While he would have addressed the defensive issues quicker than Adkins, he might have made the same mistake in having a huge squad which Adkins is trying to address.
In retrospect, I do feel a bit sorry for him. He was right in his judgements about some players although his handling was wrong. He seems to have gotten mixed messages too. Build a big squad for league and cup yet that also got him fired.
Still, I'd rather have Adkins.
 
Nah...maybe Warnock is the answer.

What's Blackwell doing these days?
 
I am just so thoroughly depressed by us at the moment.. We seem to have gone backwards

Before he built a squad that was bloated with dross, he claimed that we only needed a few quality additions. If he's had mixed messages, he wasn't suggesting so at the start of last season. It was the action that was fucked up, not the message.

Yeah we just missed out on the league cup final, but that's harsh after coming so close v Spurs
It's not about the cups though, otherwise we'd swap strategies with Bradford. We need to get out of this league - and building such a bloated, overpaid, bang average third division squad is entirely his responsibility.

At the end of last season there was a poll on here that showed about 65% of Blades wanted to give Clough another year. This season the directors (Jim) have appealed to us to show patience and yet that was one attribute they couldn't display last June.

Last year at this time we and this 'collection of shite' were looking towards a League Cup Quarter Final against Premiership opposition. Tonight this same 'collection of shite' couldn't even get past Fleetwood.

At the end of last season, we finished twenty odd points off automatic promotion, as near to relegation, points wise. We couldn't win an argument at that point.

However it pans out with Adkins, it doesn't polish the utter turd that Clough laid, even if he rolled it in cup run glitter.

True, he kept saying that but then insisting it was a squad game. I swear Phipps said stuff about wanting a slightly bigger squad though, although evidently not to size we ended up with, which still managed to be unbalanced somehow. Having barely any fit CBs yet buying Scougall II in Holt was a strange decision. Nothing against Holt, but he wasn't a priority.

I'm sure Phipps didn't say "build a squad full of rubbish players", however large he wanted it to be. :)
