Woodcote RoyalIan Royal McDermott and Coppell's day here is done. Adkins has the seat now and if he left we'd be better looking forward to Dolan or someone new than looking back to Brian. It can never be the same. We've already had his legacy tainted a touch I'd rather not risk destroying it with a second spell maybe going wrong. It would be agony.
It beggars belief that people still slag off McDermott's style of play, with squads deprived of their best player at the start of every campaign, following a season of utter dross from Adkin's and his £16m parachute payment.
His defences can't defend and his tedious obsession with passing rarely produces more than a handful of chances/ shots on target per game.
Given the numbers here who can't wait to stick their heads where the sun doesn't shine, Nige must have the biggest arse in football.
It's not just McDermott I'd have back in a flash, I'm hard pushed to think of another Champ manager I wouldn't swap Adkins for.
This guy has achieved absolutely NOTHING since the day he walked through the door..........................and in my book that puts him on a par with Burns (RIP) and Bullivant.
£16M parachute payment?!!! Like Adkins ever got to see much of that!
How about the money that McDermott apparently had to spend but didn't? One thing is certain, McDermott was given far more money in his last January transfer window with us that Adkins got in the last window!
As for Adkins achieving nothing - what crap. Despite the antics, mismanagement and broken promises from Zingarevich, Samuelson, Madejski & co he still managed to get a team/squad ravaged by injuries (to a greater extent than McDermott had to endure) to within a whisker of a playoff place.
