Having lived near Huddersfield for a dozen years until last year I think he could do a lot worse. The chairman is relatively minted (no Liebherr mind you), they have some history, a decent 24k ground (albeit with c12-14k average crowds I think).

Probably not no. Interesting to see that Grayson was sacked after 12 games without a win though, that's pretty poor really.

Lol assumed that the 12 games is just an arbitrary number thrown out because its now nearly a week since Adkins has been sacked and therefore is fine to sign him up...

 

Think the squad needs a serious kick up the arse anyway, plenty of under performing loan signings to sort out there...

I'd like to see Adkins wait until Warnock gets sacked (which might be soon) and then go for the Leeds job.

 

why would they sack Warnock, he's retiring in the summer isn't he ? Might just push him out a bit earlier if there's something to be gained from that. Can't see how a new man would make much difference to them right now.

He should take the Leeds job in the summer, give himself a well earned 6 month break and spend some time with the family then takeover there. You can tell their new owners dont fancy Warnock as they've given him nothing to spend, must be waiting for the new man in the summer before they put any decent money in.

He deserves a bigger club than Huddersfield. Can't stand Leeds fans and would be sorry to see him go there in many respects, but he ought to get a team of that size. Championship, but with potential to be established prem.

 

can't see why he deserves a bigger club than Huddersfield, probably needs one though cos at S****horpe he was nothing extraordinary in the NPC. I am quite keen to see how he gets on with a team that's not got 5 or 6 prospective PL players in it actually. He hasn't had one of those since Scùnthorpe.

Nigel deserves a break and a rest and is in poll position for a top job with a club that has big finance. No rush and the way things are going there, he'd even do better at Chelsea that the current sham management.

S****horpe is basically a div 4 (with ocasaional visits to div 3) club in 'old money'. Adkins worked miracles in getting them to the championship twice, and keeping them there once.

we shall see when he gets another job that requires tactical awareness and player judgement. He did a good job for us but I'm

not so sure that he'll be able to repeat it elsewhere. Not without some of the "stars" that he had at his disposal. Why he even

had Hooper and Jack Cork at S****horpe.

His stock is the highest it's going to be. He won't get a prem job but wolves, leeds, ipswich, forest are decent shouts. Huddersfield are basically a L1 club that are punching above their weight, bankrolled by a rich fan/local businessman who's also made it clear that the spending has to be reined in. Back to back promotions are worth more than that -and while anyone could have taken us out of L1, very few thought we were flush with prem players last season. Indeed we were tipped to go down.

im surprised many more are not saying he will get a prem job..?

 

 

I dont think he will personally...but I didn not think he was the 'best english manager of this generation'

If Norwich, Fulham, Reading, Villa, Wigan, Sunderland, had a vacancy now, I could see him ending up at any of them. Adkins has been unlucky in the respect that there has been loads of movement in managerial positions in the top two divisions in the last year, lots of job that might have been good opportunites might not become available gain for a while.

personally...I think the only prem club that would entertain him...would be wigan....for obvious reasons..

 

was listening to 5live on fri/sat when they were taking calls about adkins sacking.......various fans from various clubs were phoning in saying it was a disgrace..fans from the likes of the teams you mention...none of which would have him at theirs when asked though......apart from wigan fans

I've seen plenty of Villa fans saying they'd take him. You honestly don't think Norwich or Reading would? Could see Sunderland fans wanting a "big" name maybe. Which Prem jobs do you think will become available in the next few months?

I don't think he would get the Villa job. The other two, yeah, no problem. Of all the Prem clubs, Wigan is by far the best fit, as he was there as a player. If they stay up (actually even if they go down) and Martinez finally decides to go (to, say, Villa) then he'd be an absolute shoo-in to go there. Dave would look after him.

HE probably wouldn't get the Villa job, but he's exactly what that club needs - a massive boost of positivity. No real guarantee that any of those jobs will become available any time soon, same as for a lot of the bigger Championship clubs after the recent merry-go-round, so it depends if Adkins fancies being out of football for 6 months or not.

Depends how long he wants to be out of football. Got the feeling Adkins doesn't do sat at home watching Soccer Saturday.

yeah...good point..

 

I reckon the summer will have....all 3 of the relegated teams (maybe not villa should they go down)

some of the teams at the top of the NPC that failed to get promotion (leicester..?)

Brighton...if poyet gets a move to the prem...? but their fans would NOT be happy

leeds, for sure..but unless he has money to spend, the pressure to do well would be incredible

maybe even a bolton...as they dont look like doing too much with dougie

then there could be the surprise prem job.....

Huddersfield would be a good move for Nigel imho

 

Huddersfield have some good players, money, decent/honest chairman, new(ish) ground, good fans and Patrick Stewart is a fan

 

what good players? all I can see is a shower of middling shîte on their squad list. I really really wonder sometimes if some people know what a good player looks like.

Yes - but who thought of bringing them in?

He will do a repeat job....get them promoted to the prem....then get the sack.

He has found his level,brought in for progression,then not quite cutting the mustard.

 

A sweeping assertion. I would suggest that with no interference he would have carried on improving our position.

Well Houghton got another crack at the Prem after leaving Newcastle and not exactly setting Brum alight and so did Pards, so don't see why he shouldn't get another crack at the Prem tbh.

 

I agree with those who say wait and see what happens in the summer or maybe go abroad, even? Someone said Paolo Sousa (or w/e his name is, ex-Swans manager) is lined up for one in the States and if that QPR defender can get one, don't see why he can't. Going abroad didn't hurt the current England manger, did it? And NA's better than him.

 

Leeds could be a good shout as well. Not Huddersfield. Agree Wigan would be a good opportunity for him too.
