Will be Interesting to see how things pan out between Adkins and the owners, if he was to walk i don't think there anybody in the footballing world/fans who would blame him, i honestly think that jnr has made him look a bit of a fool this window plus he has not help himself by coming out with the "i want all my transfer business done by the time we return for pre-season" , if he stays, is it because he's an Allams man or because he's under the foolish impression that things will get better, can't make up my mind about our Nigel one way or another.
if you walk you say goodbye to your remaining salary
get sacked and usually you get a large chunk

He's as desperate for a job as they're desperate to squeeze every last penny out of the club. If he walks some other desperado will jump at the chance to be our manager. Yes the calibre will be lower but that won't bother them. The new manager will just be treading water till he goes and the next one arrives
 
Why would he leave he's managing a club in the 2nd tier English football we are not a League 2 club though if these ****s stay it might happen sooner rather than later.
They will be gone next summer I just hope we are still in the Championship though I think we will be Adkins is a decent manager.

I hope you are right about them being gone by next summer - but I wouldn't bet on it!
 
Currently money is coming through parachute payments.
Last payment in in January.
If they stay beyond that they have one intention and one only to destroy the football club.
Fair enough. I thought the drop from last season to this was likely to be the biggest, as the wage bill seems prepared now for no parachutes.

They’ll probably be hoping Maguire moves in January to get some money from that.

Norwood on his move to Sheff Utd.

“Hull did try to sign me,” said Norwood. “They tried quite hard but this is football, it is business. They couldn’t get the deal done and Sheffield United did. To be honest, I would much rather have come to Sheffield United than go there.
“It is nice to be wanted. There were a few clubs linked and certain things went on. But until it is signed, you never know with football. Things can change from one day to the next.
“I couldn’t be any happier to be back up north and at a club going places. I just want to get going.”

It's getting interpreted as he didn't want to come to our club and that it's Sheff U who are going places compared to us.
That might be what he meant.
But it also might be that he preferred Sheffield over Hull as a location as he comes from Burnley. Live a bit NW of Sheffield and it's a fair bit closer to Burnley. And that he was merely commenting separately, without comparison to us, that Sheff U is a club going places. Plus it was claimed that he wanted to work with Nige again.

Having said all that, it's easy to understand why he would see them as a more attractive option than us these days.

They're also his current employer. Even if we were Real Madrid and he went to Sheffield, he'd say he's happy to be there.
