More "updates" from Adkins

[SRBlade]

He actually did say United Together at one point, I laughed out loud.

What was even more hysterical is this following exchange between him and Giddings (9mins 10seconds): http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03jz3pj

Giddings - "do you think players being out of contract in the summer is affecting the players mentality" (or something along those lines)

Adkins - "the minds a wonderful thing, well who knows whats going on in peoples minds. There was a Pixar movie recently, you know, the one where there are people living inside peoples minds....so who knows whats going on in peoples minds".....WHAT????? His answer to that question was to talk about a cartoon film.

Imagine Pep, Fergie, Wenger, even Allardyce or Warnock coming out with that crap in an interview. He gave that answer to a very serious and valid question. He then followed up with saying "no matter if your out of contract your playing for one, you have to go and perform in the arena."....I'm sorry Nige but this isn't ice hockey. We don't play in Arena's, we play in stadiums, on football pitches. Just another one of his many 'Brentisms".

I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks this was a good interview are as out of their minds as Adkins is. Truly cringeworthy listening, just jargon.

This talk about creating a blue print for how "Sheffield United Football Club" will play is just fanciful crap again. We've been trying to do that every since Blackwell and the club came out with the "Blades Way", which itself was just a fad that every other club were doing, passed on down from the F.A. Every club has a "Way" now. It's just lip service.

In defense of Adkins he didn't actually say things may get worse, Giddings said that, he said we may need to feel more pain. I agree with that, we're going to feel a boatload more pain having to listen to his interviews for however long he's at the helm. We'll feel a lot more pain when he tries to play like Barcelona in League 1 with league 1 players and we are mid table next year.

This is making me miss Danny Wilson.

I'm glad I don't bother listening to anyone from the club anymore as it is just a waste of time, yet Adkins seems to be bordering on insulting with some answers you have quoted from him, this is a grown adult trying to lead a squad of men, Jesus.

But you're happy to take comments from those of us on here as Gospel whether true or not, and then base your opinion on us rather than try to find or check the facts? Just so you know he also said that he wants us to play in blue and white stripes next season . I wouldn't trust the accuracy many of us on here mate - and that's not having a pop at anyone, just how we are because most of what we say is just our opinion and how we interpret something.

Yes, my fevered imagination.

But....I do work in transatlantic company full of silos, lunatics, incompetents (at all levels) ego maniacs, control freaks and also a lot of normal and capable people, I speak with everyone from the CEO to the cleaners so I do know a bit about what goes on in these organisations.

This all sounds familiar, do I know you?

Actually not a bad analogy.

Are you Nigel Adkins? You have said "alluded" at least once today

I wrote out what he said word for word. Pretty accurate.

I don't know how anyone can defend his interviews.

Got to ask what a silo is.

Can't work out whether it's autocorrect or yet another corner of the human race I need to avoid.

What makes you think I was getting at you? Never entered my mind.

It's a tank you store things in. A tall thin one usually, often found on farms and in quarries. It's used to describe companies where different departments don't or won't communicate with each other, 'silo mentality'.

Just for the avoidance of doubt I did know what a silo (eg grain store) was ...but I hadn't heard this usage. Makes sense. Cheers.

Agreed ....... provided the "released list" contains the vast ma

I would be more than happy that once we are 100% safe for the club to turn around to said players and suspend them until the end of the season if there is no other way. That gives the manager a chance to send a message out to the fans exactly what's been going off and who the tossers are.

The end of the season can't some quick enough, can't wait to see the list of players released.

Agreed ...... provided that the released list contains the vast majority of this overpaid, underperforming, bottleless set of laggards !!!
