Whats Nigel Atkins doing at the moment ?


Seriously, Nigel Adkins upbeat approach, at this point, is just what we need. Whether, with the 'just functional' players we have retained, that is enough - who knows for this season. Would love him to be our manager - his achievements considering his modest background are impressive.

Nigel Adkins was very good at " psyching " players up and making them believe in themselves. He always came across as very positive and this certainly rubbed off on his players.

If this happens we could be back to "we want Slade".

Well, it would be great if our Chief Executive (whose name escapes me) could invite Nigel to our next home game, and not forgetting to let everyone know.

Then ' cum on feel the noize'.  

That's motivation - surely.

Well not quite yet, but he should probably be a championship manager on credentials. Still, the pure fantasy that he might, for a moment, like to be a conference manager was amusing wasn't it.

Russell Slade? For once, I'd love Paul Hurst to stay...

To be fair to PH, as useless as he is getting a team automatic promotion, he seems to be a playoff specialist.
What is it, 4 playoff positions in what 6years? And heading for another. 2 promotions. I've got a feeling he'll be here for another season if we make the playoffs.
If he gets the boot, I'd imagine he'd be more than capable of managing a championship side, providing theyre not expected to go up of course.


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

If Paul gets us promoted it would be tough to dismiss him. He would deserve a crack at league management.

Maybe. But to be honest I'd rather it was with somebody else.
