It's been a great move. Bring out an away kit we never wear and wear one no one can buy.

Well they obviously aren't listening too him then as according to this on the 13th July defensive signings were our top priority. Our one defensive addition came in 7 weeks later, the day before the window shut. It seems there is a difference in priorities within th recruitment department. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11700/7897625/Adkins-reveals-recruitment-plan

Where have I said 'more than one poster has said football is racist'? As for black managers not given a chance. Plenty of moaning from the likes of Paul Ince that they've not been given a fair chance.

Have a read of this interview and then decide. http://www.2ndyellow.com/2012/five-minutes-of-your-time-please-les-reed/ Key point being Adkins job is to 'focus on coaching and only the three coaches report into him' Reed heads up The football development and support centre, which includes scouting and recruitment and has 50 staff report in to him.

I wouldnt give too much credance to Super Mikeys comments. You have to remember He rated Jermaine Wright and Neil McCann.

Because he's so incredibly pompous.

Did he? Or was that the work of the 'recruitment department'?

Oh believe me there were. Wes Ender was a stand out one demanding proof and how would Nixon know what players we were looking at. There were a number of others that held similar views. Totally ignoring all that Nixon had got spot on all summer.

It seems I've got myself another stalker.

Again.

You're thinking Adkins is incompetent?

You'd have thought the manager would have realised that as well after it happening week after week and changed th formaiton wouldn't you. I wonder why he hasn't, must be very incompetent.

That was always what I said. I'm a quality player, just the players I had a round me were only ever of pub standard.

Yep, credit where it's due, one thing he will do it get a good price for a player when selling.

So he spear headed the implementation of a process they he's doing his best to stick to is he? Sounds like he was over ambitous If that was the case and very daft to spearhead something you don't have the players to play effectively.

Yep. Those comments where sneered at by many of this forum. How would Nixon know etc. yet many on this forum were stalking him between June and August desperate for any snippet of news, yet as usual on here the only things that were believed were the positive ones. Hilarious attempts as spinning Niges very clear comments about doing his best at adhering to the process at the club as being something they he ha put in place. I don't know why he didn't just say that he had if that as the case. He said he chooses the players and makes the subs, why not just say he chooses the formation as well rather than saying he does his best to stick to the process in place? It's very odd.

Apart from him saying he is doing his best to adhere to the process at the club you mean? Doesn't sound the words of someone who has devised the whole process to me.

So he's adhering- his words- the process that he the driving force behind is he?!! Why say that? Why not just say he's decided to play 4-3-3 come what may?

It could be the case. And If it is then Adkins is nothing more than a yes man as he'd change his whole management philosophy and turn his back on what has been successful to adopt to 'the process'. Would it not?

So what does it mean to say 'we have a process we are doing our best to adhere to'? What does that say to you? So you adhere to orders and instructions or do you adhere to something you decided for yourself?

Err Adkins said himself yesterday Jamie 'we will play 4-3-3' You haven't explained why a manager known as successful for switching tactics wold now suddenly only stick to one formation, one that isn't working and has lead to us having the worst defence in premier league history at this strange.

Adkins was known and very successful for adapting tactics and changing tactics last season to suit the opposition and it got us two promotions. Now he is sticking with 4-3-3 regardless of the opposition, regardless of the players available and regardless of the success of it. Please explain why a manager would have a complete change in his ethos that has worked so well in the past and stick with stick with something that isn't working, when for the last two seasons when a tactic hasn't worked he'd changed it, sometimes during games. Why change philosophy? Why change what has been successful? Of course, it's just me having a pop at the chairman isnt it.

It is true as Adkins said so himself yesterday 'we have a process at this club we are doing or best to adhere to' so either Adkins is a liar or he is simply adhering to the process that he has been told to follow.

Also what manager will work with Nick Nack and 'the process'
