    The 1st team performance analyst Steven Corns has just posted this.

    Thanks Gaffa, Croz, Deano & Jim 4 a great few years with SFC, A message left this morning sums them up #positive pic.twitter.com/4uvmTPwM

    I can't get the picture on here as it needs to be resized so if someone could that would be brilliant. It's on that link though. What a fantastic and classy man he is.

    A real tearjerker.

    There really is only one Nigel Adkins. The club who he manages next should consider themselves very lucky.

    Really don't think Cortese will realise quite what he has done until this all goes tits up. Our team was all about sticking together and believing in each other, Nicola Cortese has just gone and single handedly ruined it. Nigel's message just makes me feel even worse and shows what an amazing manager and person he is.

    Me niether, i've just realised how totally not over this i really am. Really don't think Cortese has even considered just how loved Adkins was, Most fans speak of him as if he is a close friend.

    I went onto Steve Corns' [Saints 1st Team Performance Analyst] Twitter account and noticed that in response to Luke Shaw tweeting this, after the Chelsea match: What a result away to the European champions ! Would take a point there any day ! Fans were Hunreal again!
    He tweeted: Lukey, Hazard asked if he can come out of your pocket yet, he's got a game [on] Sunday! :)

    If genuine, that picture is very touching indeed. I've copied it and will keep it.
