Haha so much love for Nigel, exactly the kind of thing that makes me want him to be our manager for a very long time.
When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say. For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. He's the fellow to please ' never mind all the rest For he's with you, clear to the end And you've passed your most difficult, dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated the man in the glass.
May be reading too much into this, but could this be a statement that from now he will manage the team how he feels right, regardless what the likes of Les Reed and Cortese think of it, in order to be true to himself?
Anyone know who plays the music pre-match? Let's get a copy of "Man in the Mirror" - Michael Jackson down there.
Well yeah, but the management of the team, and selection, is Adkins' responsibility! Just seems peculiar that he should come out with a poem like that, with a clear meaning of being true to oneself, at a time of controversy. But yeah, you're probably right

Absolutely brilliant. Lots of successful people have mantras, phrases and indeed poems to live by, and that's a pretty good one. And for JFB - try to be a tad less cynical.
