Like many others I was absolutely made up when we appointed Adkins, but his style and his thoughts with the positivity and false sense of togetherness really is becoming quite brain numbing. We're nowhere near the top 6, the top 2 is a comical distance away and it really is not acceptable just how exactly he has missed out on vital additions to the team. For example, it has been evident for over 18 months we needed a new goalkeeper, and the back-up one simply wasn't good enough, tried, tested and not good enough over and over. So why haven't we signed a goalkeeper? Ended up with the backup keeper week in week out and he's crap. Lee Camp signed for Rotherham initially as a backup, when a free agent, you're not telling me they're paying him out of our reach as a backup, and he wouldn't of come here as first choice.
I feel like Adkins has massively underestimated the job he had, and is quite frankly insulting when we hear his constant "stay behind the team" "were all in this together" because quite honestly Nigel the fans are so so sick of being fed the same bullshit all year.
Simply inept, in terms of loan and permanent incomings, and you can't blame the board they've supported him (to an extent). But he simply has held out for yet more players who're not good enough for the championship and just thought oh they're bound to be good enough for this league. Examples of poor recruitment who won't of been cheap players, we'll be paying most if not all of their wages after all - Baptiste, Edgar. Yes we have players who shouldn't be at the club, who're stealing a living but there's 10-16 players who other managers have previously got much much better results from, so how long is it before its actually his fault and not the previous managers.
I think it really is time, for a manager to come in who knows this club inside out, knows what it takes to rally the supporters, and will inject a sense of pride and passion into this beautiful and f*cking massively underachieving football club.
Step forward Sir Neil, you have everything that it takes, and on Sheffield Live tonight said he couldn't write off a come back.
Yes we'll still lose games, and yes he's got his faults but at least we know we'd be going down with a fight, whether its sending Paul Shaw to have a word with the linesman or looking after Paddy Kenny like his own child, we know he'd give this a real f*cking go.
