itchen_dan Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 I'm guessing he means this tweet: crucialguy: @reluctantnicko what's going on at saints? rumours that there's no money, Adkins has asked to leave due to differences..very worried.....

Reading have pretty much completed their signings for the summer, they purposefully got it all done early. They signed 8 players. West Ham have secured contracts for 7 players who are either new signings or confirmed from previous loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 I'm backing NA to be first prem manager sacked, hope I lose but got a gut feeling NC wants a bigger name in. First 10 games will be critical for Nigel, would have thought at least one new centre back would have been in place by now as we will be done badly by some of the pace of the top teams.

Dig Dig Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 What about if we lose every one of our first, say 10 games? He'd be gone most likely but I wouldn't necessarily say that would be the right thing to do should that happen. It depends on the manner of the defeats and whether the players looked like they were still giving it everything. Ultimately it will be our quality which may see us struggle not Adkins IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint lard Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 As I stated just a few week ago,I had fairly comprehensive conversations with a particular Reading player who's opening line was that Adkins was walking a tightrope. Of course this was dismissed by many on here. however he was adamant about this. Perhaps there was some truth in what he was saying. perhaps not,but i did not dismiss it so easily as some.

We just need to write those games off, if we get a point it's a result and a massive bonus. If the top teams turn up we get spanked simple as that. No shame in that, city did it to United last season, United did it to Arsenal. It games against the Wigans, Norwiches, Swanseas, Stokes and WBAs that will determine our season.

That doesn't mean the gnashing and wailing won't strike up on cue after our first 3, 4 or 5 games where, lets face it, we'd be doing amazingly well not to be bottom of the table given our fixture list.

S-Clarke Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 Please, can the season start already??? Crap like this only pops up when people have nothing else to speak about and want to provoke a bit of attention. Once we've got to September, we will have our CB's and wingers, Adkins will still be our manager and we'd have made an encouraging start. Stuff like this will then drift off into the gutter as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC tried big name manager, he didn't like it. think signings so far show (again as newly promoted, recent league 1) that NA can attract players. what is big name anyway?!
