I am just going by the Thomas interview last night before the game, his body language and words indicated to me he wants to bring someone else in.eastterrace6168 said:

No it won't.Valleysarr said:It will be JJ
Could be wrong.1 -
As said I am not remotely excited for Adkins but if that who it is he gets my support in the same way every other manager has.

Don’t care who it is as long as JJ stays involved in some capacity.0

My Saints supporting mate with this to say about Adkins when I asked:'Good mate. Ioved him. Was sad when he left. Nice and attacking.'12

That's optimistic, considering he had 2 brief spells in the PL back in 2012/13Callumcafc said:
Really telling final question in this interview.Callumcafc said:March 11th interview with Nigel Adkins in the second half of this podcast. Talks a bit about what he’s up to lately, his managerial career and his philosophy etc.
https://twitter.com/timlovejoy/status/1370681966048202753?s=21
Says he’s had lots of offers from the UK and abroad but wants the right project. Wants to get himself back into Premier League management and to do that you have to go through the Championship. He wants to give his all to his next job, play good football and develop young players for the future. Therefore rules himself out of any short term appointments.
All of the above, along with his reputation for being one of the most positive men in football would blend really well with Thomas in an interview.0 -
Is there actually any truth to Adkins? First I saw was a post on here this morning asking if people would like him. Is this just a typical snowballing we see a lot of and then gets picked up elsewhere then turns into everyone having a meltdown or is there actual discussions going on?0

Adkins sounds like Roddy doing an old mate a favour, doesn't seem to meet the spec TS was laying out.2

How tall is Adkins?5

If the game is crap then at least we can laugh at Wenger trying to get his zip done up on his rain jacket.bobmunro said:
So if Wenger could be persuaded by Thomas to take the job you would not agree?BR7_addick said:
Another note, the latest one of those was a decade ago.Chunes said:Just a note that Adkins has been promoted from this league three times.
Times change and not all managers move with it, see Wenger/Mourinho.
Football hasn't changed that much in 10 years.2 -
Redhenry posted saying it "was done" and he has been known to be right.2

I think that for some people the issue with Adkins is that he comes across as a bit bland. He’s not one of the lads or a loveable character. He’s even called Nigel, FGS.Personally I don’t care, as long as he gets us out of Div 3.3

Adkins is the complete anti of what TS said he wanted.
Jobs for mates.
Disappointed.1 -
Agreed and the fact that he is currently 10/11 fav on SkyBetChunes said:

Surprised all the rumours so far have been for unemployed managers. Lee Bowyer wasn't unemployed when Brum came in for him.3

Yeah but there are rumours and then there are rumours based on nothing but someone asking an innocent question.Chunes said:

Why do people who wanted bowyer out need to hang their heads in shame? Bowyer had gone stale and needed to move on.masicat said:Assume all those wanting Bowyer out are now hanging their heads. I go on record now on saying if we appoint managers like Adkins, we are heading for Dave Jones and Harry Redknapp. Out of work ex managers who once done something quite good.
I didn’t want Jackson, but now I do.
appointing Adkins, if it happens has nothing to do with whether people wanted bowyer gone. Bowyer walked by the way, which created the vacancy, rather than him being sacked by fan pressure.
im very underwhelmed by Adkins but can’t see why I should be hanging my head.1 -
Good shout, if Thomas really is ambitious why don't we tap a few managers up.Chunes said:Surprised all the rumours so far have been for unemployed managers. Lee Bowyer wasn't unemployed when Brum came in for him.1 - Sponsored links:

can you explain how they are old mates, I'm intrigued to know their relationship?Redvaliant said:Adkins sounds like Roddy doing an old mate a favour, doesn't seem to meet the spec TS was laying out.13 -
Is it Wengers fault that the board didn't back him to replace players of the same calibre as Henry , Pires , Gilbeto Silva, Campbell ,Bergkamp ect. Or is it that he just hadn't been playing the latest football manager and reading management tutorials and thats why arsenal didn't do as well once they moved to the emirates.BR7_addick said:

And to add to this, my Reading supporting mate in the same group said:FishCostaFortune said:My Saints supporting mate with this to say about Adkins when I asked:'Good mate. Ioved him. Was sad when he left. Nice and attacking.''It be lots of positive talk and sound bites. Got a bit ridiculed at reading about it wen things were not going so well.
Agree he will want a team playing good passing football'
Fills me with a little more confidence if it is him that we will play some decent football at least.

What do your Scunthorpe, Hull and Sheff U supporting mates say?FishCostaFortune said:

Can't decide how I'd feel about Adkins.
(I know, super insightful)4 -
A manager who with good backing put together a league 1 team were half of them played for the club in the Premier league.
Back to back promotions. Attacking football.
3 promotions from this division.
I really don't get the negatives?15 -
No worries Dazz, Thomas & Ged just said take your time and they will make the call once you make your mind up.Dazzler21 said:Can't decide how I'd feel about Adkins.
