Can't see it being either Robinson or Adkins to be honest. I sense an underwhelming appointment and after the initial furore, we'll all be resigned to give him a fair go. If we don't get off to a flyer, the knives will be out and we'll have another year of debating his qualities/flaws before we bow out in the play offs again. Its groundhog day I tell you, I just pray that I am wrong.

As I keep saying that's the old Bladey Blade way, have faith, build and they will come.

What would be worse is that it is one of the above and the rest of the post happens anyway.

Who the f*ck is John Hughes?

Was a bad analogy but was trying explain the difference between normal and protected contracts. Thing is you said "If we sign Adkins he'd need to settle with Reading" That's happened and he choose Gardening leave. Basically Utd would have to approach Reading with a buy out offer, because, legally his Reading contract is still seen as valid and you can't approach him directly. I do love the finer points of contracts law :) pain in the arse innit:D

First course of action would be to ask Adkins if we offered him the job he'd go back to settle with Reading.
If we're taking his back room staff they may prefer to get on with their careers than fight on with little gain.
 
Someone just put a comment on Facebook to Jim Phipps saying "Good job on Adkins" and he replied with "let's not start unfounded rumours. Please wait for it. When we have a nailed on solution, we will let everybody know at once".
 

I really like phipps and his relationship with the supporters. I'm not a big fan of over the top yanks,but for him,I will make an exception.
Is there any other club that has a person that keeps the supporters in the picture??
A very honest and open chap.




If he comes out and announces parkinson I'm gonna thrash the heffer!

Does that means we are after Adkins then? This is absolute torture
 
"Who needs Mourinho? We've got our physio!" Was for Adkins? I'd completely forgot about that.

I read it as though they haven't got anyone yet :D

I read it as a package from the term 'solution' maybe a DoF and a manager....
I'll go for Adkin as DoF and Parkinson as team coach :eek:

Think Jim should announce it through S24SU where all the NEW Bladey Blades are

They could reveal his taxidermy corpse to the fans and it'd still be better received than Parkinson, seemingly. :eek:
 
News in the mean streets of Dronfield, is that the we have agreed to the release clause on Parkinson's contract....... Can't and won't believe it myself..... But there you go.
