Adkins had been out of a job for a long time and was in danger of becoming an Alan Curbishley/Iain Dowie type manager where it looks like they've been passed over for so long, their career looks over.

So the Allams appoint him and the suspicion is he's desperate to work and probably accepted a low salary and no money to spend, just to get on the managerial merry go round again.

Right now it looks like an inspired appointment that is reaping dividends.

I refuse to believe it was an appointment made with insight and shrewd judgement.

The Allams have been unbelievably lucky with the way it seems to be turning out.

Mixed feelings: delighted at how things are going for us, gutted that somehow it reflects well on their "prowess".

Any thoughts this has worked out well due to inspired decisions by our business geniuses is laughable.
It has turned out well despite them, not because of them.

i dont post much an half a dozen games into the season i was fully expecting the clubs slide to be a long and painful one , nothing at all to do with Adkins , but down to what i considered to be an average Lg1 thin squad with no hope of support from the owners .
I remember being uninterested on where we finished , so long as it caused the Allams suffering - there's always the season after they finally do one.
Im happy we are winning again , it feels freakish , in fact it felt freakish for well over a month. However it feels we are as far away now as we have ever been at getting rid of the Allams.
When buyers were being mentioned the club was valued at £45m ? we were in the relegation zone , personally i dont think this club is still worth anything close to that

It isn't and that is why they aren't selling.
 
I handle 'Nige' by not watching or listening to any of his interviews. That way you avoid having to hear the inevitable bollocks he comes out with about any given situation. Was watching 'Birdbox' the other day, maybe if I wear a blindfold I will be able to listen to him without wanting to put the boot through the TV

Our owners would have had a final parachute payment in the equation (c£10m), Bowens valuation (£12m) after which I'm really struggling asset wise; on top of that add dwindling crowds and the rest becomes a liability including the outstanding loan to Allamhouse. At face value £45m is for the birds unless any new owner wants to throw money at it to get back into the promised land, inclusive of an inflated purchase price!
 
I didn't realise what an achievement it actually was at Southampton.
From the relegation zone in league one to the premier league. Some good players there at the time.
Again its all about work and team spirit.
