I recall reading that it was only Martin Perry who voted against demoting Wilkins and appointing Adams. Whether that is true or not, I'm uncertain.

No brainer, Hyypia is a loser as a manager, I'd have Adkins every time.

When and why did the Wendy thing start? I've always thought that this sort of snide name calling is unfair.

Im feeling very smug now, I looked on bet victor this morning to see what odds Sami was to go, and saw Adkins was 5/2,second favourite. Knowing our Tony appears to be backing Hyypia at least until the New Year, I thought I'd have a wager on Nige getting the heave ho first. By the time I had opened an account, he'd gone out to 3/1,so my initial fiver has turned into tweny quid, and as an opening offer I've got two free five pound bets, hapoy days

Never had you down as a JCL ? It started when he was a player many moons ago.

With Wilkins, that's what some fans were calling him.
Hence threads titled Wendy http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?301960-Wendy-Wilkins&highlight=wendy
Just thought you might know why this was.

It was because he didn't get tackles in.

I did my main stint as a youth but had to get on with my life. Always followed in some shape or form though.
Can't we offer Adkins a job as Physio? I'd enjoy giving him a cheer when he comes on with his magic sponge.

I think he was totally overrated.
Southampton were the closest thing to a one man team I've seen. Lambert was exceptional for them and no way would they have achieved what they did without him. Remember the game at the Amex when he was sent off? Southampton totally disintegrated without him.
Reading just don't have that quality up front (FFS is no Lambert) and I think Adkins has been found out.

Sack a manager, giving a replacement three games to look at his inherited squad of players before the transfer window opens. What a clueless way to run a club.
