The Adkins Sack/Resignation Countdown Thread

[SPARTA]

Some of the posts on here are absolutely ridiculous

A manager being sacked just out of the play offs! A manager walking away from his contract? What planet are you lot on! The alternatives are great aren't they!! All hail Phil Bloody Parkinson!

We are in transition and whilst we are there or thereabouts then nothing will change and club will not panic. This is no Brendan Rodgers scenario. Other fans visiting this site or even players for that matter must look on at us in utter bewilderment!

This is Rodgers all over again. Couple of seasons to change it please. I can make do with crap games and mid-table finishes for a couple of years if the end result is a better style of play and a future to build on.

Fans losing interest in his dire football, owners must act to entice fans back through the turnstiles - get rid of Adkins.

Above all else we need the cash from bums on seats. Investment is more likely if the books look good.

Well our books don't look good, yet investment looks very likely.. Thankfully investors have a long-term view, and not a short-term one like many of our impatient little oiks for fans.

A long term view of falling further down the table?

What are you wittering on about now? A new owner will have a long-term plan in mind, unlike you who wants everything now.

And as for stay away fans, you do realise we have the highest average attendance for us, in the football league at this stage of the season? You are sounding more and more like a fairweather newbie with every post.

Why the obsession with money

We have one of the best, if not the best ever, squads in our history. What we are lacking is a manager who is capable of getting the best out of it............................Adkins has done ABSOLUTELY F*CK ALL since the day he arrived to suggest that he is the man for the job.

Unless, by some miracle, Bodgekins starts to show signs of being fit to lace his predecessors boots, my seat will remain empty until the day he's gone.

This is my club, they are welcome to my £400 a year but I'm fcuked if I'm going to watch the turgid cr@p this vastly over rated physio deems a superior form of the game.

Yes and no.

No this isn't Rodgers all over again. Rodgers had zero record, took us into the relegation zone, changed his team around far more than Adkins did and had the audacity to be arrogant and call the season his preseason. Yes he went on to clubs with decent players and did ok with the players he inherited but at the time he was a nobody who basically was clueless with our squad and dragged us into a relegation fight. I didn't agree with his sacking so soon but I wasn't outraged, it was totally reasonable. Adkins on the other has an impeccable record, has us hovering in the playoff zone, seems to have some idea what he's doing and is anything but arrogant or cocky. Like Rodgers he wasn't given the financial backing he was promised but we have every reason to believe he'll do ok with eventual funds, given his record. We can very safely say yes we should stick with him.

Yes though I basically agree with your point but wanted to make it much more obvious. If retrospect we *may* have been ok sticking with Rodgers (although I think he may well have taken us down actually) but we will definitely be ok sticking with Adkins.

Plus To even question Adkins' ability is moronic given we're screwed in terms of ownership so Adkins couldn't /can't strengthen as he wants.

Adkins isn't Reading, he doesn't connect with the fans, and he is turning people away with his terrible team selections and boring style of football.

Nice to think of you waiting with baited breath for my every post.

Happy new year to you and your long suffering family.

It was actually posted in response to LOLoyaLOLRoyals's witterings - but if you feel the cap fits, crack on.

To be honest, if Adkins is managing to drive away "fans" of the ilk of yourself and LOLoyaLOLRoyalLOL then he's doing an even better job than I could have hoped for.

And it's "bated".

Your the Mod (supposedly ) and if you can't make it clear to whom your remarks refer

Nevertherless, your latter remarks show beyond doubt that my observations were right on the money so..................fcuk you.

[Platypuss]

You're.

[Woodcote Royal]

After 10? years, it would seem you are finally getting to grips with what your job here entails. Well done.

[marcusopp]

If he did go who would be the alternative?

Whilst I'm running out of patience a little bit I'm still not sure there is anyone out there any better than what we have. Just wish we could see a little more progress that's all.

I hear that the guy they have a Leeds is good at getting the most out of relatively weak squad . . . . .

Totally. And he's a nice bloke. And he doesn't use sunbeds.
