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

But we will miss him...will have to get fixes of Adkinisms when he gets a new club. Might go back to his pre-PL self. But most fans have moved on, because as a football fan you have to.

 

Struggling with French from 1965....have you lost your notebook?

 

Oui. Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?

 

Forgotten it. I had to say that most days.

 

La plume de ma tante est noir.

 

Jambon.

 

Impressed myself there

 

Merde.

 

Je voudrais la gare.

 

Tournez a droite.

 

Think Cortese didn't like the more defensive style even though it stopped us leaking goals and got us some points, but he may also have thought that NA was doing okay, but he saw a chance to bring Poch in. Though it does appear that it was an open secret in Europe that saints were looking for a new manager.

Can we please stop so many threads as I have an almost compulsive desire to open them all and I can't keep up

 

j'aime le foot

 

Didn't know we had such linguists. Alert the United Nations.

Un autre cafe-cognac s'il vous plait.

 

I always found it funny how douche meant shower

 

I would suggest that Cortese has done more for the club than Nigel. As PTF said, you don't speak for all of us.

 

Gareth Crooks saying players could walk, what a nob he is.

 

Why would highly paid players leave a team where they are happy and appreciated?

 

As a person NA was tops. Loved the managment style but time to move on. For me the results will tell if this was a good decision. My concern is MP has no PL experience. How many games it takes him to figure it out will determine if we stay up. Spain is not like the PL. Even NA who had experience in lower leagues struggled in the PL. MP has none. Changing after the summer makes much more sense than when we are close to the relegation spots. If we had 30 points now then making the change would be less of a gamble. I fear NC has taken a huge risk by appointing someone who knows nothing of the PL. If we get no points from the next three games then I think we will be in trouble.

 

Tbf...Adkins may not have got points from the next three games.
