He's hardly called us all a set of moaning cunts has he? He just pointed out that we aren't happy and he can understand why.

The fans have had a dig at him with the "sacked in the morning" and he has given a bit back. If you dish it out, you can't start crying if you get some back.

Anyway it'll all be forgotten next season and we'll judging him on the early results.

No it will not be forgotten. If he thinks it will has even more of an idiot than he seems.
 

Having read peoples' comments before listening to the interview, I got, almost, to the end thinking, "what's the big deal?", this is standard, post-match guff.

And then came his killer comment, which, in case you missed it: "They vented their er, well since the day we joined, actually. You know, so it's been like that since the very first game of the season, against Gillingham."

We have our fair share of paying supporters who aren't slow to get on an individual's or the team's back, few would argue with that. However, Adkins' proposition must be that ours are worse than those at any other under-achieving club? Really? Seriously? Is this the root of our current difficulties?

I wasn't at Coventry (thankfully) but I have seen supporters rally round the team in recent weeks, especially when the team has put a real shift in - even, when the result wasn't what was needed, e.g. the 0-0 v Barnsley. In fact, whenever the team has had a real go the supporters have been quick to respond.

Adkins's interview belied a man who has failed to deliver, knows his days are numbered and is looking around frantically for someone else to blame.

His team, today, was abysmal - shambolic! It included 5 players he signed (Edgar, Baptiste, Woolford, Hammond and Sharp), one he recalled (Long) and another he made captain (McEveley). Not all are bad players, indeed Billy is one of very few who can look back on his contribution this season with a sense of pride and Baptiste is a class act. Adkins's job is to make the whole better than the sum of the parts. He's failed to do this - we've got worse. Of many lamentable performances today, Hammond and Edgar stood out for their abjectness and Woolford for being a complete non-entity (his show of petulance aimed at the Kop as he left the pitch was not the brightest act for a player with another year left of his contract). All three, Adkins signings.

What I saw today was what I've seen for most of the season. A team which lacks spine, conviction and purpose. One which is capable of much more than it generally delivers, as we saw in the Walsall goals and performance.

In his interview, Adkins mentions the heat, his lack of signings and those dastardly supporters who he so looked forward to visiting as an opposition manager. Well sorry, Nigel, not good enough.

He mentions Gillingham but fails to reflect on his complete lack of judgement in starting that first game with a back four including McFazdean, Collins and McEveley. He also believed it was wise to start the season with a 4-4-2 formation, despite the fact he had no, credible, holding midfielder on the books at the time.

He bemoans his lack of signings but makes no mention of the negligible or negative impact of some of those he has signed, at great expense.

He overlooks the number of times his team's performance has diminished after a promising start - in particular after he's shared his half-time wisdom.

Adkins saved his final, killer comment for the club's supporters, who, in his mind, have had it in for him "since the day we joined." Nigel, needs a reality check. I cannot recall a manager who was so universally welcomed and lauded. Not Porterfield, not Bassett, not Kendall and certainly not Warnock. He arrived on a wave of goodwill and a desperation amongst the club's supporters for him to succeed. Despite his failings and his team's disastrous performance, this season, he still retained the support of a majority, prepared to 'keep the faith' and hope he can get it right next season.

Amongst Adkins' many errors across the season, his biggest had been the pivotal signing of Hammond and his steadfast championing of a player who's performances have been increasingly at odds with his manager's appraisal. He's now trumped this with his outburst against the club's supporters who he has lambasted en-masse. His Hammond error was critical. Today's interview seems terminal.

Can't argue with much of that pal, however, as bad as Hammond was today (and he was garbage), Woolford actually had a half decent game compared to most of the rest of "midfield" (and I use that term loosely)

I still can't believe he's had a pop at the fans for daring to be pissed off about losing 4-0 to Gillingham.

Also, anyone got a list of these 25 players which Adkins has moved on since he arrived? No, because that's a total lie.

Not from Dronfield are you?
 
I have to smile wryly when I think of all the shit that's been thrown at fellow poster Barney all season because his perceived crime has been to say that Adkins is a crap manager , and look at all you bandwagon jumpers , now that you can see what Barney has been telling you all along , that Nigel Adkins is certifiably insane and should not be trusted to sit the right way round on a toilet , let alone manage a football team !
 
Seems like the fans' dissatisfaction with Adkins is as bad if not worse than the ire directed against Clough 12 months ago. For all his faults Clough at least got us in the Play Offs

If 5th place in League One is deserving of the sack for both Clough and Wilson, what does an 11th place finish deserve?

I feel for the bloke, but it could be all over for him now
 
I don't think the club will sack him.

I've listened to Adkins post match interview and I have to say the blokes clearly rattled. It's the worst season we have had, and as a number of you say that surely has to be worthy of the boot. Sadly i think sacking him is the wrong message to the players. The majority have been atrocious this year. We need a complete clear out. With Adkins I think that's likely to happen now, if we bring in someone else, he will want to give them all a sodding chance, and this time next year we will be exactly where we are now.

This is without a doubt the worst squad I can remember. No passion, no work ethic. we are always outplayed whenever I see us play. Some of the teams and squads in this league are poor, yet they seem to have such an easy ride against us. How many times in various places has Madden popped up and scored against us for crying out loud. There has been such a shift in mentality at the club. The demands to play football on the deck all the time. Look at the smaller type players it has brought. Very rarely turn up, and bullied to easily. I would like to see us going back to being a strong physical side, hassling teams, and being a nightmare to play. That's how you win points at this level. If that means being a bit more direct then so be it.

Exactly Sitters.....we all know it wasn't for injury or tactical reasons but he didn't have the balls to admit Hammond was wank. No doubt it's the fans fault we paid him 17k a week for being utter dross. Adkins acted like a spoilt child. Be honest Nige. You've fucked up big time
 
Listening to McCabe last night NA going no where. This has been a year of transition

Sounds to me like he is on his way as he slagged off the fans on several occasions.

