I know he is leaving but what has probably been one of the biggest RFC news story in this Twitter age he is embarrassingly quiet!

As per usual on HNA? people are not allowed a middle ground and if you're not singing from the rooftops, proclaiming the birth of the Messiah and declaring that "smiling's your favourite" then you're a miserable b'astard.

Imho This isn't a great earth shattering appointment as many are claiming on here but it's not a terrible one either it's just... in the middle. A manager like Adkins was probably the most realistic option we could have gone for, certainly more realistic than the cock-up over Poyet and less volatile than Di Canio (rule number 39, there's no such thing as coincidence folks). We've basically swapped a good Championship manager with another good one. Nothing more nothing less.

I don't believe there will be massive changes that will change the face of the club as some seem to be baying for like wild animals. I also don't believe that Zingarevich would have been watching us beat Saints at St Mary's last season, looking at Adkins on the touchline and thinking "that's the guy I want to manage my club in a year".

An ok result from this process but one that despite the wishful thinking of the likes of Hoop, IR and Winchy baby has not gone smoothly.

Anyone got any Saints reaction to Adkins being our new manager?!

Bet they're pretty pissed off, which is nice

I suspect a lot of fans from other clubs are pretty envious right now. Would love it if we beat them & beat West Ham. Don't give a toss about the other games but to win those 2 would be great.

(Obviously winning enough games to stay up would be good but you get my drift)

Simon's Church Did a premier league team backed by a billionaire really spend two weeks searching the globe to find that the best two available managers were in Southampton and Brighton :?:

Be thankful he didn't stop on the south coast at Portsmouth.
