IF it's true, and if it is it'll be a complete nonsense (his team just fought back to draw away with the Euro champions), I'd like to see ol Nig at Doncaster. He'll have them in the Prem in 4 years or less
if true a spectacularly ridiculous decision. Adkins is a great manager. If I were a Saints fan I'd be up in arms and be doing something about it. They will stay up this season and following two back to back promotions from League 1 that in itself is a great achievement. Sometimes I am baffled by some Chairman's decisions, this is one of them. Bonkers.
What do they expect a guy with almost no knowledge of English football who will probably never have even heard of half the Saints squad to do better than Adkins?
Not to mention he just got sacked after a horrendous start to the season with Espanyol, and he'll have to deal with a squad no doubt pissed off at Adkins going.

That is the key point, they are Adkins players and will be gutted.
If I were the new manager I would be tasting my tea very carefully.
Because I was asked to make it such. I assume that there was a concern that unfounded accusations might be made - or some people wanted to get on Adkins prior to the price crashing!

Got a derby tomorrow, can see him going soon.
Good manager
Large and I were backing him for the Charlton job on here years ago.
He won't be unemployed for very long.
