    Only you know whether that is true, but the post needs more meat, on it's own it is lacking in information, spill the beans, dish the dirt, we are all ears. You must also be privy to whom we are turning to replace him. The worse you will get is a horses head in your bed.

    Well OK that makes more sense, the plot thickens, thank you.

    Kinda obvious if it isn't Cortese, only one other guy who could boss Adkins about.

    Actually with every one fit and available and with the right starting eleven, 4 3 3 would work.

    Makes a hell of a lot more sense than Cortese dictating it, after all as director of football it is his job to get involved. I still don't think it's likely that this is being imposed at all costs though, and it seems obvious that Adkins has bought into it as well.

    Agreed makes far more sense, from what I have heard Cortese knows hardly anything about football. All he does know is the simple rules etc.

    Not having a pop you're a good poster and reliable. But has your source given you anything else that HAS happened? That way we can sorta get an idea of how reliable he is without you telling us who he/she is? :)

    He has never told me anything before, he said he was just pissed off with people (Le Tiss included) slagging the wrong person.

    Any view on the result so far? Seems fairly positive for NA.

    Les Reed has been a failure at every club he's been at.

    Sorry but is this correct ? Les Reed wants a 4-3-3 and Adkins HAS to play it ? Who has ordered Adkins to obey Reed ?

    This is a load of rubbish Adkins picks the team and makes the decisions. Do you really think he would listen to a failed manager in Les Reed if it meant losing every week and playing the way we are?. Don't be daft.

    Cortese is Adkin's super boss, Reed is Adkin's boss. That's why I'd imagine.

    Yeah but still 1 out of every 5 saints fans (if we generalise) want him out. Take that how you will. Personally I think this is a brilliant thread and I want some rep for it :(

    IMHO you only have to look at his comments on the O/S Plyer he says " We will play 4-3-3 " he did not look happy to me when he said it ...........

    IF someone is telling the manager what formation he WILL play , god help us !

    You have to think Adkins would have walked by now if this was the case though surely?

    So does Cortese get involve in football matters ? I say he does this confirms it , I get hammered for it and I still have Mrs Plum in the dining room with the lead pipe .

    I am very confused...................

    I don't know about the HAS part, but from what I was told 4-3-3 is Reeds idea. He wants it to be played at every level (which it is ), Reed is the Head of football development. He is above Adkins already, which means he has no need to ask Cortese to make Adkins obey him.
