    Some people are going to find out after battling through the weather for hours to get home. Ouch.

    This is what i have just emailed to sky sports.


    I would just like to say i am absolutely fuming at the decision to sack adkins, I beleive he is the best english manager in the game. To take us from the league one relagtion zone to 15th in the premier league is quite a feat and one I will always be grateful to nigel for. I dont care how good mauricio pochettino is, and yes he may do well for us but he will never live up to our nigel. A ridiculous decision on the back of some good form and an improvement in the team. The reason we were able to come back against chelsea on wednesday is because of nigel adkins, tactics spot on and most of all because the players loved him, his man management and motivational skills are second to none. Whichever club nigel ends up at they have got themselves a great manager and he will do well for them. From every southampton fan thank you nigel and you will always be welcome at st marys.

    ONE NIGEL ADKINS!!!

    Gutted, angry, disppointed and most of all EMBARASSED! Others will quite rightly criticise the club and I understand that. The problem is WE did not want this but this evidently won't change others opinions. THANK YOU NIGEL although thank you doesn't sound enough. My son is six and understands where the club has come from and he got Nigel in his MATCH cards the other day. You should have seen his face. Adkins is his hero (and mine) AND WILL ALWAYS BE!!

    Not a saints fan obviously, but still appalled. A little bit more of my love for the game dies.

    Massive boost to the sides below us just as the side was getting to grips with the prem we get this.

    Absolutely no comparison to what Nigel has achieved. Back to back promotions and outside the relegation zone.

    there is, we'd just beaten bristol rovers 4-0 away and people had the same reaction.
    people were singing "one alan pardew" at games after he had been sacked.
