Le Fondre had been in his sights whilst at Scvnthorpe. As seen here: http://www.s****horpeunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/adkins_reveals_interest_in_le_fondre_and_zebrowski_554921/index.shtml

Perhaps Wilkins will take over the role of Master of Cones that Rofe excelled at. Pressman was at Sc^nthorpe as GK coach.Interestingly my son told me Vince Bartram was named as Saints GK coach on the OS.

He tried signing Le Fondre in August, a name often touted on here. Lets also see how Hooper copes at Celtic.

I reckon he has already racked up a South American national debt as a bar bill at the De Vere, and two scantilly clad vice girls are selling their story to next wekks NOTW. (Text from a mate Max Clifford just arrived at Southampton Airport. Make of it what you will).

..but of course he may need a helping hand What do we know of Crosby? Will Barraclough be joining them later? What now for Wilkins?

I expect Nigel to say that he is happy.. And if Nigel Adkins says that Nigel Adkins is happy,he must be happy..

I was only joking btw.

By 4.50pm next Saturday we should know.I expect he flew here with an open ended return ticket anyway.

Any idea where his "spiritual home" is ?

Welcome to Nigel Adkins,lets hope he fulfills his potential here and he is able to deliver the style of football that his Scunny team has been credited for. Not my immediate choice,but a promising one. Looking for positive omens,the last 'Nigel bloke' we appointed wasn't too bad, nor was the last manager we recruited from a Lincolnshire club (in 1974).Over to you Nigel...

kk you were right- well done. BUT, there is so much **** posted on this forum how am I supposed to know what is true and what isn't?

This text is from who?

Rare but not unprecedented. I remember Gray was sacked and WGS announced on a Sunday.

lol

I'll be glad when this episode is over frankly. I am inclined to agree with you BUT simple fact as I see it is that we are unlikely to get the "name" with "wow" factor that we had hoped for, ie KK or MON, and could do a lot worse (ie Brown,Turdishley,Hart,Grunt,unheard of continental coach b0ll0cks ) so lets just get on with it. Unless of course NC has a further ace up his sleeve to reveal

Watched Vkings a few times in the 70's. Enjoyed it and could have got into it but they disappeared as did my interest.

wysteria

Not overly impressed by the interviews and as you say "waffle" but I'd accept he is walking a tightrope in talking to the meda in the current predicament so lets give him a bit more latitude on that one. The third person issue is pretty painful to listen to though. Look at this critically though, his success initially was based on a team his predecessor - Laws - had put together . Some managers will achieve success at a particular club where they are deemed a god-like status but not carry it elsewhere. Is this Daily or Scunny Telegraph ? Redknapp ? Probably just wants to make himself sound authorative by knowing the name of a young lower division manager.He may be right but not sure I'd take 'arry's character reference as gospel.

I think Lew Chatterley was in charge when we (as a 1st Division/Prem) side were dumped out of the FA Cup by Port Vale (Div 3 in old money).This was after Branfoot was removed from office.

What time are the interviews likely to go up on the BBC or Scunny nespaper site ? Be good to get an update,not to mention hear Nigel Adkins try avoiding the same question directed at him in about three or four different approaches from the interviewer.

Swindon is not far from Rupert's. I wonder if NC has dropped in to get some tips from His Rupertship on the perils of leaving a caretaker in charge for too long, and appointing more than two managers in a season

Seems like game after game,after f'kin game though that we have the same issues...opened well,didn't score,conceded,then fell to pieces...followed by some inevitable responses on here.

If you are seriously looking at todays match stats to select our new manager then Tisdale stands out: Exeter today,away at Hartlepool.2-1 down at halftime,come back to win 3-2. From the BBC they had 32% possession,and 5 shots on target. As you say however,whoever comes in will need time to turn it round.Although a KK or MON might have an immediate impact they are no longer - if indeed they ever were - under consideration.

Grayson, Blackpool to Leeds.

With the notable exception of your avatar,what other alleged applicants are there who are better qualified ? KK perhaps,but not really linked anywhere but on here.Howe is less qualified,and please lets not bring perma-tanned man Brown into it again.
