Saint Charlie Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Just thought I would share this snippet that I was told by a very good source (not coaching staff or player) who was in the dressing room after the Swansea game. Apparantly Adkins was very angry at the players and was shouting at them for not having won the game. In the press afterwards he was calm and saying we had played well etc (although didnt hide the disappointment of not winning). Not a groundbreaking story but as I think some on here have wondered in the past whether NA speaks to the players like he does to the media the answer is definitely no: he can make a point when he wants to and it seemed to work, at least temporarily.
Webby Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Not coaching staff or player but was in the dressing room? That doesn't sound right.

I was very angry at the players for not winning the game as well, well 9 of the players won the game, 2 threw it away.

Window Cleaner Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Its right. Paid employee yes, but not a player or coach. kit man, water carrier, dressing room barmaid ??
pingwing Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Good, have this mental image of Adkins throwing a chair about in the dressing room, especially after that game. Should have been out of sight before they got their goal anyway.
Saint Charlie Posted 22 November, 2012 Author Posted 22 November, 2012 kit man, water carrier, dressing room barmaid ?? Doesn't really matter. Either way - the person was suprised how angry NA was (he had every right to be angry).
Window Cleaner Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Well so was NA. Expect he's like me then, still pretty hacked off about it because we'd be out of the relagation zone now. Hope he fined the 2 of them a couple of K each.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Doesn't really matter. Either way - the person was suprised how angry NA was (he had every right to be angry). Are you going to see the Happy Mondays at the round house with him next week?
Thedelldays Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 The Swansea game was very disappointing Gazza was again poor (which he is most games) We should have been at least 2 up before they scored but we hardly worked their reserve keeper

Turkish Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Hilarious how people are talking about me again, on a thread i'm not even posting on. I seem to have celebrity status on here.
Bearsy Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Isn't this Cortese's job? Turkish should know. Dude don't say his name it's dangerous #beetlejuice. Edit: Oh.
Dig Dig Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Cheers for snippet Saint Charlie and I think I know who gave you this info. I think one thing this shows is that Adkins doesn't have the same persona with the players as he does with the media. Of course, there is no way a manager can achieve 4 promotions in 6 seasons without knowing when to stick the boot in.
Saint_clark Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 He may have been very angry but I don't believe for a second it would have got to Mike Bassett levels of shouting (certainly not throwing chairs!). I remember a journo asking him a few years back when we were losing at half time but won at FT if he had "thrown any tea cups", and Adkins winced and said "No, I never do that".
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Hilarious how people are talking about me again, on a thread i'm not even posting on. I seem to have celebrity status on here. Don't be rediculous Turks, no one really believes you like the happy Mondays. I can't see you sitting there in your Armarni Jeggings singing "it's gotta be a loose fit".
SB Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Adkins in shouting shock. Hear quite often Adkins isn't one to be pushed around.

I wonder who is in the dressing room after the game not coaching or players............ Kit Man, Tea Lady, Nicola, Mrs Adkins, Lord Lucan... am I getting close
Cheam Saint Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 If true sounds like good man management. Praise in public, criticise in private. You rarely, if ever, hear Alex Ferguson slag off his players. But everyone knows he does behind closed doors.
hypochondriac Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I work with someone who I have just found out is going out with a young first team player. I'll see what info I can get out of her.
Dig Dig Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Adkins in shouting shock. Hear quite often Adkins isn't one to be pushed around. No really a shock but there has always been some suggestions that some players won't respect Adkins motivational pep talks. Clearly he knows how to mix it up. He's always been ruthless with underperforming players or with players who don't fit. Fox felt it at half time vs. Villa and won't be first choice left back again.
lordswoodsaints Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Was it the fella who delivers the pizzas to the dressing room after the game?
Turkish Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Was it the fella who delivers the pizzas to the dressing room after the game? no it wasnt me.
Dr Who? Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I was ****ing livid after that game, as we played so well and threw 2 points away!
Barry Sanchez Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I dont think there is anything wrong with him showing his emotions on camera, not for show for the fans but simply to be himself if he was like that in front of the players, he should be able to bollock them but if anybody from outside the club tries to he should tell them to foxtrot oscar for it not being their job.

Barry Sanchez Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Hamlet: To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
Barry Sanchez Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Don't be ridiculous the days of managers smoking cigars are long gone. I loved those adverts.
Dig Dig Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I think Barry is going to be a popular and valued member of the mongboard.
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I think Barry is going to be a popular and valued member of the mongboard. Early indications are certainly pointing that way.
Turkish Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I think Barry is going to be a popular and valued member of the mongboard. He could join a list of Barry's who were legends, Barry Venison, Barry Sheen, Barry from Eastenders, now we have Barry from Liverpool, mongboarder extrodinare.

How could you forget our old friend Barry the Briefcase? Edited 22 November, 2012 by Golac's Cunning Stunts
Barry Sanchez Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I think Barry is going to be a popular and valued member of the mongboard. Visiting North Korea, meeting Templeton Peck and getting on these boards have long been on my bucket list.
