Sadly Paulo Di Canio looks like he might have something to say about that.

I wish you weren't talking out of your arse.

He's rumoured to be in dispute with Southampton over his sacking/pay-off, and if that's true, he aint available.

Would be my choice as manager. Low key family man, has experience in getting promotion, and likes his team to play it on the floor. Perfect.

He is available,because he has lodged his dispute through the League Managers Association it means he can take another job, it is down to the tribunal to set the compensation.

I don't know if this is relevant but I saw someone who looked like Adkins in the Madejski bar, wearing a training top that had N. ADKINS on the back. He was talking to Anton and Madejski. At one point Anton put his hand up and said "Man Utd are up here, then he put his hand down and said "and we're down here".

Then they shook hands and as the mystery person was walking away he said "Great I look forward to working with you as next manager of your club.". And Anton responded with something like "Yes Adkins, I'm so glad we've signed you "

When hey saw me they hurried away pretending nothing had happened.

I don't now if that means anything?
