    I'm still not sure on the Cortese vs Le Tiss thing. I've never loved Cortese and I'm not a big fan of all that "The Don" stuff but wasn't Le Tiss getting paid to be "Club Ambassador" and doing **** all to earn his money?

    Hi guys,Bristol City fan in piece.

    Over on our board we are gobsmacked you have sacked Nigel Adkins crazy decision.The guy has turned your club around. I am sure he will be back managing very quickly.

    It was as bad as SOD getting sacked at Forest after beating Leeds United,hopefully to our benefit now.

    Football is going mad.

    Hi mate. I am devastated that Adkins has gone. And with all due respect to O'Driscoll and Forest, Adkins sacking is far worse than that one. Nevertheless, life goes on and we've got to back the new manager.

    if we lose the next few games which could easily happen i reckon the atmosphere will turn really sour.

    No one likes this decision.

    Balague was on sky sports news, and feels that we have make an excellent appointment. We'll see I guess, but still seems a shocking decision. Out of interest, why do we owe Le Tiss an apology? I haven't really followed that thread.

    Notable headlines from Pochettino interview (via interpreter): "I know about the squad as I've been researching for several weeks" #saintsfc

    Seems he's done his homework.

    NC "I will sing you a song"
    What did Adkins do wrong?
    Is this a joke?
    I hope the new guy won't choke!
    If we go down - NC you will look like a clown
    You sacked the best manager we had for years!
    You've made me sad....eyes full of tears!
    NC Are you sure of your move?
    This new guys got a lot to prove!
    You gave Adkins the can but I will still be a die-hard Saints Fan!

    LOL - Come back Wupert! All is forgiven! - LOL

    A few times he's spoken out about his suspicion that Cortese may not entirely share the best interests of the fans. A lot of us on here have slated Le Tiss for his criticism.

    Pochettino has said he has been studying us "for several weeks" and is "impressed by the existing squad".

    Agree, I reckon this has been rumbling in the background since the WBA loss and irreversible steps were probably taken then.....

    I doubt he'd give Blackpool a second look if he knew his job here was secure. They won't be especially attractive when they are forced to sell Ince and Phillips and run out of parachute payments.

    ...replaced by big name signings and the club will try to buy success like QPR.

    Honest opinion.

    Can't see many players sticking around now.

    Ludicrous decision.
