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.
Just one of several comments that I agree with 100%. Makes me ashamed to be such a devoted fan of professional football
O'Driscoll, Hill, Di Matteo were all candidates for the daft sacking of the season, but this one trumps the lot. Top class manager who will get a better job before the sun is over the yardarm. Blackburn must be gutted that they've appointed the dreadful Appleton now there's an opportunity to get a top class bloke like Adkins on the rebound.
This is definitely the most baffling of the lot, especially considering his replacement's managerial experience consists of a very mediocre time at Espanyol, and he can't speak English.

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.
this, with knobs on.
Think how many games Powell lost when he first took over and they didn't sack him.
Rather than just being a completely ridiculous decision, this is very typical of what is happening in the Premiership now with rich foreign idiots who know nothing about the game.
What do they expect a guy with almost no knowledge of English football who will probably never have even heard of half the Saints squad to do better than Adkins?
Not to mention he just got sacked after a horrendous start to the season with Espanyol, and he'll have to deal with a squad no doubt pissed off at Adkins going.
this x a billion !!!
I hope the saints fans make a stand & hopefully a bit more than the Chelsea fans did
It's always difficult to comment from an 100% informed position on the goings on at other clubs but this looks like the most bonkers sacking of the season by some distance to me.
mental. Hope they go down. Adkins is one of those managers you want to be available at a time you are without a manager yourself as a team. Great record. To replace him with a bloke with no experience in the UK and who does not speak English is beyond stupid IMO.

Ridiculous decision by the owner but not the new managers fault for taking a job.
