Saint Fan CaM Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 Not a word spoken by the club regarding his position now. Despite the woeful performances under his charge, he clearly was under the impression that he was being kept on, so will he serve as a coach under Nige and Andy now? To be fair on him, that's going to be a step-down surely? Be nice to hear from the club though.
pap Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 I'd like him to be loaded into a rocket and fired at the moon.
S-Clarke Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 Apparently he's the first team coach, so he'll just carry on his current role and work alongside Adkins and Crosby. I'm glad he's staying on because he's a good coach, our success last year was as a team - and he was part of that team.

S-Clarke Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 Agreed - where did you hear this though? I couldn't find any info. Matthew Le God mentioned it in another thread, not sure where he got it from though. But it seems likely he'll stay on as he mentioned as much in his first press-conf. something along the lines of ''The chairman has asked me to take control of the team for the foreseeable future, he's assured me that i'll have a future here no matter what''

Matthew Le God Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 If you KNOW where to look! It wasn't really hidden. It was under the management tab on the clubs official website.
MarkSFC Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 He's clearly not a great manager and motivator but probably a great coach implementing other peoples instruction.
beatlesaint Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 He's clearly not a great manager and motivator but probably a great coach implementing other peoples instruction. Indeed. Difference this time was the coach only got three games whereas a couple of times in recent history they have got the bloody job full time !!
Toadhall Saint Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 Indeed. Difference this time was the coach only got three games whereas a couple of times in recent history they have got the bloody job full time !! LOL - change takes its time it would appear.
saint_ben Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 Has Adkins replaced or has plans to replace Murdoch at all? I heard kevin pressman was earmarked with the position
Professor Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 Wilkins does seem to have had some involvement in player recruitment given his past relationships with Harding and Hammond. He is a very experienced coach and his tactics during the three games he was in charge seemed OK. Not sure about his substitutes, although the timing of subs was better than Pardew's. But can hardly blame Wilkins for the ball hitting the woodwork three times against Swindon instead of going in the goal! What the manager can do, which Wilkins couldn't, is start re-building confidence in the team, change the playing style and look for new recruits. Wilkins has said we need new blood in the squad and lets hope Adkins agrees.
Badger Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 Perhaps Wilkins will take over the role of Master of Cones that Rofe excelled at. Has Adkins replaced or has plans to replace Murdoch at all? I heard kevin pressman was earmarked with the position Pressman was at Sc^nthorpe as GK coach.Interestingly my son told me Vince Bartram was named as Saints GK coach on the OS.

Pressman was at Sc^nthorpe as GK coach.Interestingly my son told me Vince Bartram was named as Saints GK coach on the OS. Correct. He was a decent goalie before his freak injury, would play in goal or in a striker role apparently, although not very good at it.
BadgerBadger Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 I'd like him to be loaded into a rocket and fired at the moon. LOL - post of the day He's obviously a good coach and someone NC wants onboard
Saint Charlie Posted 13 September, 2010 Posted 13 September, 2010 Wilkins did a great job as Manager of Brighton. Circumstances very much against him in his 3 game spell. Great to keep as a coach.

Pressman was at Sc^nthorpe as GK coach.Interestingly my son told me Vince Bartram was named as Saints GK coach on the OS. I was under the impression that Bartram was the GK coach for the Development Academy or whatever the fook they're called. Maybe he's stepped into the breach though after Murdoch got booted out with Pardew and Downes?

But can hardly blame Wilkins for the ball hitting the woodwork three times against Swindon instead of going in the goal! You are having a laugh. His tactics were awful. This was proven against Rochdale when the players didnt even know what was asked of them when he took Oxlaide off. He was uninspiring to say the least. Overall in the three games he was in charge we barely looked like scoring.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 14 September, 2010 Posted 14 September, 2010 Has Adkins replaced or has plans to replace Murdoch at all? I heard kevin pressman was earmarked with the position Perhaps, being an ex-goalkeeper himself, Adkins will coach the 'keepers?!
Crab Lungs Posted 14 September, 2010 Posted 14 September, 2010 I'm not sure you can entirely blame Wilkins' for our last three games... the players have to take their fair share, by the sounds of the performances. Wilkins actually done a very good job at Brighton with a smaller squad, smaller budget than us a few years back...
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 14 September, 2010 Posted 14 September, 2010 Wilkins = Loser. Don't need Losers around the place. Had enough of them in 2008-09 and still not really over it. Don't think the players respect him - they certainly never played for him.
