For me this makes Southampton nailed on certs for relegation. AN absolutely crass decision, which I reckon will bite them hard. Adkins for me is the best young English manager around at the moment and will manage England within the next decade, for me he is the English Arsene Wenger, before Wenger went mad. Some lucky team is going to pick this guy up. Wouldn't be surprised if Leeds sack Warnock in the next few days in order to try and get Adkins in, especially as they have just been taken over and there is some new money available. |
I hope Leeds don;t get him. I think they have enough problems at the moment without making managerial changes. More importantly, Adkins is a manager the players seemed to like so hopefully now they;ll go into freefall. However, they did spend fortunes in the summer so there is some culpability there (unless he wasn;t making the signings). |  |

If that is true its a disgrace.
Just got a point at the European Champions!
If there was ever an advert for promotion to the Prem means you are guaranteed to lose your job this is it!!
Two years ago they were in League 1!! |
Lost 2 of the last 12 matches!...for once in my life I am totally speachless... Incredible!!! |  | | |

Pure lunacy.
Talk about timing.
I'd say the owners probably werent impressed by his list of potential transfer targets and wanted more glamour.
We're only making plans for Nigel.
Let's hope the players react negative to this and implode! | |

If that's true then that's lunacy of the first degree.
I really rate Adkins. Can't we bring him in and groom him to replace Harry?
Saints deserve to go down for this.

You want to "Groom" him !?

Just been on their Offish and there is nothing about Adkins departure apart from one sentence in the article about the new manager.... "Whilst we acknowledge the contribution made by Nigel".... It gets more bizarre by the minute! | | | |

Right lads.
It's been fun.

Genuinely staggered by that unless there's something dodgy in the background. Would have thought that massively weakens their chances of staying up. |  |

Maybe it's his lousy record as their manager that so upsets the board:
Played: 124
Won: 67
Drawn: 25
Lost: 32
Absolutely useless.  |  |

DIdn't he row with the board towards the start of the season over players?
New fella fouled Owen for the penalty at the w/cup apparently.

That is amazing. They could easily have sacked him earlier in the season when they lost seven of eight, now they do it just as they're playing well and getting good results. Great news for us. |  | | |

Astounding decision. Seemed like he was beginning to get the hang of this premier league lark. Must put them in more precarious position. |  |

I am increasingly convinced that the majority of football club owners are mentally deficient to the point of insanity. |  | | |

Great week for us. A French international striker joins us and one of our rivals sacks a decent manager (who has put them above Newcastle).
Sorry Saints. Always had a soft spot for them but it's dog eat dog for the rest of the season (no offence Ji). | | | |

In fairness they have an 8 point lead over us already. | | | |

It does seem strange at this particular point when Southampton have started to pick up points.
Even stranger is that Southampton have had the same owners (the Liebherr family) since 2009, so it's not a case of Adkins not being 'their man'.
Perhaps it was getting beaten 1-5 at home against Chelsea a few weeks ago. Or perhaps they wanted a bit more glamour. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

To the Southampton board:
You are a bunch of complete arsebags. You have shown no respect and you get none.
You sum up all that is wrong with football (and I support QPR!)
You are money grabbing, shortsighted, ungrateful shitheads.
You were almost out of business two years ago and the man responsible for dragging your sorry arses back to the top division you have just shat on.
You are spineless.
You will get relegated.
Now f*ck off. |  | | |

Agreed ,, Fantastic respect at the Ray Jones game .
They must think they are safe enough to make the change . |  | | |

Sounds like the new bloke is the next Mark Hughes, got sacked by Espanyol in November after they only had 9 points from 13 games. Since his sacking they now have 18 points from 19 games. | |
