More crap. I don't for one minute think Poch 'poached' his job, more like NC had been on the lookout since the start of the season. And nowhere in the article does it quote adkins as directly saying Poch was disrespectful. I wish they would stop this now. No chairman wants to leave a club without a manager, what was NC going to do- sack adkins in Nov and then start a long hunt for a manager? A bit different with reading as they were practically doomed anyway.
I don't want to sound too arrogant, and maybe it's too early in the season (considering we're not safe), but it would be nice to see an academy player on the bench today. It would be great if someone like Rowe or Isgrove could come on and we could see what we've got coming up. Obviously don't use them if the game is close or they're not ready. Any chance of this happening before the end of the season or do you think we'll integrate these players over the summer?
On the way to Readng now, not got a good feeling about this one. The fact that Reading have to win or their season is effectively over makes me think they might sneak it today.

Redknapp is talking a lot more sense about us. Highlighting improvement since MP's arrival, Rodriguez, Schneiderlin all commented on. Also said Lambert is similar to Teddy Sheringham.
I don't think that's unfair. I might be wrong but from my observations Cork can hit a longer ball far better
