Thedelldays

we'd of got out of league 1 the same season...as quite frankly....any one of us here should have got that squad out of league 1.... I dont think we would be in the prem now....as the styles of the two managers are totally different...we would not have played to possession game last season that worked so well.. however, pardew plays more direct and plays to those strengths..and as such, more set up (liek allardyce) to do better in the prem

with completely different expectations...i expect to stay up nicely after being 7th biggest spenders in europe

we have spent more ever in more ever in our history..i look forward to a nice safe finish then

I am amazed on how much coverage this gets over here as for who wins...i really could not care less

that is my point..you have no idea if all this 433 malarky is not driven by nigel himself..?

I know that..but to dismiss one manager saying he should be 4th and is average..yet ours in amazing despite the team being rather crap.... if you hadnt had guessed, my faith in nigel is (sadly) gone with regards to his ability to keep us up....

why on gods earth would that worry you..?

how the fuk can they send players out on loan in order to BRING MORE IN...whilst having no owner, being run by an administrator and generally owing a fuk load of money... how on earth is that possible..?

if it was that easy..I am amazed they have not won the league recently how will money spent equate to adkins and saints being 7th biggest spenders in europe....added to the likes of lambert, lallana and morgan.....??? should we be further up the table....if it boils down to money spent...?

I thought there would be no chance of dropping him (more than once) for a non scoring striker...but it happens

but that was all pretty short lived....the whole time away from the prem was pretty short lived...eventful and just under half was with a billioniare owner and saints winning most weeks... imagine being a burnley...or coventry.....or peterbro..or barnsley and those clubs with little hope and say they "cant compete" with the likes of saints and other premier league clubs with premier league set ups with money to spend/parachute money etc......that wont be fun doing that 10 years on the bounce with little or no deviation from being just bog standard 14th in the NPC

so, we, everyone is happy to go down....providing, someone...maybe god himself, can guarantee we win nearly every week....?

I bet they are over joyed this season Being rubbish in the NPC is far worse than this

I bet hardly anyone would do this

what has his time at scunny got to do with anything right now......paul jewell has a very similary record to adkins...actually, probably better if we are going to be looking back...would you welcome him..?

and that adkins will definitely become a top prem manager

family courts, divorce and custody law is heavily skewed in the womans favour. any woman who choses to have a kid and choses to go part time or take a break immediately drops on the pecking order IMO....if we are being gender fair of course

the NPC is even worse when you are dire...IMO

weird

what vacencies.....I really much doubt he would entertain an NPC side when he just finished 4th on the bounce in the prem and tipped for england

doubt that

maybe they were lowe signings ;-)

the man deserves a medal for getting a team with jaksobson, davenport and bernard to be 1 goal away from safety......probably even worse than our defence now...

But he has these promotions on his CV My point is. There is no given what so ever that Adkins is some sort of super manager... And at the mo. results are not helping him
