Born In The 80s Posted 1 March, 2011 Share Posted 1 March, 2011 Possibly a wee bit premature, but judging by how Pardew was sacked by Cortese, maybe the knives are sharpening for Nige already? Now i have no inside knowledge whatsoever, nor am i basing this on anything other than guess work, but Roberto Di Matteo has just been sacked by West Brom. He worked with a playing squad there who i believe a very similar to ours, with plenty of skill and abilty in most areas. With Cortese's Italian connections, i wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if he is tempted by an approach for Di Matteo. Perhaps in the same way West Brom couldn't help themselves when Hodgson became available, Cortese looks at Di Matteo as a guy who could really be the one to take us up the football league. For me, i think it's a perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 1 March, 2011 Share Posted 1 March, 2011 I've got no concerns about him. He's a good manager, he's going through his first real bad patch with us. Our form has been top 2 for most of his time with us until the last few weeks.

Jack Posted 1 March, 2011 Share Posted 1 March, 2011 Tactics all wrong tonight, despite us being very unlucky not to take the points. NA always bangs on about playing the right kind of football. Last time I checked, the long ball over the top at the first opportunity was not 'the right way to play football'. Also I don't understand how we can start the game playing 3 central midfielders and still lose out in the middle of the park. Also N'guessen is pony.

Lighthouse Posted 1 March, 2011 Share Posted 1 March, 2011 Muppet. For a start, Pardew wasn't sacked for his results. Clearly there was something else going on behind the scenes (and Christ knows we've had enough suggestions on here) which meant he had to go. Secondly, despite tonights result Adkins form has been pretty good since he's been here. Thirdly, this is Saints. They've served up naught but disappointment for nigh on a decade. We wont get promoted, regardless of whether it's Adkins, Pardew, O'Neil, Fergie or Mourinho is charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made to look worse because of our bad start under Wilkins and Co I love the way sweeping statements are made by people who don't go to games. Duncan, that's a sweeping generalization akin to "All trade unionists are militant, left wing nutbars". As I've said before, I've heard some incomprehensibly stupid things said at games by people with season tickets. Even after time for sober second thought, regular attendees will come on here and post utter nonsense or disagree diametrically with other posters about how someone played. Being there isn't the font of all wisdom and perspective. I think it would have done you more justice if you'd taken issue with something in S-Clarke's post rather than throw that cheap and shallow argument out.

S-Clarke Posted 2 March, 2011 Share Posted 2 March, 2011 (edited) I love the way sweeping statements are made by people who don't go to games. So you just made a sweeping statement yourself, how do you know how many games i've been to? I have been to most games under adkins, not all away, but that's such a stupid post to make and I expect better from someone like you. FYI I don't have a season ticket because I couldn't afford the upfront payment, but I have been to every game anyway. That must make me a super duper fan!!!!! And what was wrong with my post anyway? It's totally true. For some reason certain people don't like to admit it. I like to look at results rather than performances by the way, and in results terms this is our first bad patch under him. We have bizarre fans. Edited 2 March, 2011 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a CEO who has a very challegning 5 year plan and is therefore very results-oriented. If you all think that a frisson of doubt isnt already going through NCs head, you are very naiive. It IS too early to be having this discussion. But if we fall out of the top 6 AND waste our games-in-hand, I fully expect NC to start drawing up short-lists.

If some people on this forum were our chairman we'd get through 20+ managers in a season I believe we have averaged a new manager every 10 months since around 2000 to now. Nigels been here a while so his time must almost be up. The thing is in a higher league at any other time if we were 5th we'd all be really happy. Down in league one it seems like faliure all things taken into account people are frustrated. Sacking Nigel won't make any difference though we'd all just be frustrated with the next guy instead.
