    to think he got a point at Chelsea as well, its madness, they've replaced him with a manager who was sacked by Espanyol this season.

    Pathetic.

    2 promotions from league one to the Prem, starting to get results in the Prem and then they sack him ??

    It must be due to them failing the beat Chelsea at the Bridge recently- which based on current form is a sackable offence <laugh>

    <laugh>, that's true King Eric, maybe they decided before the game they were going to sack him.

    I really can't understand why they have sacked him, after back to back promotions and a decent showing in the Premier League with a pretty average squad (no offense intended but when you look at the squad on paper it isn't the strongest) they show him the door and put a guy in charge that failed at Espanyol.... very strange decision.

    Absolute insanity.

    Last seven games under Atkins? only one defeat.

    Does the new manager speak english? No.

    His previous job? Fired as Espanyol manager for being bottom of the league with just nine points from their first 13 games.

    Unbelievable, I feel for the fans, I see them as a shoe-in for relegation now.

    Crazy but it looks like that they made up there mind on him earlier seeing as the replacement is already moving in.

    the thing is Norwich were in a similar position to them last year, they didn't sack Paul Lambert.

    When Nigel Adkins took charge at #saintsfc 28 months ago they were 22nd in League 1. Now 15th in PL, lost just 2 of 12 #madness

    Nigel Adkins sacking: "There's no point in saying we're surprised because it's a crazy world and strange things happen in football. But it does seem very unfair."

    He seems a decent bloke as well. Who'd be a fu<king real-life football manager?

    Seems similar to Chris Hughton at Newcastle a 2 years ago or whatever.

    Was honestly expecting Chelsea to go through 2 more managers before any else got the sack.
