Reading boss Nigel Adkins has backed his old club Southampton to finish in the top 10 and claims he could have achieved that if he had not been sacked.

No grudges

Adkins insists he bears no grudges against Pochettino despite the manner of his departure at St Mary's. "I'll shake his hand and we will have a drink afterwards," added Adkins. "I bear no-one any grudges. I have nothing to prove. "I had two-and-a-half years at Southampton in which we were very successful. "It is a joy to watch them play and they have shown great professionalism. "The players deserve the credit. I was proud, privileged and honoured to be their manager."
