Nigel Adkins - new manager

[Royal Lady]

So the club no longer announce such things then? If the club told SSN why the heck couldn't they be the ones to announce it. Oh I know, because it's not confirmed yet is it???

We can all do that you know... oh and another one

R5Live is confirming Phil Brown as Southend manager but not a hint of a comment about us. Maybe not as sure as is assumed, maybe?

Christ on a bike, there's always something for you to whine about.

That's because Southend FC have confirmed the appointment.

When Reading do the same tomorrow come back on here and tell us you heard it on 5live.

Is it really necessary to be offensive? I am simply making a simple point, that there is an assumption here that the club has made an appointment just because SSN says so. It may be true but let's not jump to conclusions until there is a confirmation. I recall the press making announcements about the signing of a player just as he signed for someone else. Beware the presumptive media.

Not being offensive, far from it.

Just stating 2 scenarios are very different.

[Forever Reading]

Does anyone know what type of football style we can expect under Adkins. I really hope we can take the transition towards more of a passing game a la Swansea.

I'm not sure how you've survived on HNA if you think that's offensive.

SSN just confirmed Adkins

if true, this is a load of shit, how underwhelming is this.. it's like swapping out your grey Ford Focus for a charcoal Ford Focus and calling that progress.

So what would have made you happy then? Di Canio?

Tisdale apparently.

Yes, Masterminding a Conference promotion in six years, with less than a full season at League Two level under your belt makes you emminently qualified for a PL relegation fight and attempt to bounce straight back winning promotion from the Championship.

By the way, Tisdale - 39% win ratio at Conference and League Two level, compared to Adkins - 46% win ratio at League One, Championship and Premier League level over two clubs.

I'd assume anyone but Ideal was on a wind-up.

LOL, you obviously don't watch us play regularly. If you did, you would know that it would be a fairly big improvement in terms of the quality of the football.

[paultheroyal]

Have we signed Adkins yet? Was Paultheroyal spot on?

And it's all gone quiet over there...
And it's all gone quiet over there...
And it's all gone quiet
All gone quiet

The only thing that will please Ideal, Sandman and Caskey's Lovechild would be McDermott, Pep or SAF

[paultheroyal]

Phil Parkinson > Di Canio > Coppell > Adkins

Is it typing backwards week?

I have to agree......
