That would be foolish, they have drawn against Chelsea and Arsenal and beat Villa in their last 3, what more did they want from him!
Of all the stupid sackings there have been this must rank as one of the stupidest . He got them up and they are holding their own. Where on earth do their board expect them to be? Top ten? Another good man treated appallingly by suits without a clue about the game . And I'm no fan of his
I like him, he's ridiculously positive and he's clearly got something. He got Scunny playing brilliant and successful football which to be honest I thought would be a flash in the pan and the extent of his ability but he proved me wrong and did an amazing job at Saints. I bet Wolves and Blackburn wish they'd waited for him.
I don't much like the guy (on account of him having managed the Scunts), and there was some discontent among Southampton fans back at the start of the season when they were playing poorly. BUT, he's done a good job there and they're just starting to play well, so this is a ****ing absurd decision.
That didn't take long... Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints Southampton Football Club has appointed Mauricio Pochettino as First Team Manager having relieved Nigel Adkins of his duties.
