Why is he going? He's doing a great job! I'm confused and I'm a Chelsea fan... Normally you get sacked after a poor result... you just drew at the European Champs...
We haven't any idea. We've taken 18 points in 12 games, undefeated in five, two losses in eleven. This is madness. Thank you Nigel, you deserved far better.
Feel sick. Feel ashamed to call myself a saints supporter. The job hes done is incredible. All with a humor and diginity. Thankyou soo much for the incredible few seasons. No way did he deserve to go least of all managing to turn around an awfull start to the season very few managers would have been able to do that. Cortese can **** off for all I care I now he saved the club but what is our cluub when we treat legends like this! Go prove him wrong nige you'll be a great!
Now you know how we repeatedly feel and how we felt when Di Matteo was sacked! I liked Adkins and thought he was a nice guy as well as a top manager... Clearly our fault though... Roman was clearly on the phone to Cortese after the game on Wednesday... Just blame us... But in all seriousness I'm a bit stunned
Norwich fan, desperately poor decision by Cortese. Not gloating one little bit, but SOOO pleased we're still owned by Delia. Not everyone's cuppa, but at least not one for ridiculous knee-jerk reactions. Good luck under your new bossman
Thank you so much Nigel for everything you have done for SFC. Cortese you are making the biggest ****ing mistake of your life.
Welcome to the top flight of english footy and all the madness that entails! This is pants plus. We are going to lose all respect with this action.
There has to be a reason and the only one i can think of is Adkins was unable to attract the big name signings but i don't believe that. He should of been sacked at the end of october he wasn't and he proved cortese was right not to sack him and how does cortese reward him by sacking him. Completly shocked and embarased to call my self a southampton fan at the moment. If we now get relegated i firmly believe cortese will walk away.
Thank you Nigel for creating a team that played some beautiful football and restored my faith that Saints could be a top team. I feel ashamed of how you have been treated.
