The Mirror: 'Tensions over transfers saw Adkins sacked'
Smirking_Saint replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Meh, Reed is good at what he does, the academy, technical side etc Cortese is good at being a hard nosed negotiator. The guy identifying the targets though is mitchell and his team, a team you need to give credit to NC and LD for setting up as I think they have made good signings so far (the ones they have). You are missing the point though by just ignoring whats actually going on through your anger at Cortese and everyones hate figure Reed. The important thing is the whole club needs to work together, not have a manager and committee fragmented. -

All in all I would say the Mirror are the paper who footballing wise, if the reports about us are anything to go by have their finger on the pulse more than others right now -

Dunno, I think Pochi knew, I certainly hope he did but in a way it makes the Adkins situation worse, identifying targets behind his back is frankly insulting if it were just the committee let alone the new man too. Problem I have though, honestly, is as much as I disagree with not involving the manager how can you argue with Ramirez, Forren and how Yoshi has turned out, you can imagine it... NC - here is your new player Manager - you signed another one ?! Who ? Where does he play ! You bunch of c.... Oh, he aint bad.... Im sure i can fit him in -

Dunno if it is a case of malleability of not TBH hopefully he trusts the new man enough to listen to his input, but that leads me to say, if that were the case ? Why wait til Jan ? -

It even seems worse than that though, its crazy. It was as if the committee who I imagine was Cortese, Reed and Mitchell (as I cant imagine Reed or Nicki having the grey matter to identify targets such as Clyne, Ramirez, Yoshi, which on the plus side means we could have a decent scout here) signed whoever they wanted but ALSO they let Adkins do it aswell ?!? Surely it was one or the other FFS ? Apologees BTW, I had asked many times whether Adkins was involved in transfers and always met with a yes V reliable source, which leads me to say what a man Adkins was as he obv kept this under wraps -

You know me Lets just hope the new guy is involved and can use some of his contacts. Aswell as the 'committee' signing players to fill the positions we need. -

This for me shows that we DO need a committee but it HAS to involve the manager. I am a staunch believer in the committee but everyone needs to pull the same way. This for me shows that A. Adkins probably didnt have his finger on the pulse recruitment wise, some of his signings (forte) werent good enough etc B. A committee HAS to involve the manager as ultimately he has to utilise the players -

As I said in the summer and this window, Saints going for targets out of reach. This is shocking if true though, but fair play to Adkins he kept it from coming out, certainly wasnt well known -
