Nigel Adkins

[Mr K]

Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric has made Scunthorpe boss Nigel Adkins his number one target as he bids to replace Gary Megson, now at Bolton. (Sun)

Is Milan mad!
We want an experience manager not a physio turn manager.

Hope we get Tigana

 

[Mr Perez]

what a joke.

Adkins was a manager before he was a physio.

 

[Ched]

I always find that when he talks to the press after the game he just says the first thing that comes to mind, always coming out with clichés.

Can't see there being much substance to this though.

Of the mighty Bangor City no less.

 

[Melton Fox]

The fact that you lot know so much about the Manager of Scunthorpe, let alone his bloody name or who he even is scares me to death.

I think adkins would be daunted by the size of our club. People at scunthorpe knew and respected him, but what are DJ, Hume and the rest going to make out of a former thysio?

Not this Bangor - I don't know if he played for Bangor in N.I? Most famous players Bangor City have had are probably Clayton Blackmore and Neville Southall!

Adkins was player-manager when he was at Bangor and he was the goalkeeper. I remember vividly he used to shout "DON'T FOUL!!! DON'T FOUL!!!" again and again to his defenders whenever they were tackling near the box. It was really annoying - especially when you were standing behind the goal.

The only thing I know is that his diet is sh!t.

if its the bangor city in wales then george best did play for them before he went up to scotland (hibs?) at the end of his career, it was only for a few weeks but he def played for them i know this because my brother trained with him there.

i,l edit that last post after speaking to my brother, apparently he was there but may not have played in a profesional game for them,he di however at least train there for a few weeks.

Fair enough. Obviously the great surroundings of Farrar Road didn't appeal to him :icon_bigg

 

[DesertFox]

What does it matter what he did before? He's proving to be a competent manager at this level.

And I have it on good authority that Arsene Wenger once used to be a foetus! Imagine that - and now he's a successful football manager. Remarkable....

Must get Gillian McKeith to analyse it then :icon_wink
