Ok - so if it is Adkins then fine - for all the cock and bull spilled on here. I’ve always thought of him as a manager who brings on young players from the youth system - probably from his Southampton days ..... but....,exactly who or what have we got in the youth system these days? The last time I looked the cupboard was being emptied by flogging the up and coming all over the place. Are there any likely to inspire over the next two years?0

Pardew signed Fonte the previous season.Chunes said:
Adkins signed Lallana and Fonte, not sure about the rest.killerandflash said:Adkins didn't build that Southampton team, it was Pardew's team that won L1 really.
You look at the players he had - Schneiderlin, Fonte, Lallana, Lambert, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jason Puncheon, Dean Hammond, that's a L1 cheat code!
They then lost Ox, but brought in Jack Cork and Billy Sharp the next season.
All those players I mentioned in 2010/11 were there when Adkins was appointed in September 2010. Of course Adkins did a good job to manage them, but he inherited an amazing side, with Pardew allegedly sacked for "off field" reasons

Adkins seems like a very friendly bloke, sort of manager players like and want to play for, rather than being slagged off in the press and critiqued to try and force them to play.4

As we've seen with our squad (particularly since January, which many considered to be excellent on paper), you've still got to get them playing and believe in what you are trying to get across to them. There were always mumblings on here and on Twitter that Bows had lost the dressing room, particularly in regard to the alleged incident with Jonny Williams being reduced to tears. From what I understand about Adkins and how he strikes me as a man, he's a motivator through positivity and encouragement, as opposed to thunderstorms and old school Fergie teacups thrown across the dressing room.killerandflash said:

It's that kind of thinking, in my opinion, would lend itself to building a team that can get out this league. I'm cautiously optimistic that this could be a good appointment.2 - Sponsored links:

After the way things ended with Bowyer and after binging Ted Lasso the other week, I'm well up for some wholesomeness right nowLeuth said: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...1 -
Reasons Against Adkins :
GlassesNigel
56 years oldHasn'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 1921.19 -

I just checked myself, regardless of where Lallana played football before the age of 12... id say he’s still a product of Southampton’s academy0 -

2014/15 - they finish 5th under Nigel Clough with 71 points
2015/16 - they finish 11th under Nigel Adkins with 66 points
2016/17 - they finish 1st under Chris Wilder with 100 points

I have nothing against Adkins. But JJ is the equivalent of a free bet. He should at least be given a handful of games. We were going to stick with Bowyer after all.
If it is Adkins in the next day or so, I would imagine he was already being lined up to take over from Bowyer. He has to be rushed through now in case JJ starts to make to strong a case for himself. But we shall see.1 -

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.1 -
