Still don't think Adkins is the problem.
We were shit before, we have got shitter with an incremental loss is player ability.
Adkins can only substitute shit players, with shit players.
Adkins can only voice club policy and won't risk damaging morale further.
I reckon if you were to speak to the bloke under Chatham House rules, he'd be a fucked off as us and welcome the exit of McCabe
pommpey
I have got to disagree. He is becoming a part of the problem.
He has only lost 1 player of ability this season (Murphy). All of the others, Adkins has sanctioned the moves.
Adkins HAS only substituted shit players with shitter players HE has wanted (Hammond/Woolford/Edgar etc)
Adkins picks the team, Adkins makes the substitutes, Adkins sets out the tactics and formations, Adkins is responsible for motivating the players, Adkins and his coaching team are responsible for getting the team ready for the upcoming games.
McCabe isn't the football manager and for all his faults, the blame cannot be laid at his door for what has turned out to be a piss poor manager.
McCabe appointed (or gave free reign to appoint) who we all thought was the best manager we could get - in this situation he seems damned if he does/damned if he doesn't. I, along with many others, thought that Adkins was a quality signing as manager. It just hasn't worked out at all this far.
I am by no means a McCabe apologist but he isn't accountable for the poor performance of this manager, who has failed in every sense to live up to the hype and expectation surrounding him.
