According to the people this morning Di Matteo is waiting in the wings if Adkins fails in the next two matches. Nothing new their I know but I never knew it was him that alerted Cortese about Saints in the first place.

Interesting!!

 

I hope Adkins turns it around as he deserves success, but it's also exciting that someone like Di Matteo could take charge if he don't.

Wouldn't want a European Championship winning manager, or a cup winning manager here, after all it could mean having a team that might get into the top six in the Prem. At the moment supporters of other clubs like us because we are ****e and take pity on us, whereas if we started to be a threat to the established top sides it wouldn't be long before we were hated.

I don't think you can blame Di Matteo for sustainability that's more down to the 2 nut job chairman. At WBA he got them promoted to the prem and didn't have a great start to life in the prem and the chairman against the wishes of most baggies fans wielded the axe. At Chelsea he won the champions league & FA Cup and he got the sack for not playing Torres, if Adkins does go, I'd have him in a heartbeat

This. My number one choice if Adkins gets the elbow.

 

However I think RDM's stock may be too high for us - I think he's likely to get offers from bigger/richer clubs, esp in Serie A. He won the CL FFS.

 

All depends on how much he wants to stay in England I guess.

Yes. Interesting. And exciting. Very, very exciting. I am now so excited.

I'm not entirely sure how much it was him that won the Champions League.

 

I think he was unifying figure, that helped galvanise morale post AVB, and he deserves credit for that.

 

However I have a feeling Terry, Lampard & Drogba were calling a lot of the shots. I could be wrong, as I say, it's just my feeling.

 

Looking at WBA, their progress since his departure has been pretty much 'up and to the right'. Doubt too many now are still mourning the loss of Robbie.

 

He did a decent job at MK Dons, and I'm sure he will have a decent career, I just find it hard to take too much on anybody from their time at Chelsea.

 

He inherited the team he won with, and reverted to a style employed by mourinho, largely with his players. Yes he won the two cups, but was still not great in the league (6th). He had (IMO) little input on transfer policy, does any manager there? And it seems he was given instructions on team selection.

Perfect fit then.

Haha.

 

I didn't realise him and Cortese were pals. Interesting.

 

As I've said before I'd like to see us stick with Adkins. I think recent performances have been better. I still believe that right now he can keep us up.

And who was the poster who said earlier this week, before any of these reports, that was sneered out for saying a member of the Chelsea board had told him that he was lined up in the summer if he didn't get the Chelsea job and not to rule out this happening now?

Have a read this right? You don't want a good manager because we will do well and other clubs would hate us?

So it is exciting to replace our manager for struggling in the prem after gaining promotion in second place for a manager who was replaced by his club for struggling in the prem after gaining promotion in second place. All because he was caretaker boss of one of the richest clubs in the world. I can see why the chairman may want him, Swiss Italian and all that. But I cant see why people think he is that much better than NA.

Just because Abramovich likes to change managers every season, it needn't become a trend we have to follow.

Stabilty has to count for something, rather than sack the perfectly good incumbent manager a the first tricky period of a season.

Keep up the good work Nigel !

 

Has anyone on this thread even said we should replace Nige with RDM?

 

In a word, no.

 

But Adkins may still get sacked. And that will be zip to do with this forum.

Damn I was positive that Cortese paid attention to what this Forum decreed and would only think of getting rid of a manager if he had a moritorium from here.

I mentioned this being a possibility a while back, but was shouted down/sneered at by everybody on here.

Re-read the thread then, I can see at least two people saying this.

 

 

 

Go on, who? Name them and we can then check that yes, they want Adkins out and RDM in right now.

 

Or we'll find out if you are being a bit of a drama queen.

 

All I can see is people discussing RDM as an option IF there was a vacancy.

Got to say, as much as like Adkins, this would be a fantastic appointment. A significant jigsaw piece in pushing the club forward to bigger and better things.

 

Yes. Interesting. And exciting. Very, very exciting. I am now so excited.

 

What a sad little individual you are you have created a sh#tty little loop hole just to win a point on an anonymous message board. Woohoo you're a winner.

 

Those two posts above suggest to me they would be up for the change whether there was a vacancy or not, however if that passes your test I don't know or give a f#ck. You my friend are just one in a long line of c#nts who frequent this board who have to boost their low self worth by coming on here and puffing their chests out.