When asked about substitution of Hammond he blocked it by saying he doesn't have to justify his subs to the reporter.

Said we'd been on fire in training but it was hot today and we didn't carry the intensity into the game. Maybe they trained too hard (well that puts your computer based stats packages on player energy and performance into cock, then)

Been here before and knows crowd can be on players backs - it's always been the same and will in all probability continue to be so.

Shifted out 25 players and bemoans fact that he has brought in fewest number of players in the league. Two perm and 4 on loan.

Crowd was moaning from first game of season (who fucking wouldn't being stuffed 4-0 at Gillingham) and its continued on for the rest of the season.

Sitting down with all players one on one next week to determine their futures.

Well let's hope they all fuck off and Adkins with them.

I didn't get the impression from that he is going anywhere, talked a lot about next season. I'm not holding my breath for an announcement anytime soon..
 
Hopefully he will get longer provided he does swing the axe big time this summer.

I know all the koolkids want him out and the way that we have performed this last season makes that a valid stance to take.

BUT for me, chopping managers every season has not done us any favours and mismanagement from the top has left us with a squad of slow, aging mercenaries with no thoughts for the club or its fans. But we are here at least for another season and will installing a new manager change anything?

Then Adkins needs to grow a pair and publicly apologise to the supporters. He probably doesn't realise the damage he's done with those comments. We all know it's doubtful anything will be said though.

So Adkins added Woolford, Edgar and Hammond to the legacy of Coutts, McEveley, Higgo and the disputed Sammon.
Not sure "the top" made those choices.

Then Adkins gets rid of JCR, Freeman and Scougall so he can fit his main chum into a formation he doesn't get too exposed in and we lose any pace we had in the side altogether. He sticks Adams up top - who can't play with his back to goal and has the first touch of a bag of cement (Adams is more effective coming in from wide) and has to rely on Sharp to score or we don't get any points.

Sure, I concede. It's not his fault. The man is a fucking football genius !!!!

So you don't agree that we have been mismanaged from the top?

That's fine, it's all about opinions :)
 
This was the first match of the season I didn't watch or follow live on BP. I didn't find out the result until very late last night and have just listened to the interview. Just a few thoughts:

1) There is a career opportunity as a PR at Railtrack beckoning - he has the wrong kind of weather speech off pat already.
2) The "us" of us and them has changed for him - sounds like us = Adkins and coaching staff, them = Board, supporters and the club
3) It sounds as if there is a Board meeting to get through before he is by any means certain he will be here next season
4) He is in a hole and should stop digging - the attacks on the supporters is like swopping a shovel for a JCB
5) He feels his "unseen work" behind the scenes in the clubs infrastructure and playing staff (and we all know there is shedload to do) is not being appreciated (dig at the Board). We do need to distinguish between his failures and the chronic perennial failures of the club. The latter won't go away just by sacking Adkins in my view.
6) Managing and playing for Sheffield United is the school of hard knocks and that should come as no surprise - and that interview just made the mountain to climb that little bit bigger.
7) Clough was as much part of the problem and contributed to that mountain as much as Adkins has. Hinesight seems to be making some forget Clough turned on the fans towards the end and was equally devoid of ideas despite blowing the promotion warchest on some very poor players.
8) The 50/50 ownership is paralysing the club - we are not moving forward with any conviction - more of a case of the lowest common denominator at Board level I feel.
9) This season seems all the more disastrous because of our neighbours -pigs and dingles.
10) The Board and and manager need to stop all this "we were unlucky" guff-it won't wash - you make your own luck in this world.

Apologise? Damage he has done? Are you serious?

Maybe you should grow a pair and stop crying like a little bitch over something minor?
 
"We know this season's been a disappointment, and I have to share some of the responsibility for that, but I just want say, right now, to those 11,500 fans who've already renewed that next season we're going to be stronger, faster, more hungry and determined. The work to achieve that, and in turn gain promotion starts Monday morning."

Or, just slate the fans for not wildly celebrating 0-4 to Gillingham, 2-0 to Scunny, and all the dross in between. Whichever works best for you, C3-PO.

Yes it will, if the appointment's of someone more attuned to the particular challenges here, at this club. And more able to deal with them.

All this "changing managers hasn't helped us before" both isn't true (Nobson? Weir?) & is an avoidance of taking a stance on Adkins's own performance.

Adkins has been truly shit. So it's now all about whether or not there are reasonable grounds to expect him to be less shit next season.

Personally, I can't see those grounds - the ineptness of the last few games, when a bit of pressure was on, wiped out the shaky progress seen in the previous few.

Adkins's previous record of success at clubs that weren't stuck in the mire (& who presented much less of a challenge) just doesn't wash any more. He's a "good times" manager, not one suited to turning around a club stuck firmly in the shit. He's just gone & embedded us in that shit even more this season. The job's too much for him.

He made his judgment after about 2 weeks. That was where the criticism came from.

For me, far too many were calling it half way into the season, which is touching on pathetic. But when Barney becomes the acceptable norm, the fans really will have become a big part of the problem.

I have to smile wryly when I think of all the shit that's been thrown at fellow poster Barney all season because his perceived crime has been to say that Adkins is a crap manager , and look at all you bandwagon jumpers , now that you can see what Barney has been telling you all along , that Nigel Adkins is certifiably insane and should not be trusted to sit the right way round on a toilet , let alone manage a football team !

While I agree with this comment in part; the law of averages says that Barney must get something right in the end ;)

Percentage wise I think he's hit about 6% of 'stated facts' :rolleyes:

No offence intended Barney lad :)
