    Hypothetical question. The choice is keep Adkins and get relegated or sack Adkins get twitchy and guarantee premiership football next season. What would be saints fans choice. Mine get Harry in premiership although can be boring is the only place to be.

    Keep Adkins and get relegated every time.

    But we won't get relegated, and Adkins will stay.

    Keep Adkins. He's building something special here.

    Keep Adkins. I don't quite hold the grudge against Redknapp that some do, but I have faith in Nigel and believe that he is our guy. And being in the Premiership means a lot to me and it is where we belong, but it is not the be all and end all, and I would still be happy supporting Saints in any division.

    So would I but us falling out of a division is a failure and there is no other way to put it , what would of been built would obviously would be ripped up as players would be sold and budgets cut , we have to stay up now to keep the momentum going , AT ALL COSTS .

    Why should we destory 2 years work under Adkins for Redknapp who only has a few seasons left in him?

    Seems pointless. Plan for long-term

    What a horrible question! Probably the Adkins route though.

    Then would should employ an 18 year old . For me Redknapp would be short term and if he kept us in the premiership that would be a price paying .

    This question is pointless, keeping Adkins doesn't guarantee relegation nor does hiring Redknapp guarantee survival.

    Exactly, Redknapp would be short term so what would be the point?

    Trixter asked the same question earlier this week, and my answer hasn't changed. Adkins and relegation all day long. No question.

    But Adkins would start next season with a far far weaker team and would have to start all over again , we have to stay up this year .
    And to be honest Cortese would see to it he is gone .

    The premise of the question is illogical.

    Seeing as we are in the bottom 3 , won 1 game out of 9 , conceded 26 goals I find it a perfectly logical question .

    Relatively easy decision. Keep Nigel and stick to the long-term plan.
