Southampton have sacked manager Nigel Adkins and replaced him with Mauricio Pochettino. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/mauricio-pochettino-replaces-sacked-nigel-adkins-at-southampton-8457457.html Very surprising, not least bcause of the timing. Obviously doesn't pay get a result against one of the 'top four'. I'm posting this for a couple of reasons though. Firstly, to have a dig at 'Mr Ambition' being over-looked (again). But more importantly, to wonder if it will have any impact on Southampton's transfer hopes. They are reported to be vying with us for a couple of players, most notably Butland.
