AValon Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 What a ridiculous move! If they freefall now someone down there will be left with some serious egg on their face. Wished they'd have done it a bit earlier lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted January 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2013 Crazy move. Absolutely crazy. Adkins is a word removed though so i'm so bothered. This is great new for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wished they'd have done it a bit earlier lol. If they freefall? Now that I know half of their squad is British and the new manager doesn't speak a word of English, I'm pretty much thinking the chairman of Southampton has given us a wee chance of survival. Stange you should say that about Adkins pieface, I think he's one of the few genuinely nice, down to earth guys around.

Hanky Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Good for us. Ridiculous by Southampton. Don't know how the dressing room would feel about it but would imagine most of them would be 'Adkins men' having come up from the Championship/league 1 with him.

Designer1 Posted January 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2013 Must have been something major going on behind the scenes, because if this is a reaction to recent results it's a ridiculous one. Southampton were looking the most likely to stay up from the six relegation candidates. This. There is definitely more to this decision than meets the eye, I just can't see it being based merely on results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yep, it has to have been a personal argument. Probably over transfer funds or something. Most football clubs are massive companys that are run like a corner store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I reckon they thought Adkins had taken them as far as he could. Like Pardew coming in for Hughton. Strange decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
