Disgraceful move by the club IMO, Adkins joined the club in 2010 when they were nearly bottom of League 1 and guided them to back to back promotions to get Soton into the EPL. They have now found their feet in the EPL and have lost only twice in their last 12 games and play an entertaining style. Ive lost a fair bit of respect for the club over this, the owners claim that it is all about the long term future of the club. Sad to say this but I hope they get relegated now to teach them a lesson.
Absolutely shocked and gutted by this move. Adkins deserved so much better than this. He dragged us out of the shit and brought stability and optimism to the club. I know owner Cortese is ruthless but this doesn't cut it with me. Fan response as well as that of the players (who loved playing under Adkins) will be interesting especially if we start to nose dive and find ourselves deep in a relegation battle.
Good luck and thankyou Nigel Adkins for all you did at St.Marys.
