Sadly it's just the nature of football these days that they will already be contemplating the sacking of Adkins, although I think it would be an absolute disgrace to sack someone so soon when he has achieved back to back promotions for them. I think he deserves until at least Christmas, regardless of the results over the next few games. I hope you don't mean anything disparaging with your comment about Fergie time, it's common knowledge that most games these days have three to four minutes added time and anything could happen until the final whistle blows. United have been making an art form of that for years now and as much as I agree that Southampton played very well at times in that game and contained United for long periods of time, I think in the end they were guilty of losing concentration and some very sloppy defending. United are in my opinion, most dangerous at the very end of a game so it was no surprise they ended up winning. I agree that the Southampton substitutions didn't help at all, I'm not sure what Adkins was thinking with that and if he isn't getting the results decisions like that aren't going to get the fans on his side. You could do a lot worse than Redknapp if he is appointed the manager (although I think that is only a rumour) as he is a quality manager and knows how to get the best from his players.
