Article: CONFIRMED: Mauricio Pochettino replaces Nigel Adkins as Saints manager | Southampton FC, Football

Much as I've disagreed with Godders in the past, he's perfectly within his rights to express his opinion on Saints on ummm....a Saints message board.....particularly today.

 

Yes x 1,000,000.

 

I almost feel as if I'm betraying Nigel by watching this press conference with Pochettino. I don't think I've been effected by football as much as I am today.

 

Well, it's confirmed. All your periods have synchronised.

 

It's not the interview that's bothering me..it's seeing Adkins in photos and videos.

 

Everyone being negative needs to print this comment off, take it to bed with them, and wake up on Saturday refreshed.

 

Yes. This, absolutely.

 

Can't say I liked him, but he didn't deserve to get sacked, sorry Southampton fans, just after it was starting to look like you were going to pull away from the bottom 4, this could drag you straight back into the dogfight.

 

Or give us the impetus to pull further away. There are always at least two sides to a prediction.

 

I would like to sing one nigel adkins for the full 90, to get the message across and the move on. I have lost the will to be a football fan or a saints fan at that cancelled wigan away now. and couldnt careless if we got relegated now. no loyalty at all. and for those that think it is a new era it is bye bye lambert as if he will fit this guys style!! Furious disgusted and full of sorrow

 

You obviously don't like your own manager then. Adkins is a gentleman, positive (never whinging or blaming others), intelligent and got his side playing attractive football. In fact the complete opposite to Big Sam.

 

You're an idiot.

EDIT: Perhaps a bit unfair. You're acting like an idiot.

 

We must keep behind the team. I have followed Southampton FC for 40 odd years and Nigel Adkins for 2.5 years.

 

And a bit of claret, no doubt. I do empathise with you, but tomorrow is definitely another day, As is Monday.

 

We all need to keep calm. Being angry is natural so I am not going to react to that but I can't see how my staying away or singing Cortese out will help my team.
Those who say they want to protest, fine. I just don't see how that can be done in a way that doesn't poison the atmosphere or that will change anything at all.

 

See Sam is in trouble with the FA for criticising officials.

 

As an ipswich fan I'd like to say how wrong I think it is that Adkins has gone. For what he's done for you and how he's done this season. I fancy you would've stayed up with him in charge,now with this disruption will it throw a spanner in the works.

 

explain ?

whats your view?

 

You couldn't care less if we were relegated? I really don't think I need to say more than that. You're allowed to be angry that's fine but being relegated would be disastrous for the club and you'd be a fool not to fear it. Furthermore I'm pretty sure you weren't watching his Espanyol team this season so theres no way you can instantly assume that Lambert will leave and not be used in this guys style. I presume the assumption is that he'll play a passing game and because of that need a more mobile centre forward, but the thing is we played a passing game under Nigel and Lambert coped just fine. Not to mention that coming in and dropping our leading goalscorer would be suicidal fans went mental when Nigel did it so god knows what they'll do if this new fella does it. I understand you're angry and upset but give yourself some thinking time and more importantly give the manager some time. I'd suggest going to Wigan and supporting the boys as it is neither the team or Mauricio who sacked Adkins.

 

i really dont think I am for once I was as happy as can be as a saints fan love everything about adkins. From what you have said ThatThereSaintsFan I hope you dont moan about anything for the rest of the season. this guy cant speak English. was sacked after being bottom of La Liga. I honestly can say I wouldnt care if we got relegated. I wont Boo any players or any manager no matter how bad the situation because it is so demoralising. but out of respect for adkins I would be happy to chant his name for the full 90.
