Kinda funny really the OP is actually getting this forum to agree with each other again.

Is that people continue to believe everything SFC says is fact.

The amount of rubbish spouted since Cortese has been around is hilarious.

This reminds me of very similar rubbish that was always spouted, by certain people, on The Saints Web. In fact, I think I remember the name.

You know where the exit door is Redstripe76. I suggest you use it. You'll not convince anyone here.

He thinks hes the manager !

Paid far too much

Just constantly lies and gets gullible fans to believe all the crap he gets his pr company to rollout.

Markus Liebherr's family would be horrified to hear what an obnoxious vile cretin Cortese is and how he behaves.

Cortese buying in his own personal players is a complete disgarce.

Adkins had little say on anything.

Cortese is a million times worse than Rupert Lowe and has made the club a farce.

Amongst our fans there seems to be a pro Nicola camp and an anti Nicola camp. Having read this poster's tirade I am rather pleased that I have nailed my flag to the pro Nicola mast.

Amongst all of this nonsense it is important to remember that whether or not people agree with Nicola I think it is safe to say we all admire and respect Nigel.
 
We may not agree with Nicola about Adkins (but I am willing to wait and see), but the more the media and idiots from other clubs turn on him, the more supportive I become. He is not vindictive and he did not sack Nigel for sackings sake...it would have been easier for him to keep him, but he had reasons that were valid to him. I'm willing to give the new guy a chance.
 
Rather tired of talking about this, but perhaps we can consider that Cortese may have simply made a mistake.

I think there's been enough rumor and behind-the-scenes stuff that we all know Cortese is a pretty aggressive guy. But so far it must be said that his hard-charging, take no prisoners way has served the club well. But like anyone, Cortese will make mistakes and like most others I think this may well be a colassal one. But perhaps he will learn from this. He has earned enough leeway over the past years that I think he gets to make a mistake. Even if Saints get relegated, we can still be back up in what I would have said was a likely timeframe to reach PL from the start.

It seems like people are rushing to say that now that Saints are in the Premier League Cortese has changed and is rushing things along too fast. Or that Cortese has always been like this but we are just now finding out. In other words, that this is the kind of person he is or has become and therefore this will simply be the first in a series of disastrous decisions that lead us on a path to doom. But maybe Cortese learns from this. Even if the results on the pitch bear out that this was a good strategic decision perhaps next time he will handle a dismissal with a bit more class.

And we may have already seen Cortese's ability to learn and change. He was certainly behaving in the stereotypical Cortese manner towards Puncheon, and I was certain Pucheon would be doomed to ride out his contract on the bench. I didn't even have a problem with that as I thought Puncheon deserved it for his actions. But in the end Puncheon talked with Cortese, was allowed back on the team, and that ended working out FAR better than I ever thought it would.

Cortese burnt a lot of good will from me with this move, but he'd earned quite a bit. So I'm still on board despite my huge misgivings over this for all sorts of reasons. IF this doesn't work out and we have a revolving door of managers or are swamped with overpaid, underachieving starlets then I will agree that Cortese is a jerk and needs to go.

But I can't see what anyone gets out of bailing out on Cortese/Saints so early. So that in a year if you are right you can tell everyone else "I told you so?" That's important enough to you to turn your back on the club?

That puts it very nicely Fran!
 
Few papers ment to running a story that Adkins had fallen out with a lot of the senior players tomorrow.

Spot on.
 
I think it is time for a truce on Cortese, let's just concentrate on getting the result that we want tomorrow, then we can enjoy another WUMfest with better ammunition.
 
Red stripe you sound no more than an agitator, a WUM maybe

Without Nicola I strongly believe we wouldn't have a club, so for that I am eternally grateful to him. I also wish he would show his more human side, as surely he must have one, and I am disgusted that the official announcement was so matter of fact to Nigel as he deserved more, but so does Nicola.

It's sad that they have to publish stuff like this...I suppose they regard it as even-handed, but the man has lot his job and for the moment is out of the public eye. I bet if any of us left work, there would be people who said we were great and others that would disagree. I prefer to remember Nigel for what he achieved.

Oh God, it's not Fonte's wife again is it:)

Paid far too much - I'll give you that, but we don't pay his salary, what's it to you?

Just constantly lies and gets gullible fans to believe all the crap he gets his pr company to rollout. proof of this?

Markus Liebherr's family would be horrified to hear what an obnoxious vile cretin Cortese is and how he behaves. - the Liebherr's still own the club. They'd step in if they had concerns.

Cortese buying in his own personal players is a complete disgarce. - His players? You think we don't scout them first or consult the manager to see whether the players are right

Adkins had little say on anything. - Adkins managed the team. Were you under the impression that he should have run the club too?

Cortese is a million times worse than Rupert Lowe and has made the club a farce. - Cortese knows what he's doing. I won't try to defend the sacking of Adiins, but he'll have had a reason for doing it

The truth is probably that they are sorry for Nigel as a person and grateful to him for their promotion, but are hoping that a new manager can make them even better or give them more game time if they haven't been playing. Footballers are used to this happening...they rarely stay anywhere more than a few years themselves.
