well at least we won't have to listen to the same tired idioms week after week and the avoidance of any question requiring a straightforward answer. Just put up the training ground videos and leave the yap, yap, yap out.

don't know him as a man but his press conferences had become crap in the main.

well yes, of course I have because certain aspects of his tenure were highly criticable. Not going to go over them again and again. He was a reasonable manager but his loss does certainly not justify all the caterwailing going on.

I noticed that as well, I've said a few times that there seems to be an awful lot of wastage from our academy and that there are certain positions that we don't seem to develop at all well. Left back...tops, CB ..inexistant.

what we will probably see is something similar to the formation we used at Chelsea with Morgan playing in front of Cork and maybe another DM, pressing higher up the field, was that an Adkins system or a precursor of the Pöchettino era ? There will be less space between the front recoverer and Gaston and they will play in a sort of tandem role.

Torres is burnt out, just wants to go back to Spain. Gaston is far younger and has all his career in front of him. Torres is 28, he's played over 600 games of football, an average of 60 games a year from the age of 18 onwards, that's a fantastic career for a player of that age but now he's finished.

Joan must be the Catalan version of Juan I suppose, loads of them, Espanyol's president is called Joan as well. Perhaps he made them all change their names, perhaps all of our players should be called Nicola.

Ramirez is supposed to be our playmaker and he's no doubt very good at it, just got to use him correctly and stop sticking him out on the left to be able to play JRod and Lambert.. Misuse of Gaston probably really riled NC.

Make a fast buck ? Have your personal fortune depleted by a couple of hundred million you mean. I'd say to date owning Saints has cost M Liebherr and his estate somewhere around 100 million and it ain't going to get much better at any time in the near future.

Spanish clubs work in a strange way, most of them elect a president (chairman) every x years or so. Espanyol got a new president a while back and the first thing he did was fire Pochettino and put his own man in.

doesn't have the credentials. NPC at best, mid-table. Nowhere is he going to stumble across a side with quality like he had when he came to us. After that it was just a bit of touch up work. Lambert,Schneiderlin,Puncheon,Lallana,Fonte,AOC he's not going to get a side like that gifted to him again, nor the money for Cork,Sharp,Jos,Fox etc.

not a good squad at all, young yes but lacking real quality, good defence though, rest not so much.

when we know very well that at least one of them does and that he already has an interpreter versed in the ways of the team.

they're pros, not many of them will care who the manager is. Some might even welcome the change because they didn't feel that they were going anywhere fast with Nigel. At least we won't have to put up with any more Adkins f*ckwit press conferences, circles within circles within spirals, not to mention his quotes from the Art of War.

I'm sorry but getting promoted from League 1 and the NPC with a massive budget mean nothing to me. I could have got us out of League 1 with that squad and any competent manager could have got us out of the NPC with the players he had at his disposal. Believe it or not some of them are bloody good, they're holding their own in the EPL and keeping us out of trouble. NA is an adequate manager who has been handsomely rewarded for the success that he has brought to the club. I think he had a contract until 2015 or something so willno doubt be receiving a handsome settlement. But when you don't know how to use Gaston Ramirez and JRod correctly you'll eventually get the boot. When a first class keeper is put at your disposal and you carry on with your favourite hack you eventually get the boot and a big pay off..

yes he did

So ? Are we not entitled to our opinion? I've been telling you it's been coming for weeks, if you don't listen that's no skin off my nose.

It was down to players who are as they are with or without NA and his coaches. Natural player talent is the only constant in football unless you've got Sir Alex as manager but crap coaching has ruined many a promising player..

He has been given a chance and found wanting. It's just the courage of a few players and a couple of lucky reffing decisions that put us where we are today. The penalty at Villa (which I still believe was for a foul on Punch) and a couple of misses by strikers in front of open goals are all that are keeping us out of the relegation zone after a massive investment. What got Nigel the boot more than anything were the points thrown away at home to Swansea and Norwich. He's paid for his keeper choice since last summer. This is it, believe it.

Why ? It's just a paid employee of a football club being given the shove that he's looked like getting for a couple of months now. Why be sad...I really can't understand this at all. Loads of good people get the sack every day, do you feel sad for them all ? Angry, perplexed, disappointed maybe but not sad.

He doesn't have the credentials to manage Liverpool as yet. His PL record with a good squad isn't great. Won't get another PL job for a couple of years yet, unless it's Reading of course.

not to be a pedant but disgusted isn't an adjective it's a compound verb. I am disgusted A disgusting decision.

the "owners" are a myth. Cortese runs SFC as he sees fit. There are no "owners" just Cortese.

which he used extremely badly at times, it's no use spending 12 million £ on a mercurial midfielder if you have a clown in goal.

me neither, it's been coming for a while, none so blind as those who won't see.
