Nigel takes over at Hull

[PaulHalfway]

Hope he endeavours to keep them up with hard work, grit and determination, 18 month contract

 

[axel smeets]

They might as well burn their ground down now and go and support Grimsby Town.

 

[I should coco]

Hope he endeavours to keep them up with hard work, grit and determination,

On the edge of the North Sea with the Humber Estuary, so far more geese spotting opportunities. Looks like a great fit!

Football is the only job where you can do absolutely shite in your previous job and your next job will be higher up the ladder. Madness!

 

[bertieblade]

Such a pity dull ull have already played at BDTBL, we could have told him what we think of his management techniques aligned to his astute use of our transfer / contractual budgets.

 

[SwissBlade]

Adkins bingo
- great bunch of lads
- hard working
- determined
- not the result we wanted
- “the art of war”
- formation of geese
- Dean is a leader and an athlete

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

As absolutely shite as he was here (and at Reading) he was really good before that, so who knows?

I'm not sure how well his regular 'we wanted to win the game, didn't we?' post-defeat interviews will go down in Hull though.

 

[Ricky]

Unbelievable.

'It's who you know, not what you know'

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Good luck to him,he's a nice bloke,but it did not work out with us,i was glad when he left.....................would like to listen to his first interview and count how many times he says.........."we're well aware"

You mean at Southampton where Les Reed has produced a conveyor belt of some of the best young talent in the game today?

With a youth system producing the likes of Bale, Walcott, Ox, Luke Shaw, Clyne, Lallsna - the list goes on... I reckon I could have gotten Southampton out of League One...

I spent 5 minutes last night reading Swindon fans opinions of Leon Clarke. Just saying.

 

[bornablade]

Any chance of a 'View from.....' the Hull fans on the appointment?

You could spend hours reading about what other teams thought of Leon. The difference for Leon is that his best spell has been his most recent one

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Look out for WilliamHenryFoulkes on Hull message boards. Action: Roygbiv ?

Oh, and first prize (season ticket in the best seat in the KC that faces the sea) goes to anyone who can name a Hull-playing, lard-based, Edwardian-era equivalent of our own tubby hero, for WHF's new avatar.

The job should have gone to Terry Curran - he would have been the perfect solution!

Nice bloke, positive Nige, just didn't work out here.

He signed Billy but also......... 'The Unseen'.........

He led us to mid table mediocrity. Hull may well settle for that this season looking at the table.

Good luck to him.

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Hammond Sammon and Woolford stood by the phone right now .

After getting sacked for being wank and getting a massive payoff

Hang fire you can still get a bet on NA being the next hull manager ,I have just checked

He led us to mid-table mediocrity in the 3rd tier with the best striker in the division by a country mile. His tenure was a utter clusterfuck.

He was poor here, but I don't understand the levels of hate aimed at him from Blades. He obviously wanted a I do well here but it didn't work out, he left well over a year ago, surely we ought to be over it now, especially since his leaving opened the door for Wilder.

Good luck to him I hope it works out for him this time.

 

[TJB.]

He was poor here, but I don't understand the levels of hate aimed at him from Blades.

I was quite a staunch defender of his on here for a long while, but when I saw absolutely no signs of improvement and plenty of steps backwards, I saw the light and realised I'd been flogging a dead horse.

The man is an absolute charlatan. There's no better word to describe him. He didn't have a clue, commanded no respect in the dressing room because he talked so much bollocks and bullshitted decent players (see Scougall).

Did he have sod all to spend? Yes, but so did Wilder. Obviously CW is a far superior manager, but I think we can all agree that even for low fees and freebies, the man signed some of the worst players to ever grace our hallowed turf.

Don't understand the hate? Remember the performances of Conor Sammon then get back to us!

Edit: To add a little more, a lot of the hate is personal for many. I had never, ever left a game early until he was in charge, but I was fucking disgusted with what I saw from our performance against Shrewsbury at home. That feeling I had that night was nauseating. Adkins dragged us to the lowest ebb I've experienced in my time following United, so that's why I'm not his biggest fan.

Work backwards here. Some nice digs at us

Good point but he also did very well at Scunny prior to that. 2 promotions with a relegation in between is no mean feat. Did well in Wales with Bangor as well if we are counting that...?

 

[Harry's Game]

That's one of the relegation places sorted then.

 

[Rodley]

How’s he got a Championship job??!
