@pn_neil_allen: Forget the game, have heard best chant this season. After 39 secs #Pompey fans singing 'How bad must you be, you still haven't scored'.
I'm guessing this tweet from 18th Jan is a thread closer...
@tompope11: Nigel Adkins sacked! Wtf? The chairman ought to be out in front of the firing squad for that! #cluelessmuppet #ridiculous
So, those reports suggesting he knew nothing until the news started breaking on the day were wide of the mark...? Seems slightly odd to get on the phone to Ferguson about it though...
So is Ferguson saying that Adkins knew he was going to be sacked the day before it broke in the media? Paints a different picture to the one some of the media were portraying.
