Nigel Adkins

[THETIGERZHULL]

I'm not so sure, yeah we might have won more games, but we'd be subjected to "Ey listen, the boys were magnificent." After every match, regardless of how well they'd actually played

Ha ha... Have to say that made me laugh, I can picture him now making that comments on Radio humberside !!!

Interesting thread though and it may remain to be seen if we did get the wrong NIGEL

Lots on here thought we'd got the wrong 'Mac' - i.e. McLean instead of Mackail-Smith - but I like our 'Mac'.

Adkins didn't do anything special at Scunthorpe apart from keeping them up and at Southampton he's had more money to spend than NP could hope for.
I rate NP as a much better manager.

More success in this division than Pearson.

I stand by it, but as I've said before I'd take anyone other than Dowie over Pearson.

He's also had his fair share of failures though (Watford's fall from the top of the league and play off loss and Coventry). Regardless of whether he got promotion through the play offs or not it was over 5 years ago now, he's done little of note since. He was hardly a name the likes of west ham, forest and birmingham were looking at over the summer in their quest for promotion which says it all really.
Adkins has done a good job at Southampton but i wonder if he's rather landed on his feet a little bit with the money and resources at his disposal. How he would have faired here with little money available we can only guess. Southampton remind me very much of Norwich last season, playing without fear and attacking and getting their rewards. But i don't rate Adkins as highly as Lambert and with a few injuries or loss in form will they keep going. I maintain that we got the right man for the job last summer and hopefully we'll continue to see progress over this season.

If NP left and we had the choice of any manager in this league, I'd take Poyet over Adkins all day long.

I said at the time that if we were going to get a manager from another club then Adkins would be a good choice.

As it turns out, Adam Pearson made the wrong decision and we'll have to live with that.

same here for the 1st bit...apart from your dislike of adam pearson and barmby, we have very similar views , so ignore all the ones who say you talk rubbish, it cant be true

If Adkins can double up as physio, that may well get him the gig.

That and the correct level of servility of course.

I hear the players aren't happy - Adkins has already sent an email to the kitchen staff asking them to drastically reduce the amount of carbohydrates.

I’d be interested to know if your opinion has changed, with the aid of hindsight?

I'd still take Poyet over Adkins, though neither would figure on my list of preferred options.

Throw in a bit of wooden panel fitting and bingo.
