Adkins was very unlucky to get sacked. I think it's a real shame he wasn't given more time .

Interesting Hammond is playing under Adkins again. I hadn't noticed he had gone there. Hammond was a clever player for us, a good football brain . I bet he helped schneiderlin quite a lot

It's almost as if Cortese had made his mind up that Adkins was not good enough for the PL , No matter what . We will never know .

If you saw Nigel's interview immediately after we beat Coventry to seal promotion it was obvious he knew he was on borrowed time once we got to the Prem.

Oh yes I remember that , But still , would been nice if he was given a real chance , like I said , we will never know .

The sad thing is the sacking came just as it looked like the team were beginning to find their feet, and we got that great draw at Chelsea. I always had a suspicion that Cortese was waiting for Pochettino to agree to come, but as you say, we'll never know.

I guess the manner in which we got rid of Adkins and the ambition of Pochettino was always going to haunt us. Both improved our side, but we had a confident, settled side.
 
Saints, Skates & Bournemouth all 1-1 atm.

Brighton losing.

Eastleigh flying flag for south coast at the moment!
