Yes I have sympathy for him. I also have sympathy for the member of my team whose constant absences from work have caused a huge amount of disruption. She doesn't want to pack in her job but I wish she would go and save us the unpleasantness of a capabilities procedure.

A little bit. He's clearly out of his depth but I do think that he is just at the blunt end of a much bigger issue

In most jobs, when you get sacked, you don't get a handsome pay off so that lessens any sympathy in my eyes. I loved his positive attitude and focus on well-being - seems like a lovely bloke but it just isn't working. I don't think anyone wishes him ill or would be happy to see him do badly in the future unlike other ex-managers.
Shame it hasn't worked out but I imagine he'll find the positives.

I like to think Adkins has gone, but Olly just really doesn't like ButtleJR
I mean, who does?
Not the club, because @ButtleJR honestly tells us what he's heard. And not us, because he told us 6pm, or maybe 5 ...... and well, because of that, we've all been on CL all afternoon.
There's only one thing for it: Let's shoot the messenger!
Either that or he could be a plant for CharltonLife

I always feel a bit of sympathy when a manager loses their job, it's not like he is trying to be shit! He has to go but for me it will be more of a relief/regret that it didn't work out than something to celebrate.

With Jackson, Euell either or / both in charge I predict a dead cat bounce before we recommence the turgid awful stuff we've grown used to this season. Loved to be proved wrong.
I do feel sorry for Adkins. I think he was stitched up a bit close season, I mean there is no way CBT was on his 'shopping list' The coaching staff are equally culpable for the shit we've had to endure.

Plenty written already. Although you'll have to read the whole thread, only 107 pages.

Think he’s a genuinely nice bloke. Just not the right person for the manager’s job at this point in time.

One of my questions would be who decided we should sign a load of wingers and no central midfielders until Arter signed on deadline day.
If Adkins wanted most of the players he got then I have no sympathy. If he didn't want most of them, but said "yes" on the basis it was them or nothing, then I have some sympathy.
Either way and taking into account some poor signings and very late signings we should still be at least half way up the table.
I'm still confident our team/squad is better than many of the teams we've lost to - AFC Wimbledon (at home in the League Cup), Cheltenham, Lincoln, Accrington.
Thomas obviously did not have a plan B for Adkins being so dire (unlike with Bowyer whom he probably didn’t like very much) Adkins is more a business management corporate sort of bloke who he probably likes very much. He says all the right things (key performance indicators et cetera that kind of thing) which is probably right up Thomas’s Street. As Atkins doesn’t really show his true feelings about events and always wants to be positive it probably is hard for Thomas to see the wood for the trees. For the club it’s as clear as day that this isn’t working but for the custodian it simply isn’t. I wonder if he is taking any advice from the back room staff and has he spoken to Johnny Jackson for example who would surely be upset Charlton are in such a position
Critic Vivian Mercier described Beckett’s theatrical masterpiece Waiting for Godot as a play where ‘nothing happens…twice’. Charlton are a cheap farce where nothing that should happen, happens after every game.
But some of the stuff being put out on social media is out of order. He’s a decent human being, just not a very good football manager. People have such a blood lust.

What’s being put on social media?
People are just saying he is tactically astute, knows how to get the best out of players and is the right man for the job.

Funny, really.
"Who shot Buttle JR ....... ?"

We've had to.

Pearce should have started against Acc.
Wash should have come on sooner

Is it really that hard?
Could be his future biography............ It's make your mind up, Tommy!
