Don't you like him ?Looks like the only way he's going to go is if he resigns then, which is a shame but nothing unexpected.
Beginning of the end when you start talking about the lenght of your contract, 6 months in.
Might be a message to the players.
Remember when Porter was alleged to have told Weir 'I'll be here longer than you'.
Whether that actually happened or not, there is a prevailing attitude amongst modern players that they can oust a manager, indeed often they do.
More likeHe's had a conversation with both owners they were over the phone and went something like this
Call one..
NA "Hello Kevin it's Nigel,"
KMc "ahh right hello Nigel, what can I do for you"
NA "I want to discuss signings in the loan window"
KMc "right, yes, ... Good idea I was going to get in touch to talk to you about that, .......listen, it's a bit difficult to speak right now I've just teed off at the Royal Golf club in Brussels and its left me a tricky second into the green, can I give you ring back at a more convenient moment?"
NA "no problem boss call back anytime"
KMc "yes. Okay then... Bye"
Call two
NA "hello Your highness its Nigel"
HRH "Nigel?... "
NA. "Nigel... Nigel Adkins..?."
HRH (.....silence.....)
NA. "Manager of Sheffield United?"
HRH " (.....silence....)
NA "the football club?... In England..? "
HRH " Oh! Yes of course sorry yes that thing yes yes. How can I help"
NA "I want discuss signings in the loan window"
HRH "oh.... Well I see... You know it would be better if you went through Jim Phipps for that sort of thing he is much more knowledgeable than me on these matters"
NA " oh well ok if you're sure?"
HRH "yes yes much better to speak to him, errrr can I ask how you got this number by the way?"
NA "well it was on the bottom of my contract"
HRH "I see well that's something we need to look at, anyway take care I hope the weather is OK over there in Shrewsbury... Bye"
Defiantly something going on beginning of the end for NA. Doesn't sound like "the owners " are helping him one bit.
Then again Sammon Hammond and Woolford have probably put them off sanctioning any more deals.
Who's gonna start the "might be worth going down so we can rebuild"
Basically, when we can't get in the play-offs, hovering around mid - table and looking like we are safe from relegation, the kids come in, and we play from the back.Not a massive fan of Adkins, nor of the way he speaks, but I'd recommend everyone watching that clip - he spoke really well I thought.
Foulkes baby?Defiantly something going on beginning of the end for NA. Doesn't sound like "the owners " are helping him one bit.

Last few interviews NA seems to mention the owners want to get to the Premiership really? Let's concentrate on formulating a strategy, plan to get promoted from this division that appears to be a major hurdle at the minute.
Great interview from Adkins. Give the bloke time to build.
That'd be an improvement on the losses we currently play for!Another 2 seasons of playing for draws at home in L1. Great.
