Nigel's, living-in-the-present attitude, was seen on TFLS last night as being akin to some kind of Eastern philosophy. It was a light reference, but I think everyone realises that Adkins' philosophies work extremely well. It's not just having good players, it's bringing them together, working as a team, focussing on the next step, making them better.
Besides, it's Nicola's and Les Reed's job to think further ahead.
