nd half. We could have got a draw. Nigel has to build on good line ups, not do what he did in the past. Once he knows what he's doing then he can tinker. Had the feeling today Nigel was still on the training ground and didn't up his own game. Too laid back. 6/10 and not wonder he looks nervous and Cortese seemed far from happy,

Spoke to a Rangers friend this week and he told me S.Davis disappears for long periods in games or for a number of games on the trot. When he's up for it he plays really well but it's when he plays bad he leaves one really disappointed he's so inconsistant,

What players could be motivated by Adkins and his stooges lying back on the touchline. Where is the Nigel who gives as much as the players from the touchline. Failing to replace the useless Rodriguez by Puncheon ensured we didn't stand a hope in hell of pulling a goal or two back. Switched off, just couldn't see more of the same old ****e due to Adkins losing the plot again.

Personally, I think your first move should have been the reporting to the police. I'm concerned he could take you to court for posting all this personal info in public. Nowadays the victims have no support before the law. Now it's in the police hands you'd do well to have this thread removed.
