    He's an Argy and not Mexican. He shouldn't be allowed to work in this country, although I suppose by now he has a Spanish passport.

    Price had already been hammered unfortunately. Twitter is a killer for that

    new manager doing press conference at 2.30pm - with an interpreter, can't speak English. What a joke.

    The new Manager probably won't fancy a CF in the Lambert mould. Have we got a spare £5m?

    Sometimes we expect loyalty from our players and managers - it has to work both ways - if club owners show no loyalty why should the players or managers?
  • Saints fans on my facebook page are fuming!

    "Fucking joke, never going to st Mary's while Cortese is in charge, best manager in years"

    "Could not be more fuming!!!!!! Blood is boiling!!!!!! I am so so angry I can't concentrate. Anyone around I can punch!!!! Cant understand!!! Just at a loss at the logic. Could be genious move in the long run but who cares!!!!! That man has saved my club and I'm forever grateful. So angry at the lack of faith!! Blackpool have got themselves a genious. Walk in there Nige and keep your head high!!! Managerless clubs will be mad. As for you Nicola you got yourself some transfer requests coming in I bet!!!"

    "WHY THE HELL HAVE WE SACKED ADKINS!?!"

    "Adkins has been fired! I hope the protest and boos on Monday can be heard from my flat. Disgraceful!"

    Not surprising as she has just got married for a third time :o)
  • Wonder if he's happy about coming from the sun kissed shores of Barcelona to Snowy, smelly Southampton? (No offence to anyone on here who is from Southampton).

    Sickening. What has football become. I am fuming and I have no affiliation to the club - can't imagine how their fans (or Adkins himself!) are feeling. Just won at Villa and drawn at Chelsea.

    I hope our board don't do the same thing to Powell. Each time we get 2 dodgy results in a row I start to worry. If he is given the chop under similarly unjustified circumstances I think I'd have to jack in watching football and spend my Saturday afternoons writing hate mail to Jiminez.
  • What a feck up, get some money on Saints getting relegated, this is worse than QPR under Paladini.

    None taken, it's a dump!

    It is a crazy crazy decision from what I thought was a stable, sensibe management. See you next year after your relegation

    AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL
  • Everton, United and City 3 of his first 4 games.

  • English football is under attack from imbeciles like Cortese. Hopefully we can build up groups like the new Supporters Trust here, perhaps (ever so slightly) lessening the chances of similar fiascoes taking place at CAFC.
  • Pochettino was sacked in November with Espanyol bottom of La Liga.

    Adkins was on a 5 match unbeaten run & only two defeats in last 12.

    Crazy decision!

    Umm, I'm not a Saints fan...but I reckon they will drop now. Adkins would have saved them.

    this, with knobs on.

  • At least the Saints fans have taken to their new manager.........



    "Get him out. 90 minutes of pro Adkins chants and volleys of abuse towards this guy"

    "get lost..not wanted..he wont be here by xmas"

    "Immediate emotional reaction.
    I don't want that f**king Argie in charge of my club. I want Nigel Adkins!"

    "**** off Pochettino, not wanted"

    "WHO THE ****ING HELL ARE YOU?!?!?!?!
    OneNigelAdkins!!!!!!!!!"

    They should be aiming it at the board not the new manager

    Awful decision, he deserves at least a season in the premiership considering the last two years, and was sure Southampton were going to stay up with him in charge. Not so sure of that now.
