An experienced manager, positive football style with strong ties to the club and who fans would get behind, seems ideal for a short term appointment. Think O’Neill at Celtic.

the summer now seems the much better time to be trying to get the right long term pick made.

I like your reasoning, I really do, but this is where I think the sentiment comes in, heart ruling head. 

Adkins was great for us at the time. But time has moved on. He’s had more ‘downs’ than ‘ups’ since leaving.
 

When he was here last time he had an ambitious squad eager to climb the league. These fuckers ??? Will the players respect him here now ? That’s questionable no matter how he has fans on his side. 
 

As Lord Duckhunter points out the comparison  with O’Neill at Celtic just doesn’t stand up.

Sammy Saint with Mary Saint as his assistant makes a lot of sense right now with Tonda and the new bloke from dream academy taking over their match day duties

We also had owners that had a clear plan, and there was a togetherness from the new age of Southampton Football Club. Anyone coming in under the current set up will struggle.

We won’t be changing the manager again this season. Or certainly until the play offs are unreachable.

A bit like how we waited until the day after relegation was confirmed to sack Ivan Juric.

He will only be sacked after our relegation is confirmed.
