Nigel Adkins sacked by Southampton [Merged]

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Just heard that Nigel Adkins is to be replaced as Saints manager by Mauricio Pochettino. Could be announced as early as today or tomorrow.

Is Nigel Adkins FINNISH?

The betting suggests he is about to be offed. He might be a smug, sometimes smarmy freak but that would be a bizarre decision if for "football reasons."

Pochettino incoming is the rumour.

You're not counting your own announcement then?

Would be ridiculous.

Doing a great job. Will no doubt get relegated if it does go ahead!

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Bloody ridiculous! I know he gets a lot of stick on here, rightly or wrongly, but he has actually done a good job with Southampton.

If you are the manager of a Championship side be very careful about getting promoted to the Premiership, it will probably cost you your job!

bookmakers odds.

Wonder if there's a physio's vacancy at Scunthorpe?
Could do a job.

Crazy decision if true. They deserve to go down if he goes

 

[Munkfish]

Ridiculous if true. Can't stand the bloke, but there is no doubt he doesn't deserve to be sacked even if they do go down - but so far they're looking like they could be good to stay up.

I completely agree, the bloke is a complete melt, however he has done a decent job for them, is the pressure coming from the fans?

 

[Hiney]

Utter nob, but not as big a nob as Cortese if this is true.

His unfailing positivity MUST rub off on the players and is probably what will save Southampton. Sack him and they are down, IMO

Spot on. What do they expect from their manager? He's being punished for uverachieving in the first place.

Could do a job.

Do we need a physio's assistant?

 

[chucky1973]

cant be true...........but funny if it is

 

[Acker79]

Blackpool are still looking for a manager.

If he waits a couple of weeks, Blackburn will probably be looking again, too.

 

[User removed 4]

has he had any money to spend there ?

 

[vegster]

Unlikely to go now that they are putting some form together.

Living among the enemy, I don't think there is any pressure from the fans. Quite the opposite.

I don't like him either, but he wouldn'tdeserve that
