SW11_Saint Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 I'm sure he is! He's just negotiated an intensive and highly pressurised run-in. That he's done it with - on the face of it - comparative ease, keeping the team focussed and professional, is to his great credit. Enjoy the (brief) rest Nigel, you've definitely earned it mate.

John Boy Saint Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 It's a results lead business, the man has stepped right out of his comfort zone when he came to us, so I would imagine that with having conviction in his own ability, and pulling off promotion following a season of cup finals. It is the relaxation of relief rather than tiredness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manji Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 Im not surprised ! Nicola get that man a holiday. Wonder what sort of holidays Nigel likes ? A trip to Italia to see the grandeur of Rome with NC ? A new age voyage of self-discovery to California ? A trip to China to follow in the footsteps of Sun Tzu ? Butlins with the wife and kids ?

Nigel will be taking a "Summer Holiday" - all aboard a red London bus would be just right I think. * Was quite scocked to learn that both Nigel Adkins and Andy Crosby's families still live "oop north" - can't be good working away from family so much, hopefully they will relocate "dan saff" during the summer, maybe then they won't look so knackered with long return journeys to see the wife and kids. [For those on this board under the age of 70, Summer Holiday was a film in the early 1960s about a group of chums taking a holiday aboard a bus around Europe, the film starred Una Stubbs and unfortunately also included Cliff Richard and his awful singing] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dearne Valley Saint Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 Brilliant manager. Everyone stick with him IF we lose the first few games in the champ. In Nige we trust. He needs and deserves a good rest after a fantastic season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! - he was just elated, looked very relaxed and very humble on the gantry standing next to us taking pictures on his mobile and chatting to us about what a great sight was 25000 people waving up at the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithd Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 I blame Huddersfield! Imense presure they put him under, and the rest of the squad for that matter, but he came out victorious!

suspect everyone Posted 25 May, 2011 Share Posted 25 May, 2011 My Dad and I were driving along Chilbolton Avenue in Winchester yesterday evening. We were just in the middle of a conversation about our promotion winning performances and how Adkins might fair next season, when who do we see walking along but Nigel himself! What are the chances of that?! A quick 3 point turn and fly past confirmed it was him. We then double backed again, gave him a horn and got a cheerful wave in return. He was on the phone walking up the road. Who was he on the phone to? An agent? Michael Owen? Cortese? Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normally very quiet in Chilbolton Avenue so I thought I'd better put you straight before or all your horny mates turn up with their old bangers honking the place out!
