No he said Moyes wanted him but couldn't get the money together in time.

He also called it right on: Fox, Sharp, Clyne, Rodriguez, Cork, Ramirez and Mayuka.

Quote: "Everton boss David Moyes is making a frantic last-gasp bid to sign Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez" which was stretching the truth at best.

Announcing transfers is not particularly impressive, lots of parties involved. Only one involved with sacking a manager - the saints board. He doesn't know what they're going to do and you can tell by the phrasing of his tweets:

Heard last night that he would be bumped today. Not chasing it as if it happens then it will be common knowledge later.

Well if Nigel does go today I will have seen his first and last games in charge of Saints and both ended in 2-0 away defeats - his first game being at MK Dons.
 
If Nigel went, which I can't see happening, then Cortese will bring in a big name manager to the club.

It would be about putting Southampton on the map and showing we mean business.

Same here and he is one of my fave Saints managers of all time.

The way we are, we are likely to go down whoever is in charge.

In those circumstances I struggle to think of a better manager to lead us out of the Championship than Adkins.

It will sound very defeatist to a lot but if we go down we should go down with our man still at the helm.

That's just unrealistic, though, in this day and age, unfortunately. But it definitely wouldn't make sense to get rid of him before our run of home games against teams around us. Need to maintain some stability. Problem is, once the media and bookies get hold of it, it just becomes a destabilising force which becomes self-fulfilling; only one thing can stave it off - winning games. Reckon he may only have one more home loss left in him before NC snaps. Possibly been told as much?
 
This 'story' has been on here for two hours now and nothing reported on the official sites so is it just another case of poor reporting from someone trying to claim an exclusive or insider knowledge?
It is another inevitable story be thrown about through lazy reporting after last night's defeat.
 
"Southampton hardly splashed the cash in the summer, or sign players with proven Premier League experience, but they did add to their squad for the top flight.
Adkins signed Emmanuel Mayuka from Young Boys, Gaston Ramirez from Bologna, Maya Yoshida from VVV Venlo, Steve Davis from Rangers, Nathaniel Clyne from Crystal Palace, Paulo Gazzaniga from Gillingham and Jay Rodriguez from Burnley"

So, only about £25m then..... Such toilet "journalism".

EDIT Ah sorry Tom, just seen your post now!
 
SkySportsNews on twitter is pissing me right off. It has three times this morning started tweets with BREAKING NEWS. Don't do this to me!

No worries that part of the article is such horseshit it's worth bringing up twice!
