Does Nigel Adkins remind anyone else of David Brent

[weststanduppercheerleader]

I occasionally have the misfortune of listening/watching his post-match interviews and the way he speaks it's more as if he's the head of a FTSE 100 company, rather than the manager of a football team.

He used the word conducive in Saturday's interview after the bore draw with Birmingham...when was the last time you heard a manager use that word? Do the majority of Stains fans even know the meaning of the word?

I'd rather have Gus's heart-on-sleeve, passionate, sometimes humorous talk any day of the week.

I can see what you mean. To me, he sounds more like a cross between a police officer and a politician....i.e pre-programmed to the enth degree and speaking on auto-pilot.
There doesn't seem to be anything natural about his delivery. No off-the-cuff emotional stuff. Just clipped and precise, almost robotic.
His eyes seemed to be away with the fairies sometimes...almost as if he has been hypnotised.

He's a pure politician. Everything he says is intricately pre-planned. He may as well be a robot.

this. he's such a f***ing cock!

He does a bit. He also strikes me as extremely arrogant. That being said, he is an excellent manager- tactical genius

 

[Stinky Pete]

What?

 

[Doc Lynam]

Nah but he's one hell of a break dancer.

i hate his cheap glasses that he blatantly thinks are really trendy.........also his hair.....no male over the age of about 12, when you're first discovering hair gel, should have that hair style

apart from that he's ok

 

[WhingForPresident]

He's a fresh of breath air.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Not exactly a new idea ...

Bearpit brings best out of Adkins - Football League - Football - The Independent

 

[Lady Whistledown]

He is a bit Brent, but then Pardew used to be the same, full of psycho-bullshit.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i've always thought that unless you're a proper silver fox....grey hair + hair gel is a big no no

Any excuse for another view of the classic Eric Hitchmo scene
