Nowhere near a done deal by the look of this
EXCLUSIVE: Nigel Adkins has NOT yet signed for Southampton
Iron Chairman Steve WhartonSCUNTHORPE United manager Nigel Adkins has NOT yet signed for Southampton.
And the likelihood seems now that he will not be going to St Mary’s.
First thing today the club put out a statement saying Adkins and his right hand man Andy Crosby had agreed terms to join Southampton after talks yesterday.
It was subject to the two clubs agreeing a compensation package.
But Iron chairman Steve Wharton exclusively told the Telegraph that the deal had not gone through.
“The situation is that Nigel and was given an ultimatum last night by Southampton to resign and accept their offer, said Wharton.
“But Nigel was not prepared to do that. He wanted to walk out of Glanford Park with his head held high and everything agreed.
“I have tried to contact the Southampton chairman today but have not been able to get hold of him.
“I was not prepared to roll over and let Nigel leave for nothing.
“I wanted some compensation for what I felt he was worth. It was only a modest amount.
“From a selfish point of view I will be happy if Nigel stays with us.
“But I also feel very sorry for Nigel if this was a move that he had set his heart on.
“The Southampton people have been very difficult to deal with.
“They are probably not the right sort of people for Nigel to be working with.
“But at the moment I am not exactly sure what the situation is until I have talked further to Nigel.”
Pisses me off the league allow tapping up on managers like that to happen. If you do that with a player you are in alot of trouble but with a manager it don't matter?

Not any more. SSN are reporting that Southampton wanted Adkins to 'resign' from Scunny, but he refused saying it is up to the clubs to agree a compensation package.

Fully agree, but clubs should really come to an agreement re compensation before letting their manager talk to another club. Sounds to me the Saints Chairman is doing another wonderful job in regards to this |

I expected Phil Brown ex Hull manager to go there - bit reputation, big ego, and unattached
I suspect the Soton fans are impressed with their chairman's ability
