Sour Mash

People always question managerial decisions, I don't think he got everything right and have stated that at the time. You get Man Utd fans moaning about some of Fergie's decisions, doesn't mean they want him out. And you're trying to rewrite history there - the loud vocal backing of Adkins came when we were at our absolute lowest this season - it was first class support and what supporting a football club should be all about.

Not entirely true. They may not be the only ones in modern football to do it, but hiding in the shadows, conspiring for a change of manager for weeks, while the current one is grafting away lacks morals in my book.

Several weeks by the sound of things.

I'd suggest you look at the poll at the top of this board. It's pretty clear.

Ah right, you must have missed our whole away support at West Brom, QPR the Northam most home games singing his name throughout.

Why? Adkins hasn't exactly been shy in terms of getting academy players involved in the first team set up.

No, there weren't plenty on here, just a vocal handful. And as you say, those at the games completely backed Adkins. It's no 'faux emotion' people are genuinely p*****d off with the decision and have had enough with.the way our club is run.

Hardly anyone was shouting for Adkins head either on here or at matches. The vast majority backed him, even at our lowest points this season. And of course we would still be here without NC. It's sad to see that some really do accept absolutely anything the chairman of their football club does.

He did. Lives a bit south of Winchester I believe.

That's a fairly mediocre record to date.

But that's not what you said. How is Saints fans protesting at the game "self-promotion"?

No. We've got a good team that are just about finding their feet in the Prem and we've just notched up some decent points on the board.

We were never going to go under ffs!

Sums the bloke up. Absolute class.

Just watched his press conference. F**k me, his team talks will be hard-work going on that.

You haven't really answered my question. Do you think that Adkins was the right man for us this season?

No it didn't. The vast, vast majority of posters/fans wanted to keep Adkins, even at our lowest points this season. Don't make things up.

Do you think Adkins was the right man for us this season?

2 defeats in 12 is struggling to get to grips? Protesting about the Glazers hasn't done Man Utd too much harm on the pitch has it?

Here are a couple of articles that sum up Cortese; http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/nigel-adkins-sacked-southampton-manager-1544359 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southampton-sack-nigel-adkins-the-writing-1544510

Your loyalty to Cortese must be admired, if only NC acted the same way towards Adkins...... Absolutely anything for a sniff of the Champions League.

How on earth is it "self-promotion"?

According to The Mirror article, Adkins found out by seeing it on TV - that speaks volumes about NC.

Your thoughts on that? You can probably guess mine.

Absolute clown. Plenty of threads already discussing this anyway.
