Yeh but he was usually a 6 hour flight away.
I don't count twitter and Facebook as being vocal and visible when running a football club.

If the comments about him losing all the team are correct then fair enough.

Otherwise, I'm disappointed to say the least.

There was a comment about Adkin's total spend of being £1.5 million with wages. Then there the comment that CW has to work with a smaller budget. If you take Murphy going for £1.5 million, plus his wages and the wages of all the others Akins ships out, then CW will have a budget of about -£1 million. So he has to sell Che and then work with whatever is left over.

If the reports are true that we've agreed pre-contracts with 9 players, then that's all the scouting and planning gone now.

With the comment from CW about the retained list, then we're going to have to lump the same shit with a handful of new signings. Brilliant.

Getting rid of the entire backroom team means that a year of scouting has completely gone to waste.

We start again at a very bad position. I'm ambivalent about CW. We'll see but I'll not be surprised if we're in a similar position next year.

I know virtually shit all, yes.

Thank you for being so candid. That explains many of your replies to my quality posts.

So you would have stuck with a manager who probably would have signed Dean Hammond. And who managed to finish 11th in L1. And also managed a team that had not come from behind to win a match all season?

Nigel Adkins wasn't perfect by far, but I think far too much of the blame for his season has been laid at his feet by a board who let his predecessor sign a shitload of bang average players and wouldn't back him in January. Yes, Hammond & Woolford were shit signings (Sammon supposedly all but agreed before NA's arrival), but I don't for a second think those signings would have been first choice if the purse strings weren't tightly closed. Hammond had served him well in the past; how was he to know that his legs had gone if he wasn't getting near Leicester's first team? Even LCFC fans thought he was a cracking signing.

Nigel and his team will have had plans in place for next season. They'll have known what we needed, who they were going to go for, a plan for next season etc. etc. That's down the shitter now, and we'll have yet another guy, with different ideas, a different style, a different way of doing things. Been said by NTFC fans that he needs time to build his team and I have absolutely no confidence that this board will allow him to do that.

I'm not vehemently pro-Nigel, but I'm definitely anti-sacking. I don't see how appointing Wilder puts us in better stead for a promotion push next season, which has already been stated as our top priority. I don't see chopping and changing until we get it right as a viable way to run a football club. In fact, I think it's suicidal.

Che Adams has been here 18 months and he's on his third gaffer. It's just ludicrous.

I have friends who are Oxford fans, It took him time to build their team. He's got both Clough and Adkins players to sort out, at, a higher level than he's ever managed before. Realistically he'll need longer than a year. The question is will he get it? I don't understand some of the things McCabe does Forgive me if I'm wrong but wasn't Wilson sacked just days after the close of the window? It makes no sense, but, sadly it's why you're stuck where you are
