2012: Hvem vil du ha som ny manager hvis øksa faller på Warnock?

[h.b]

Drømmesenarioet mitt er for tiden. Di Mateo som manager og Lampard som spillende assistent manager

Nigel Adkins lined up for Leeds

AXED Southampton boss Nigel Adkins has been lined up to replace under-fire Leeds United manager Neil Warnock.


Warnock’s side face Premier League champions Manchester City in this afternoon’s FA Cup fifth-round clash at the Etihad Stadium with his future shrouded in doubt.

Angry Leeds fans, who have seen a push to claim a Championship promotion play-off place fizzle out, called for Warnock’s head during Tuesday night’s defeat at Middlesbrough.

Club owner Dubai-based private equity group GFH Capital has now made moves to bring in a new man.

It’s believed they have sounded out Adkins, who was dumped by Saints despite taking the club from football’s third tier into the Premier League.

Adkins turned down the opportunity of an immediate return to management with Championship side Huddersfield Town.

But he fancies the task of trying to recapture Leeds United’s glory days â€" ideally in the summer but possibly sooner if Warnock is dismissed.

To add to the uncertainty, despite having only assumed control of the club in December, GFH Capital has itself been the subject of a new proposed takeover.

A few rumours going around that Nigel Adkins is at the game today. #lufc

[Håvard]

Moyet er vel ledig etter sesongen..

[Tom S]

Adkins er sikkert bra, men sjølv sitter eg med ein følelse av at DiMatteo hadde vert det beste.

Uansett manager inn, eller om vi vert sittande med NW også neste sesong, er det eit must at eigarane legg til rette for sportslig satsing.

spelar egentligen ingen roll vilken manager vi tar in så länge vi varje säsongen säljer spelare för mer än vad vi köper,  finns ingen toppmanager som skulle vilja ta över leeds på de premissarna vi haft de sista åren, vi har bara spelarmaterial för typ plats  7-12 i ccc

Warnock har vel sagt at han gir seg etter denne sesongen, eller har han ombestemt seg? Om han likevel skal legge opp, er det bare å få han ut nå.

DiMatteo hadde gjort seg ja.

De pleier ikke å sette ut rykter...

[Tobbe9210]

Warnock: "If we don't go up, I think everyone knows I won't be here next season."

Virker som han får forsøke seg ut sessongen altså(?)

[Kato]

Adkins in er helt topp.

Hvis Warnock har bestemt seg for å forlate uansett hvis det ikke blir opprykk, så bør han forlate NU.

Sannsynligheten for opprykk: Under 5 %

Alex Mcleish


Jeg tror ikke det er noe med han, han så sikkert bare på kampen

[Kato]

Hvis Alex McLeish kommer inn, da er det OVER. Da fires flagget.

[B_Ød]

tror egentlig det er ett fett hvem som evt kommer inn på managersiden. Noen her har sagt at det som vil til, er en klar "over all" fotball filosofi som starter på nivået over en evt manager, og dette stiller jeg meg bak. Tror ikke investeringsselskapet som pt står som eiere har særlig tyngde på akkurat det punktet.

Så NW vil ha medalje...je tviler, sa grisen..han så slakter'n kom over tunet

Lpp claims to be renting Adkins house. Strange

I dont "claim" to be doing anything. I am renting & living in his house. I see Andy Crosby a fair bit (his assistant) as well as he has now come back to the village and is on the school run. I know he wants the Leeds job and believe we also want him, he does have an issue re claim against Southampton ongoing at the minute though.

We are not going for Mcleish at all.

And I dont ever recall saying anything about Gary Hooper....whoever posted that earlier!

white pumpkin, on 17 February 2013 - 09:19 PM, said:
his house from when he was scunthorpe gaffer?

Yes mate. He moved down to Winchester when he got the Soton job but they didnt sell the house up here. On the day he was sacked, they contacted us just to let us know we didnt have to worry and that they wouldnt be coming back any time soon. Its a lovely house, but its not a "Premier League Managers" house if you get my drift. Mr & Mrs Adkins sent us a voucher at Christmas as well for a meal for two.

