Has Dean Wilkins got the worst starting record of any Saints manager?

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

I know he's only the stand in (well I presume he is!) but 3 straight defeats, 6 goals against and none scored is pretty sh*t. Anyone know if any of our previous managers made a bigger hash of being appointed?

He needs replacing rapido, he doesn't know what he's doing. Wilkins OUT!

whilst i agree with you it is hardly his fault, until we know, which may be never, what went on with Pardews departure we are just guessing

[S-Clarke]

I feel sorry for Wilkins, he's been thrust in at the deep end and he's clearly drowning, but it's not really his fault.

 

He's a good coach and i hope that he is kept on in some capacity when Adkins comes in.

[rocknrollman no2]

Didnt Dodd and Gorman have a similar record?Cant remember those two winning anything.

Maybe he shouldn't have taken the job? Miles out of his league .... at when we're near the bottom of L1 that's saying something.

did he really have a choice?

[TijuanaTim]

...er HELLO!!...yeah, we're bottom of a p!ss poor Div III. Ted Bates is currently turning in his grave FFS!!

[egreog]

Probably!! Who cares??!!

[sadoldgit]

I bet he wished he'd been caught sha*ging too!

[countysaint]

Just back from the game.

 

I watched Danny Wilson spend the entire 90 minutes in his Technical area, giving direction and leadership to his team.

 

I looked for Dean Wilkins, but sadly no sign of him giving any direction whatsoever.................Although I doubt he could have given directions to the team bus in the car park to be honest!!

Answer to the OP question............If he hasn't got the worst record then something wrong must have been recorded in the history books!

[RobM]

Wasn't WGS' starting record pretty dire too? Could be wrong...?

Dean 'Jimmy Osmond' Wilkins, got to where he is now by association...if he was Ray Weston's brother instead of Ray Wilkins he'd be lucky to be a sponge man in the Commercial Houses league FACT!!

[RobM]

Anybody who ends their posts with FACT should be ignored.

Can't remember, did we lose at home twice and to Rochdale and Schwindon???

Anyone ends with FACT, rather than anyone that compares WGS in the Prem with Dean 'Jimmy Osmond' Wilkins at the bottom of Div III??

 

Two words 'Really!!'

I bet you wish you'd said that before replying to my thread to try and backup my thought? lolsmilyfacewinkything

 

Not that I actually compared them at all, as you know.

[lordswoodsaints]

It is p!ss poor but it's hardly his fault....it is Pardews.

[RobM]

Can't it be the players fault? They know DW is only caretaker, they know they are soon to have a new man in charge and they are supposed to be professional football players. Is it impossible for them to take some responsibility and up their game?

it would be just like us to appoint him as manager a la Steve Wigley, watch him disintegrate, and f*ck up a perfectly good coach. Just saying...

[BGF]

One thing that worries me is that most of the new managers we have had have taken a long time to gel with the team so I dont expect any good results for a couple of weeks.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Wilkins is doing his best,which is **** poor admittedly, but I dont think all the players are, and I bet they're paid a damn sight more.

We rarely benefit from new manager syndrome so I think that's a fair expectation.

[Topcat]

Well Les Reed has a better managerial record than Wilkins with a 14% win record....

[jam]

D&G lost about 5 on the bounce including the FACUP loss to Bristol Rovers (a division below).

oh, how the mighty are fallen

[dune]

Instead of always blaming the manager have a look at the ****ing players for a change. They're supposed to be grown men and professionals but you could have fooled me.

[sandwichsaint]

started with a 3-3 H v Ipswich IIRC?

[Badger]

I think Lew Chatterley was in charge when we (as a 1st Division/Prem) side were dumped out of the FA Cup by Port Vale (Div 3 in old money).This was after Branfoot was removed from office.

Totally agree with Dune on this.

[saint_jas]

I bloody hope he is replaced this week by someone who knows what he is doing.... hmm, may have to check odds now and see what promotion is.

[RobM]

Since when has 10pm on a Saturday night been too early to be drinking? You're not doing very well tonight fella.

I had the same thought actually... got to be worth a couple of pound? I also managed to get a sneaky bet on Adkins being the next manager the other day, when speculation suggested the offer had been withdrawn and the odds went right up.

[Kingsbridge Saint]

We need to get shot of him as soon as possible as the players have no respect for him, and won't play for him.

Scene at NC’s office Monday 8am :

 

NC: Miss Money Pound do you like my new large Italian flag?

MP: Yes Nicky it looks just great on the wall above you – no one could possibly miss it!

NC: And Money, please show that idiot ..... I mean Wilkins in, grazie.

NC: Ah Simplekins, mattina. How was your weekend?

DW: Very good thank you God Father, I mean Mr. Cortese Sir, I mean Sir Cortese, no no I mean Lord Cortese ... I think?

NC: buono, buono. Actually mine was merda, grande merda!!!

DW: Oh really what happened?

NC: Never mind that I have MON waiting in reception, so I will get to the point – YOU ARE FIRED!!!

DW: But but but, sorry I don’t mean your backside – but I did everything you asked of me??

NC: che cosa (what the ****)?

DW: Well you asked me to keep a clean sheet and show some goals, and I did that in all three games.

NC: stupido!!!! Even a football virgin like me knows you have to keep a clean sheet for your team and score against the other team !

DW: Well for a Swiss you certainly weren’t precision enough in your instructions! I think I have a good case for unfair dismissal

NC: Buono, sue me in the Swiss courts, now vaffanculo ciao !

[bpsaint]

He's currently level with Stuart Gray on worst managerial starts,who bizarrely also lost his first 3 games 3-0,2-0 and 1-0.

[Deano6]

37 replies to finally answer a very simple yes/no question.

[Saint-Fred]

Well he has shown steady improvement 3-0, then 2-0 then 1-0 perhaps MKdons will be 0-0?

[saint lard]

He can't wait to step aside,it seems......

If Ty-Phoo put the tea in Britain, who put the c*nt in S****horpe?

[saint lard]

Dean Wilkins, caretaker manager at Southampton, is hoping to hand over control of the first-team soon - saying that Saints lack confidence and quality in depth.

 

The South Coast club were defeated 1-0 at Swindon Town on Saturday. They had hoped to appoint Nigel Adkins before the game, but were unable to agree financial compensation with S****horpe to secure release from his contract.

"We were on top in the first half, but we're just finding it hard to get our noses in front. I know everyone says we have got a big squad, but you have only got to look at the options on the bench when we go a goal behind, it becomes difficult then," he said.

"We started the game brightly, a lot of the work we did this week you saw in the first 45 minutes, but we can't score and that's been our biggest problem.

"The situation at the club needs to be sorted out as soon as possible regards a new manager.

"It would lift the club, it would help everyone at the club concentrate on their job and stop all the talking that is going on the at the club at the moment."

Adkins said after S****horpe's loss to Bristol City on Saturday that he hoped to have a resolution sorted before Monday.

He has agreed personal terms, along with assistant Andy Crosby, to move to St Mary's. An announcement seems likely on Monday morning.

Should that happen, Ian Baraclough is likely to be appointed caretaker manager ahead of Tuesday's trip to Sheffield United.

I thought everything was rosy, everyone was happy, all the players were behind DW and nobody is really thinking about the managerial situation?

 

At least, that's what the OS said...
