Is NA leaving us? I think NC is ruthless enough to fo it !

Is NA leaving us? Rumour in The People today. Wouldn't usually believe anything that comes from that source, but I was struck by one interview with NA immediately after we gained promotion. He talked about his career at Southampton coming to an end one day and how 'when the time comes' he hopes 'it will be done properly.' I thought at the time this was a bizarre thing to be talking about. NC is certainly ruthless. What happened to the previous manager - I can't remember his name but he laid the foundations for everything we have achieved. Wonder what

I cannot believe I am seeing comments about NA possibly going. Why on earth we would we lose the manager that has given us back to back promotions, has a tremendous long term future ahead of him and can give us the stability, continuity and hopefully success that we have long awaited. What we should be doing now is building the team for the next season. Even if we have a rough ride in our first year back in the premiership, NA and the team deserve our support and we need to show we are not there just when the ride is fun.

I'd be amazed if NA left us by virtue of a NC decision. As ruthless as NC is he's not an idiot. I still regret to this day the slagging off I gave him when he fired Pardew, but I was wrong and from what I understand he had valid reasons. This is Nigel's team now and he deserves this chance more than anyone.

Absolute rubbish.
