Not had the pleasure yet for one reason or another.....but it seems you think Mills is better - correct?

Q.E.D

Maybe you shouldn't.

Anyone who uses that word to insult someone has got to be lacking in a certain amount of intelligence, as well as a social conscience. To the subject at hand, a player I would love to see in a Saints shirt one day (soon).

Drama queen or what?

I don't need to know- I am not the one being paid to select the next manager. I am just trusting the judgement of the person that is, based on what he sees as the correct way forward and how the potential candidates have come across in the interview. Saint Lard reckons that Cortese didn't get on with Pardew "from the word go" and therefore must be crap at interviews. LOL. Where is the evidence of that? We don't know why that appointment failed do we, other than he said he "had no choice" a couple of days ago. When did I call you a moron? However, if you want to spout off about all the reasons why this is going to fail then carry on. If you think that is productive then good for you. IMHO it is small minded.

I very much doubt that you have any idea what is within his capabilities and what is not. I expect he barely registered in your conscious before now. You are doubting him based on what exactly? Personally, if the Chairman has selected him after interviewing various candidates then I am prepared to give him a chance.

Your spelling or the football?

Explain this rather odd assertion.

Very profound....it had never really dawned on me before. Thanks.

I agree. Managerial appointments should be made after, and only after, gaining a thorough understanding of that the candidate will achieve in the future and not what they achieved in the past. Clairvoyance and a crystal ball should be the tools of the trade for any self-respecting chairman. It is outrageous to suggest that Adkins should be given a chance to prove himself at SFC ....Adkins out - small minded loons in!

"I am not good enough for this outfit....I hope they don't send me packing yet!"

"loses" HTH

Complete nonsense. HTH

I wanted to see Saints play Coventry away in the FA Cup in the early 1990's and nobody else wanted to go - so my missus volunteered to accompany me (no kids in those days). She stuffed a coat up her jumper to look pregnant to get us through the throngs quickly - it actually worked. During the match she was astonished that all these grown men (and women) where chanting like schoolboys. She was particularly gob-smacked by, and I quote, "brainless chants like 'Shearer, Shearer'" being crowed by adults while waving one of their arms backwards and forwards in time with the chant - pointing at the subject of their adulation. Shearer, by the way, scored a penalty in the second half to get us a replay. I tried to point out that this was normal behaviour for adults at a football match. She took the view that people who did such things must have had some sort of lobotomy and couldn't believe that it was normal. She genuinely thought that all the noise you hear while watching football on telly was just added by the broadcaster for effect, a bit like canned laughter in a **** sit-com. I must admit, I have been extremely self-conscious about singing and chanting at a football match ever since. She has never bother to accompany me again - she prefers more intelligent company on a Saturday afternoon....like the kids.

All at the same time? Were they all female?

Eh?

Impasse = no future in it (even if resolved).

I was going to give you some serious grief for that post....but too many people have beaten me to it.

Well said. I, for one, am perfectly satisfied.....and relieved it is not Tangerine Man.

ffs !!

Precisely, that is what I was thinking when I said "Total ********" in my previous post :-)

I am trying to think of a polite way of saying "Total ********" but I can't.

More complete nonsense. Brown would be no more or less likely to attract players than Adkins. Players are more attracted to the money they might get and then the ambitions of the club than who the manager is.

What is the point???
