This time yesterday I was convinced he would be gone by now. Yet here we are; I now think he will be given more time for the following reasons:
1) As indicated, the club operates a youth to seniors tactical plan. The pro's/con's of this are not the crucial thing here, the fact Nigel Adkins is sticking with this is.
2) The lack of ideal alternatives. Curbishley? Twitchy? Bloody Hoddle? No.
3) A greater sense of perspective. Back to back promotions and parachute payments next year if the worst happens. People mock when you say 'consider where we were three years ago.....' forgive me if I keep doing so.
4) A history of achieving when the odds are against him. Look at S****horpe now...... how the hell did he take them to the championship twice. If we go yoyo I know he'll do well for us.
