    Actually, do open up the comments beneath that BBC article and give them a read. They should allay some doubters' fears.
    Very positive and does make you wonder what he might be able to achieve if TS gives him a bit of money to spend.

    When a manager's first name is the single biggest demerit to his appointment, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad appointment.

    Hell of a demerit, granted
    Oh fuck, sorry seth :/
  • Well it looks like it’ll be Adkins according to the bookies! I personally think he will do well with us in league one, don’t think he will repeat the double promotion though but I’ll settle for championship stability, which he’d bring!
  • Please let the gods of footy NOT give us Nigel fecking Adkins!

    This would be a massive step backwards.

    Kenny Jacket or the Cowleys, even Pulis but not Adkins. If he got the job over JJ you wouldn't blame him for not hanging around. 
    Pullis.....do me a favour, the bloke is anti football.
  • But, but, but Nigel 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
    I’ve officially christened him as a Nicky/Nicholas in my head to make it all ok.
    I have heard his nickname is Stripey.

    Here's the note Adkins left his Southampton players after he was sacked



    I think after Bowyer we may be entitled to a bit more wholesomeness about the place. I know you don't necessarily win anything being a nice guy, but players ARE humans...
    Don't like the way he writes his 'E's, and the nose on the smiley face is poor.
    But the ears and eyes are well drawn? 😂
  • Adkins has four promotions on his CV so we could do a lot worse.

  • Looking more like Adkins, just gone to 1/3 on Skybet, so just waiting for the announcement now
    I think that’s probably more to do with people having a few quid on him. The bookies don’t want to risk big payouts. 
    Exactly. If it was very likely they’d be offering 66/1 on.

    More importantly he's a busted flush. I'd say the same about Jackett. However I think you'll regret not going for the Cowleys.

    What have the Cowleys ever done for us?

    An appointment to really capture the hearts and minds of Charlton fans. There will be a scramble for Season Tickets that for sure ... 


    Well you got half of what you wanted.
    Someone once said be careful what you wish for.
  • Adkins is an improvement on Bowyer and should do well with the right backing. My biggest fear would be Pulis or Pardew.

    Yesterday afternoon when I looked he was circa 33’s.

    The football that the Cowley’s serve up is utter tripe. 
  • Reasons Against Adkins : 
    Glasses
    Nigel
    56 years old
    Hasn't won Premier title.
    Cafc fans love to moan
    Went to university
    Born across the Mersey from Liverpool
    Reads poetry
    Ex Goal keeper

    Reasons for Adkins:
    Three times promoted from League 1
    Physiotherapist 
    Intelligent
    Good man manager
    Calm under pressure
    15 years younger than Roy Hodgson.
    Very good tactical manager

    100% support from me who ever Thomas Sandgaard picks; unless it's Steve Evans or Tony Pulis.  
    Karel Freye would be problematical.  ;)

    Charlton fans have been underwhelmed since 1921.


    Everyone is 15 or more years younger than Hodgson 
    Except for @TCE who is of the same age!!!🤣🤣🤣

    You have ‘reads poetry’ in the wrong section.

    I performed poetry and spoken word In Covent Garden at the poetry Cafe (pre covid) so you are correct.

    In our world of the absurd Seth where Cafc fans are waiting for goals, most of the "against" are positives for me.

    If he can use his middle name Howard instead of Nxxxl that would be advantageous.

    I read the first 20 comments beneath the article and they all praised Adkins.
  • edited March 2021
    Honestly don't understand why the Wilder mentions are getting LOL'ed.

    He's gone from Northampton to Sheffield United (who he took over in league one), not Manchester United to Real Madrid. 

    He may fancy his chances higher up the pyramid but the Charlton job is far from unrealistic. 
    For the exact same reason that Curbs never managed a team again in the Championship or anything, he thought he had earned the right to a better calibre of club. 
  • Have to say massively underwhelmed by this but I hope he proves me wrong

    Surely if we get £350k out of the brummies
    then you lump it on a manager as a bonus for promotion

    I see us and Pompey as quite similar size clubs so annoying the Cowleys have chose us over them

    Against. I hope you piled on? :-)
  • I watched this earlier:

    Seems like he was never really backed at Hull. He talks about having a first team squad (before pre-season starts) of 20 seniors + 10 from the U23's which provides a pathway for the academy.
