    I get the feeling that some people are reading into things that are not there with Roddy.
    were they even at Reading at the same time?

    Adkins left there in 2014. Roddy arrived in 2017 so if a connection exists it’s not through Reading.

    Andy Crosby, Adkins assistant throughout the years, joined Port Vale last week. So if Adkins comes here, maybe JJ will be able to stay as assistant.

    As an aside, far too much emphasis seems to be getting put on managers imo, particularly intra game when players make mistakes. I’m starting to feel some fans think the managers control the players like computer games.

    good managers don’t guarantee success and bad managers don’t instantly mean failure. All of these people have been in football all their lives, their approach and decision making is relatively narrow and overlapping. 

    The right budget, coaching, support and medical team and facilities, training facilities, recruitment policy, contract management, club strategy etc are all just as important as the man who picks the team and sets the tactics and formation. 
    I used to partially think that until we had the succession of managers under RD where it was proven (in my eyes) beyond doubt the Manager is still the critical role. Players just seem unable to do it for themselves on the pitch.

    You might well say that under RD none of the infrastructure was there but that wouldn't be wholly true not least because he inherited stuff that was there. 

    Regardless the manager is still too important not to get it right.

    Just a note that Adkins has been promoted from this league three times. 
    Would have struggled to have said when the third time was after Scunthorpe and Southampton when he won the league - Good to know the other was via. the Play-Offs with the former

    No thanks to Adkins! Really don’t want him. Outdated and dissed us in the past I seem to recall.
    besides....

    Can you really see him even wanting to, he has been assistant long enough, and i feel he would do a good job in the hot seat if given the opportunity

    The way Johnnie spoke last night even he was questioning whether it was the right time to become Manager so not sure if he's fully tired of the assistant role just yet

    JJ didn’t seem 100% last night about applying to be manager. Maybe he’s happy to learn as assistant for another full season. Just thought it was an interesting fact that Adkins usual assistant is unavailable at this time

    Adkins did a decent job at hull. Took them over when they were 20th, moved them up to 18th. Then the next season they finished 13th in the Championship. 

    Sheffield United is his only 'failure' really. Leading directly to Wilder shooting them up the table. 
    Sheff U win % 41
    Hull win % 33

    He was probably being diplomatic, he loves this club and would jump at the chance if given it.

    Without even thinking about his coaching ability , we need a manager that excites the fans at the time when Season Tickets are about to go on sale.

    Nigel Adkins is NOT that person.

    Another note, the latest one of those was a decade ago.

    Times change and not all managers move with it, see Wenger/Mourinho.

    After 12 months without live football I could not care if we were managed by a blow up doll in the dugout. I will watch the lads win, lose or draw in rain, snow & sun so my season ticket will be bought regardless of who the manager is.

    That's great. Sadly not all fans think that way and are much more fickle than you or me.

    Apparently, Adkins' ancestors were Vikings.