Very nice couple.

MJ, on 17 February 2013 - 09:19 PM, said:
Renting a football managers house one linked with Leeds just really...I don't know.

We've been there a year. Well before he was linked with Leeds.

white pumpkin, on 17 February 2013 - 09:23 PM, said: always had time for adkins, never seen him as smug, always seemed down to earth. who has told you he would like the job? your man crosby?

His missus worked at the local school before they moved and they still have a lot of friends in the village. More than one person has told me he wants to work at Leeds.

Nigel Adkins, player whisperer, has a winning therapy for Southampton

Former physiotherapist Nigel Adkins is on the verge of beating Bill Shankly's 40-year-old record for consecutive home victories
Nigel Adkins is the former physiotherapist who has done what Sir Alex Ferguson and José Mourinho never have. Southampton's manager is looking to guide his team to a 22nd consecutive home win when Blackpool arrive at St Mary's on Saturday.

At the end of last month a 2-1 defeat of Hull drew the former Bangor City goalkeeper level with Bill Shankly's 40-year-old record of 21 with Liverpool. Only Rotherham United, with 22 in 1947, and Bradford Park Avenue (25, 1928) have recorded more victories on the bounce at home, when those clubs played in the old Third Division North. Mourinho managed a mere 13 straight home wins for Chelsea, while Ferguson's best is 19.

With 10 of those home victories achieved this season, the run has seen Adkins take Southampton to the top of the Championship. He was hired in September of last year by Nicola Cortese, the chairman, before claiming promotion from League One in second place, three points behind Brighton and Hove Albion.

This term Adkins has pulled the team away from their neighbours. The Saints stand 10 points better off than Gus Poyet's men on 42 points, as the talk on the south coast turns to a return to the top flight for the first time since 2005, when Southampton finished bottom.

While the 12 league goals from Rickie Lambert â€" a hip injury makes him doubtful to face Blackpool â€" have helped propel Southampton to a two-point lead over West Ham United, it is the managerial vision of Adkins that continues to impress.

What intrigues most regarding the rise of the boy from Birkenhead is the decade he spent in the background, before he returned to management at Scunthorpe United in 2006. At Bangor as player-manager, the final stop in a career that also included Tranmere Rovers and Wigan Athletic, Adkins won consecutive League of Wales titles in 1994 and 1995, while also enrolling on a PFA sponsored, part-time physio course at University College Salford. When he departed in 1996, Adkins stepped from the spotlight and into the Scunthorpe treatment room.

Ten years later, having acquired a library of psychological and motivational knowledge gleaned from being the figure at a club who deals daily with players at their lowest, Adkins replaced Brian Laws as manager.

Ian Baraclough, a defender treated by Adkins before joining his coaching staff, believes the 46-year-old became a kind of "player whisperer". "Nigel's always said 'you've got to have certain tools for what you're going into'. As a physio it's not [just] the knowledge of human anatomy. You're also a father figure, you're a manager, a psychologist, a social worker: you're everything that players need. Being a physio was a perfect grounding for him â€" he could see certain situations as they were building.

"He could speak to players in a certain way so that they would feel strong coming out of the room. He did it with me as a player as well. It's his whole manner: his demeanour is probably welcoming to everybody, nobody is made to feel isolated."

Adkins took Scunthorpe to promotion from League One as champions with 91 points. Relegation, then a promotion back to the Championship followed, before Southampton called, 17 years after his first managerial post at Bangor where Gwynfor Jones, then a fan and now club secretary, recalls: "He performed miracles. The second-last game of that first season [1993-94] we needed many goals against Haverfordwest to have a chance of the title, and we beat them nine-nil. We then had to win at Porthmadog and we did. By winning the league we went into the Uefa Cup, then we retained the league quite comfortably.

"What's paramount about Nigel is the style of football he had his teams playing. It was never long ball and big hoof. He also had a mix of local, young and experienced players who'd been around the Northern Premier League, the Conference and the Alliance League. He was really popular with fans. We didn't have a clubhouse â€" the players and Nigel went to the pub for something to eat â€" and he always spent time talking to supporters and that carried through to his team. He was always enthusiastic about the game and a perfect gentleman as well: he hasn't changed, he's still got that enthusiasm."

