to sack NA or not

[blade too long]

1. Change now wouldnt be for changes sake, this guys wank theres good reason to sack him as he offers nothing

2. it was exicting because they had Puncheon, Shniderlin, Lallana, ricky Lambert, Oxlaid Chamberlin, Antonio and co. NOT because of nigel Adkins.

3. no WE dont accept that atall, our squad was good enough with 1 maybe 2 additions. With the 5 additions we had we should have pissed it.

4. Hes had a crack and failed, his CV means sod all as far as Im concerned.

5. Basset had character and man management skills, Adkins doesnt seem to have either. I think your living in cloud cookoo land thinking Adkins will build a team comparibel to Bassets.

His CV dried up 4 or 5 years ago
He was sacked at Reading for taking them backwards
thats his most recent cv
till he started taking us backwards

point 3 is correct
we had a consensus we were 3 to 5 players from being very competitive for automatic , but its not even begun to look remotely like he can attract the right sort of players , something that Wigan have managed in a similar timescale

WRONG again!

He was sacked in 2013 (immediately after getting a point away at Chelsea). By my maths that is 3 years ago.

Why not make up some more random 'facts'?

wrong
what has he won since promotion with the saints
that enhances his cv

he was sacked in january 2013 yes , but what was glorious about 2011 sept on and 2012
why was he sacked in 2013 for being good in 2012

I said 4 or 5 off the top of my head was 4
4 years of being crap is still a long time

Are you for real?

In 2011 and 2012 he was getting back to back promotions for Southampton.

He was sacked when they were out of the relegation zone in the Premier League.

He has won nothing since 2012 I'll grant you so judging by the great store you set in recent achievements, which wonder hero would you have at BDTBL.

2011/12. Four or five years ago. Southampton were promoted to the PL. Hardly " dried up"

I did say since the past 4 or so years , what are you arguing about
isnt 4 years of doing fuck all enough

wasnt it 4 years since bryan robson had done nothing when we signed him up

was he a success

 

[Ted Danson]

No you are right.

Your well reasoned lucid arguments win the day.

Sack him.

Can I also be the first to say 'sack the next one'?

ISC

why would you do that before you've seen what he can do? and before you say it, yes we have had time to see and hear what Adkins can do

I said I would grant you the fact he won nothing.in the last 4 years, but 3 years ago the Saints were holding their own in the PL which you had dismissed earlier.

If it helps, the 'level of what you are dealing with', is someone able to use the 'Caps lock' button in both on and off modes.

[I should coco]

Why wait and take the risk?

You have convinced me we have given Adkins too long so let's not make the same mistake again.

Let's sack the next one as soon as he is appointed, just in case!

[Ted Danson]

You and some others may want change but I think you will find he will be here next season whether promoted or not and be given the chance to put his team out with his style written on it.Short terms is not the way to go I think the board have finally realised that,reacting to
Minority supporter groups has put us in this position..Up the blades support Nigel.

and if he is your welcome to watch his turgid brand of shite football and listen to his dull bullshit press conferences while we slowly descend to the 4th division but I wont be renewing if hes still here

I understand that it's tough to remain enthusiastic, but things will surely get better. Just remember the geese.

If, for example, one goose is flying low, has an injured wing or something, all the rest of the geese will slow down to the injured goose's level and 'carry" the injured goose. For injured geese, read Collins, Baxter, Coutts etc.

Eventually the injured goose will drop out the sky. If you like, you can see Baxter and Collins as injured geese who have already gone splat. After that the flock will pick up the pace again. Until another goose gets injured.

No you never mentioned "since" in that post, you said "dried up four or five years ago". Which is clearly wrong. Stop lying you drunken mutt.

Holding their own to such great effect he got the sack.

A move that was greeted with shock from most as they weren't in the relegation zone.

Aye, Southhamton getting it wrong again.

Southampton.

They had been tracking Pochetino for some time and he's proven to be a good PL manager so I suppose they were vindicated. Not sure what your snidey dig is meant for, given that we'd be like pigs in clover to be in the PL and out of the bottom 3.

That doesn't mean that NA's achievement of back to back promotions are any less.

ISC

 

[PeteBlade]

Aye, Southhamton getting it wrong again.

He had an absolutely fantastic record at Southampton, as anyone with back to back promotions would have.

By all means, concentrate on issues you have with his management here, but trying to belittle his achievements with Southampton is just plain daft and doesn't make your argument any stronger.

No one is belittling his achievements but I'm happy to accept Southampton's judgement that they'd seen enough to realise it was time to move him on. He struggled at Reading and has continued showing all the hallmarks of a manager who doesn't have the answers. Time for him to go.
