Do you like Nigel Adkins

by windermere_royal » 03 Nov 2013 17:25

Seems to be a lot of dispute in various threads right now regarding the boss, we have got some still w*nking over a boss that left 8 months ago, and can`t get over it some defending NA to the end. personally I am in the latter camp.
Therefore I would like to start a poll as to what the whole hobnob family think? probably pointless because the big Brian thread shows a big majority that it was right but some BMs can`t accept it

I don't care - would rather he just did a great job for us. However, I can't warm to him - nothing to do with losing Brian, just find him a bit up himself. I don't understand why he can't keep people informed about injuries for example. I don't accept it's so other teams don't know what's going on.

Ridiculous thread!!

Yes, very much. Good honest manager who wants to play good football, but is doesn't have the investment he was lead to believe he'd get and is trying to coach lump it players who do the ugly stuff well, to play football. The poor guy has one hell of a job on his hands, especially with pig ignorant impatient twats for fans that we have here!

Yes!!

You wont find a better manager at this level or on our tight fisted budget if Anton is now out of the picture. Start supporting what we have, we will be a lot worse off next season if Sir John is back in control and starts selling our best players to get the wage bill down.

Yes, very much so. He's a relatively young manager with 4 promotions to his name with three clubs, sorry but who do you think is better equipped to manage us if he left?

My impressions of him at Southampton was he was a bit smug.

My opinions haven't changed.

However, if he gets Reading playing winning, passing football I don't care if he's Hitler's child.

Yes - like the bloke who could take us further than before - thought he handled trying to explain the ineptitude of yesterday's debacle quite well.
A not so professional manager would have ripped Pearce and Morrison new @rseholes in public.

I like him, I like his philosophy for how the game should be played, I like his encouragement for the youngsters. I don't think we can do any better, that's for sure! Get behind him and back the team, you only become part of the problem by booing and hissing!

A better question would be "is Nigel Adkins connecting with you?" and either yes or no as the answer. The yes option set in this poll is far too simple and almost a figurative shrug of the shoulders whereas the no option is aggressive.

There is something about Adkins and his personality that is not clicking with the fans on a wider level. You only have to go to the stadium on a match day to see and hear it, I've heard "Nigel Adkins Barmy Army" sung twice and both times it was extremely half hearted even for Reading fans.

Don't hate him. But don't much like him.
There's very little to like about his personality.
