Adkins sacked..

Disgusting!

Hope they go down now.. he's taken them up 2 divisions.. and was clear of the drop zone and on an excellent run of form..
I agree - very strange. There seems to be the agreement among chairmen that you need a hard-working British manager to get you into the Premier league, and then a foreign manager to progress once you're there.

I suspect he'll get a job with a big club, having shown his quality. He can then look forward to motivating his players to beating Southampton twice a year - that seems to be what normally happens.