Adkins resigned a week after fans demanded his reinstatement following his initial dismissal. Jones adds: "There was uproar when he was sacked. It was due to a personality clash with the directors. He's his own man, he will not be dictated to about his style of football, or the team that he picks."

Cortese can be a demanding figure and how Adkins manages that relationship and also deals with Southampton's difficult public relations â€" the local newspaper is banned from the club â€" is further evidence of an equable persona that Baraclough believes can only help him succeed.

"Nigel's very calm. He doesn't just dive in. At half-time, for example, which can be very fraught, you can get carried away. You need to keep control of that and he is not a tea-cup thrower," Baraclough says, before adding he is sure Adkins could thrive at a bigger club. "I've got no doubts. For one I believe he'll take Southampton into the Premier League and I see no reason why he can't go higher and work with more high-profile players."

The only troubling issue for Adkins is Southampton's patchy away league form, with four defeats â€" including the last two games, in which no goals were scored â€" and three draws. He says: "It's something we've got to analyse." You can be sure that he will.

Ifølge en Chelseasupporter jeg kjenner så har ikke Dimatteo særlig mye greie på defansiv organisering. Mange Chelseasupportere ble visstnok lettet da han fikk sparken, tross heftige resultater. Hvis disse påstandene stemmer, så tror jeg ikke dette er mannen for Leeds.

[Annesj]

Adkins er topp av min liste.

[4ever arcticwhite]

Hva var egentlig begrunnelsen fra Southampton for å gi Adkins sparken? Virker jo som om han hadde støtte hos fansen i alle fall.

Øynene hans matchet ikke de nye hånklærne på VIP-dassene eller noe.

Vanskelig å si. Var veldig merkelig timing også på den sparkingen. Soton var på vei oppover og var i god form.

[SindreWikre]

Ble litt redd når jeg så Alex Mcleish her , fy det hadde vært skremmende dårlig valg. ELENDIG Manager.

Adkins Di Matteo eller Poyet!

Nigel Adkins has been contacted by #Leeds owners GFH Capital. The contact has been made in the few hours. No info on #Adkins reply. #LUFC


Freelance journalist ‏@indykaila
I will have update later today on Nigel Adkins to #Leeds talks and #GFH Capital latest position on ownership. #LUFC


HÃ...PER, HÃ...PER , HÃ...PER.

Tror nok uansett at Leeds har kontaktet Adkins, han er en av de soleklare favorittene til jobben.

her er en liten oppsummering av hans karriere innen fotball http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oE6UIT1X8I&feature=youtu.be

[Blank_File]

Jeg var meget optimistisk når Warnock ble ansatt i fjor på samme tid, og selv om jeg nå håper på Adkins, så hjelper det bare ikke en eneste drit uten en plan som er langsiktig. La oss håpe at det tenkes annerledes fremover!

[nord]

Der kræves en meget stor mand og autoritet til at betræde jobben som Leeds manager. Den eneste som helt sikkert ville klare denne jobben ville være Sir Alex Ferguson. Det er en uriaspost at komme til Leeds, desværre.   

[Runar]

Hva var egentlig begrunnelsen fra Southampton for å gi Adkins sparken? Virker jo som om han hadde støtte hos fansen i alle fall.

De mente han ikke hadde kompetanse til å gjøre klubben bedre og sterkere enn det den var. Derfor hentet de inn en spanjol i stedet.

[Joe Jordan]

Adkins hadde vært knall men hva kan han egentlig få utrettet med en gjeng oldboys på langtidskontraker, null kreativitet og eiere som viser med all tydelighet at de ikke har penger?

PL virker fjernere enn noen gang.

Det ryktes at ting kan skje i dag/morgen...men fb-rykter er jo ikke alltid like troverdige - spesielt når det er snakk om rykter som skal være til fordelfor Leeds United...

Men som sagt, det skal være ting på gang...og det er Adkins som skal inn...straks Warnock pakker sammen og pensjonerer seg.
