Guan 2.0 Posted 28 August, 2011 Share Posted 28 August, 2011 Great Interview. Unlike other bosses who focus on how miserable a defeat makes them, Adkins 'gets' the fact that it means a lot to win, lose or draw for thousands of people, even those who can't get to games. http://audioboo.fm/boos/452143-nigel-adkins-speaks-to-bbc-radio-solent-after-saints-first-loss-of-the-season-to-leicester-city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 28 August, 2011 Share Posted 28 August, 2011 We said much the same on hearing his interview yesterday. A very dignified and sensible response. Can you imagine the response from Warnock,Clotterrill, Dalglish or Sir Anal Funguson over the foul on Lambert for their third goal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambosa75 Posted 28 August, 2011 Share Posted 28 August, 2011 Absolute top bloke. There is not one aspect of his approach or style that I would change. Humble in victory and gracious in defeat, it really is nice to have someone with so much class managing our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalek2003 Posted 28 August, 2011 Share Posted 28 August, 2011 NA is I think very happy with the progress the team has made. he has probably been set realistic targets over a sensible period of time unlike the managers of leicester and w.ham who are under so much pressure that every setback gives them that look of being hunted !

Doesn't single out individuals too much in victory or defeat, takes his own share for the blame, refuses to air our business in public. Now contrast that with this saggy chopped individual: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14702987.stm Refuses any blame, ignores the facts to claim that both sides were evenly matched, claimed they haven't bought anyone in the last 2 years, dicusses not only players (crouch and modric), but the fees and clubs they are going to. No thought for supporters. Oh, and dismisses as rubbish the players he doesn't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guan 2.0 Posted 29 August, 2011 Author Share Posted 29 August, 2011 And he has a smile on his face Indeed. And as he says, "we don't get too high when we win, and we don't get too down if we lose". Right way to go about it. Also he sounds more positive than most managers. Oh, and my favourite text of the day to solent "Right, we've lost a game - Adkins out!"
