RE: 2012/13 Football Season

A simply incredible decision, equally as outrageous as Sam Allardyce's sacking from Blackburn, if not worse. A nicer bloke than Nigel in football you will not meet, and this is the guy who got them promoted with flying colours two years on the bounce. They've been playing well recently, well enough to escape the drop at the expense of a plethora of average and declining sides. To lose your job after achieving an away draw to Chelsea beggars belief. I liked Southampton this season, particularly with a local lad in Nigel Adkins in charge, but can't help but want to see them relegated in last place for this ludicrous replacement.

Agree 100%. However, I wonder if all ok behind the scenes.

Another local lad at Southampton s Ricky Lambert who is from Merseyside and played at my team, Macclesfield, as a young lad - great pro and pleased he made it to the Premiership ahead of some of the journeyman dross from overseas that many clubs squander their transfer budget on.
