And you are making claims against the entire "broadcast" and "written" press so there must be literally hundreds you can find. Or, you're just lazily making stuff up.

Saint_clark Posted 19 June, 2013 Share Posted 19 June, 2013 I'm not going to bother looking for links for the smug, patronising people asking for them - but I know for a fact I read articles and heard people on radio shows criticising his inability to speak English when he took over. As well as a lot of people on here saying it would massively hold us back. Quite funny that the MOTD season highlights included a quote from Pochettino though, saying "In football there is only one language...which is the language of football". I distinctly remember all 3 of the pundits on there laughing at the managerial change when it happened. I also specifically remember an article from a journalist/columnist or some such saying that he hoped Southampton went down for their treatment of Adkins (treatment which, by the way, simply amounted to firing him).

buctootim Posted 19 June, 2013 Share Posted 19 June, 2013 Pointless argument imo. Regardless of whether or not he was criticised on the press, a lack of ability to speak English well (not haltingly in simple sentences) is a big drawback in any organisation. That 'football is a universal language' argument is specious. IT is a universal language, as is burger flipping. You still need to speak to your staff, not only to convey ideas but also so they get to know and trust you as an individual . Obviously its possible to succeed without language initially, as long as you learn it fast. Having English speaking assistants also helps. But to argue not speaking the language well isnt a handicap is plain stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daren W Posted 19 June, 2013 Share Posted 19 June, 2013 To be fair he was stitched up a bit by Sky when they covered his first home game in charge against Everton. They did make a seem to dwell on his lack of English as a reason Adkins' sacking was "crazy." I'd be hard pushed to offer up any concrete evidence that he was the victim of any agenda but they certainly didn't do him any favours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 June, 2013 Share Posted 19 June, 2013 I think the press simply pointed out the fact that he couldnt speak English - I never witnessed or heard any criticism in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
