Crab Lungs Posted 26 January, 2013 Share Posted 26 January, 2013 Well it lasted for over 2 years after the date of that interview. Depends on your definition of "long term". I think Adkins was always viewed as the man to get us out of the Football League, had we finished 8th last year in the Championship he'd probably still be here. He achieved too quickly for his own good, and now the club rightly or wrongly wants a new manger to take the club to the "next level". In other words, Cortese is trying to "fast-track" our progress?

SNSUN Posted 26 January, 2013 Share Posted 26 January, 2013 Guly speaks out. Exclusive: Guly whips it out for his fans, only in the Sunday Sport. And GT. It'll either be a Cortese interview or a Pochettino interview. I'd rather it be a signing though, I loves a good signing, i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Bob Posted 26 January, 2013 Share Posted 26 January, 2013 (edited) @SimonPeach: It seems The Sun have not spoken to Cortese. Sky Sports News at #SaintsFC every presser so can't complain about their access. So is the interview in The Sun a different one then?

Red And White Barmy Army Posted 26 January, 2013 Share Posted 26 January, 2013 Well if we think about it - the SSN interview will be something we can pretty much spell out already so no transfers, etc that would be 'announcements'. The very nature of interviews is that he doesn't pick the questions exactly so obviously they will centre upon the sacking of NA and appointment of MP. And now the emotion has died down somewhat he had the ability to rationally speak and allow others to make judgment based on facts/ambition. Expect "NA did great things but we needed someone to take us to the next level etc; MP fits our philosophy and can help attract a different calliber of players in this window; hard decision but it's what I'm payed to do by the owners". Might get a bit of respect back and some decent PR after the criticisms lately in the mass media by making it seem like a reasoned and well-considered decision based on long-term logic rather than emotion. I'd expect to see virtually the same in the Sun, but it could be with MP - nevertheless stating virtually the same thing about ambitions for the future and how SFC can evolve under him.

Spudders Posted 26 January, 2013 Share Posted 26 January, 2013 @SimonPeach: Seems Sky Sports News & The Sun have interviews with Cortese. Funny how he is talking with people without a proper knowledge of #SaintsFC @SimonPeach: It seems The Sun have not spoken to Cortese. Sky Sports News at #SaintsFC every presser so can't complain about their access I don't really understand what Simon is trying to say here Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2 Think he was initially unhappy that the Sun & Sky had Cortese interviews when the Sun don't even have much to do with the club, but then he back tracked a bit, as it turns out the sun don't have an interview with Cortese, it's just Sky and that's fair enough as they are always at the club press events.

trousers Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 (edited) Here's the Sun interview... @justinallen1976: #SaintsFC boss Mauricio Pochettino speaks exclusively to @TheSunNewspaper and @justinallen1976 in Barcelona. http://t.co/t8uxZRZH “The chairman, Nicola Cortese, called last week and invited me to become manager and promised me a 2½-year project, which excited me. “Yes, of course, I felt sorry for Nigel. I’ve been in his position, losing my job after four years at Espanyol in November. “Sometimes not only does a project end but so does a club’s philosophy. The goals and targets change. “A coach can suit one project — but not another.” The likeable Adkins was seen as a man who had taken the club as far as he could. There was a feeling training had become stale and some of the ex-manager’s substitutions baffled the players. @justinallen1976: @SouthamptonFC fans can be assured Mauricio Pochettino is clever with much charisma and a great contacts book. I left Barcelona impressed. Edited 27 January, 2013 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSaint Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Nothing juicy despite the interviewer asking some pressing questions. No real thanks to Adkins but that they gotten along well up until the 'last seconds'. New manager in to keep the young lads at the club 'together'.

georgeweahscousin Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Interview Number 3:- In the echo, Jim Steele reveals how he went to the Villa game, bought his own tickets, went into the Supporters club and was ejected for not being a member. No offence to Jim, but it seems like he is trying to blame NC for this, but in reality I doubt the person who runs the bar knew who he was.

saints_is_the_south Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Cortese said that the change was 'right for the team'. That sun article on Pochettino says that training had become stale under NA and the players were baffled by some of his decisions, in particular subtitutions. Given that the guy from the Sun has been around the team/manager for 4 days, and based on what Cortese said I believe there may have been a major player influence in Nigel getting the boot.

So were circa 30000 Saints fans ............ So you can begin to see why Cortese decided to make a change Mind you, he's got to attract a young Top Star to us to convince many that the change is a positive one.

I'm not a big fan of the way Cortese goes about things, so this was never going to see me rushing back to his paternal bosom, but I think he said all the right things.
