    It will certainly given him a valued lesson, don't take a job when you have little or no control what players are bought and sold. Particularly when you have someone helm who hasn't a clue what the **** he is doing.

    The position we're in I think we're lucky to get anyone with any sort of pedigree. We're looking for survival in the immediate term, not play-offs or promotion. Most of the bookies top ten could probably do that for us and if it ends up being Adkins so be it. It'll be interesting to know how long the new man's contract will be, as an indication of Ehab's intent. Short contract could mean keep us up with the players you've got, longer might mean funds to be made available in January?

    I've got to disagree , the fact he's clearly a very decent bloke does have some effect on people's thinking

    If Adkins is appointed I wonder if he's been given any assurances about January and if he has will they be honored?

    I'm not disputing any of that. Only that we obviously also have players capable of making and scoring goals judging by the number we have scored.
    The balance of the team has been wrong all season, perhaps the new man will sort it out ?

    He might if he's allowed to sign some better players, there's obviously **** all he can do about having no decent full-backs at the club.

    He'll get 5% of any revenue the club generate due to changing the d in his surname to t (for tiger).

    The balance of the squad has been wrong all season. Only a transfer window* will sort that out.


    *One where we recruit sensibly. Therefor I'm not holding my breath.
