Is the actually a fact that Adkins didn’t get a say in identifying players brought in ? Haven't heard that before. If it’s true then all Adkins is, is a coach not manager. We’re stuffed until we get a true manager again. That’s going to upset the hierarchy applecart methinks.
it's all guesswork, no-one knows and who DOES know ain't telling

He'll have the final say.
From what I can work out it's:
1) Nigel goes to Gallen says "I need a left footed right winger who is quick and can take on a man"
2) Gallen goes off and scouts players with his team of analysts, and brings back a list of players that fit the brief.
3) Nigel then lists them in order of preference
4) Gallen starts at the top of the list and works will way though it, making enquiries and having conversations
5) We sign whoever agrees to the terms etc within our budget
6) The overall budget then changes slightly and priorities for certain positions change according to how much we spent on the above player and his wage demands, and they start again in a new position

There's Roddy's super secret scouting data department mixed in there somewhere.

That's the analysts on point 2. There will be scouts involved too.
It's also missing that Roddy and Sandgaard as well as Adkins and Gallen all have to agree before a player is signed.

Exactly, it's not as if players have appeared out of nowhere with Adkins the last to know, or that Adkins asked for a pacey left back and was given a right winger instead
We have a recruitment team, which includes Adkins, Gallen, Roddy and others.
No Roddy obviously, but under Bowyer (until ESI screwed things up) the process wouldn't have been that much different.

Adkins said it in an interview. Can't remember when, but I'm sure I read that on here. Someone else might remember more
Feel for the guy in that he went thru preseason with half the U23's in the squad and now trying to bed in the new players due to the disastrous late transfer window strategy. Where I don't like him is the long-ball tactics and his inability to turn around a team going a goal down with a change in tactics. I give him the next 2 games and then assess our options.
I’d rather Roddy gone than Adkins, the football’s bad but had most of these players joined earlier on we would definitely be higher in the league, he’s in charge of a lot of things, sponsorship deals being one, and we have the same sponsor as before TS came in, just shows he is massively out of his depth and isn’t doing his job, but getting rid of Adkins is probably a much cheaper option for the chairman.

And Mumford’s sons have been put in charge of musical entertainment at The Valley. Just more nepotism. It’s nepotism all the way down, but no one’s talking about it.
when i coached a youth team, the manager on the field next to me used to bemoan playing matches coz they always lost and was seriously considering pulling them from the league and just doing training. He said they were great in training against each other - he used to get to the field half hour before all the other managers and set his patch up with so many cones, poles and hoops, it was like the horse of the year show - think he was missing the point

Can’t see it for love nor money, but what’s wrong with that position?

Has Tel been knighted yet ?

"Just win games".
The "club" spent about a million.
Also tells us he’s totally deluded to what’s actually going on the pitch. Attractive football? Winning games? Huge asset? Foundation in place?
I think Adkins will still be here after the Bolton game even if we lose every one in between.
Where have I heard that before recently?
One minute calling for his head and sacked in the morning the next minute chanting his name in support.
