Southampton manager Nigel Adkins has
been accused of not taking his position seriously after allegations
that he has started sneaking song titles into press conferences.
Suspicions were first aroused when he
elected to blame the defeat against Everton 'on the boogie', rather
than the more commonly used scapegoat of the referee. The game was up
for Adkins after describing Rickie Lambert as his 'wonderwall', and
then claiming that he had 'good vibrations' about the forthcoming
game against Aston Villa.
CHEEKY: Adkins after slipping in a song reference in his press conference
John-George McCartney, the Southampton
spokesperson, said that “We feel it is simply unacceptable for the
manager to behave in this manner.
“We work eight days a week to
preserve the reputation of this football club. It has been a long and
winding road under Nigel and we just hope he understands the history
and prestige of Southampton. He may well regret this when he's sixty
four.
We're disappointed and we do not know
where he got the idea for this from, but on this occasion we're going
to let it be.”
Meanwhile, rumours that this craze had
spread to other Premiership managers gathered pace yesterday after
Chris Hughton suggested that 'everybody hurts' when they're
struggling at the bottom of the league.
