I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

Im not too sure about Adkins personally. I'd be more than happy for somebody to explain why he'd be a good choice and in no way am I trying to say people are wrong about him but has he not been somewhat of a failure at his last two clubs? Yes he did do very well at Southampton there's no denying that but looking at the squad available to him there, as somebody else mentioned it would've been hard not to win promotion. Let's not kid ourselves either, even when Southampton were in league one they were a much bigger club than we are now.

I'm so wondering if he'd really want to drop down to this level.

Like I say I'm not tying to be negative or prove anybody wrong I'm just airing my concerns. If there is something I don't know then obviously I'd be more than happy to listen and take others thoughts on board.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it slightly, I just wouldn't want another Newell type situation.

I have to say though, at the minute no names have stood out to me as being an outstanding candidate.

Whoever does come in though I hope they get us playing 'proper' attacking football with the ball in the deck, especially at home. Obviously the balance between attach and defence has to be right though but anyone can beat anyone in this league so I see no reason not to go for it against most teams.

Les gave you a red card and you are suspended until the start of the next league

Ian Holloway applied for the Grimsby Town job before, wasn't it around the time Russell Slade departed?  Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if he applied again regardless of what he's doing as a Sky pundit.

Quoted from 139914
Let's have some perspective shall we.  I should imagine that Hurst would have been on £50k tops, probably less.  So for what is essentially high end lorry driver money we think we're at the front of the queue for the Adkins of this world.

So, crap wages, no transfer budget, managing JF's personality, unappealing location, moaning coffin dodgers in the main stand.  Any other 'selling points' for the job?

It'll be someone cheap because that will be number one selection criteria.


Couldn't of put that better myself, time to get real we are paying peanuts so we ain't getting Adkins.

To quote Kevin Keegan - 'I would love it' if we could get Adkins but I suspect our sights will be set at a level to keep us where we are rather than look for a manager with such a good CV. Penny pinching appears to be the name of the game.
