Will Adkins walk away from the Blades?

[Barney]

He sounds utterly deflated after yet another defeat. I wouldn't expect any less but it was a throwback to Weir's last few interviews.

It begs the question, will the pressure of being at a big club like ours and the inevitable criticism following bad results get the better of him? Certainly sounds like it's getting that way from his interviews.

If the automatics become out of sight at any point during this season, and the accusations of the board not giving enough support are true, I can honestly see him walking away and calling it a day.

If he hasn't got the mental strength to handle the job, he should walk away now. He has been in football long enough to know that few managers get any proper backing from our board. I cannot see for one minute, that Nigel will walk away from the job Barny.

I appreciate your views, and a valid explanation of your views, unlike above ^.

 

[Mendi]

The way this is going, he will be sadly sacked. Where is the Blades owners not been in UK again? who seem has lost his passion.

If he walks away it will be worth a comment but its just complete horseshit.

I don't think he'd walk away because of results / performances alone, but I equally don't think he'll allow his reputation to be ripped apart due to the board breaking any promises or overriding him in sales etc.

Whilst preparing your 2nd comment. Oh, the irony.

 

[PeteBlade]

He seemed to handle the pressure atSouthampton well enough.

A manager of his experience doesn't just walk away after a few losses.
Let's not be hysterical.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Adkins is a winner and likes a challenge.

Unlike some of our fans on here there's no way he would ever walk away.

So pleased that we haven't got people at the club like Barney.
A bit of adversity and he would pack it in and run away.
We need people like Adkins at the club up for the fight.
Still plenty of time yet and we with 2 or 3 of our best players due back soon.

That's Brayford, Done and Adams.
3 players who would get in any other team in league 1.

Are you that desperate to start a thread and see your name up there ? Surely you can do better than the manager sounds a bit deflated after a defeat and he might walk away.

What is it with posters mis-reading my posts. 'If the automatics become out of sight at any point' being the key phrase here.

3rd.

He won't walk away and promotion, at least via the play offs, ought to remain a possibility for most of the season. If we do fail to go up this season, I hope we don't sack him. Jim Phipps is on the record as saying that we don't want to be known as a sacking club and managers need to be given time to build their own team. That was before we sacked Clough of course.

If we do sack Adkins at the end of the season, we may as well get Warnock and Blackwell back and try to kick and fight our way out of this league.

He had good players at Southampton

I think he has some good players here. The difference being those at Southampton were willing to work in every game, not just now and then.

Exactly. As said BETTER players who played for eachother.

 

[Barney]

Even i'm to blame now. All i'm doing is sat in my bastard house watching my team fail week in week out.

You should try going to the games. It's often worse

Moved on from fans not getting behind the team at the lane to those at home now. We must all have to take our share barney

I attend all at the lane but very few away games. Knew that one was coming though, could see it a mile off.

 

[Blade56]

This thread is an insult to his professional integrity.

 

[Bladesman]

If I was him Id have probably not taken the job in the first place. He has had no real backing or support from the board.

The only good job the board have done is being able to convince him to join us in the first place.

 

[Barney]

This thread is an insult to his professional integrity.

Go on then, how?

 

[Whiston Blade]

Promotion or not, I expect Adkins should be given at least two seasons. We cannot keep chopping and changing. We end up with a mix of players from the old manager and new.

I wish you'd walk away.

How do you know this? Maybe Adkins has been provided the funds he needs but doesn't want to waste the money like Clough did

 

[Barney]

I wish you'd walk away.

Thanks sweetie x

That's not a positive thing to do, I thought he was the positive Nigel!
