What did he change?

That seems extremely dumb given wood fitted right into the existing system.

It's been a philosophical change. Why? I'm not sure. But it's definitely happened..

Adkins in talks with Reading

http://www.talksport...cdermott-194061

Even if Reading do get relegated they receive £23m next season from the Premier League, that's quite a bounty to have in hand & be able to spend on retaining players & new signings from an FFP point of view.

I thought they were saying Poyet was nailed on for that job?

I thought i'd heard betting had been suspended with Poyet as favourite? (Which doesn't necessarily mean anything but usually a sign).

Adkins has drifted for the Reading job with Poyet now being clear favourite again. If Poyet does go I could see Adkins taking the Brighton gig. If our lot are interested they need to be moving now. If I were a manager having to choose between Leicester and Brighton at the minute I'd be heading to the south coast. I reckon they're a better bet in terms of job security, the owners are happy to fund managers, and they are well supported. Some big potential there.

Interesting point. If we stick with plan A Pearson until the summer and then get rid, Adkins may no longer be available and I shudder to think of the alternatives?

Okay, it didn't run into millions (in bodies i mean not £'s)

Unlike some in the last century who didn't mean anyone any harm. You and Blair have a lot in common

And since when was Blair ever a socialist ?

Brighton are a good bet for a manager.

They're well backed by the owner, gates are growing and I'm sure I read there was plans to extend their stadium, everything about them seems to be on the up and they've not been naively managed by their owner to get there. Whilst I'm sure they run at a loss like all Championship clubs, I'm certain they're not £100m in debt and the restrictions that derive from that along with bumper pay deals clogging up our books playing havok with future plans

Shouldn't we all be hoping that Poyet goes to Reading?

Brighton are realistically our biggest challenge for the 6th spot. To lose their manager now would surely see them in the same disarray that many are saying WE would be in if Pearson gets sacked?

Good point Col, albeit losing out on Adkins would be a mare IMO

lol

What about plan B?

Surely you're not banking on plan A being such a huge success...

Not sure big Nige has a plan B does he? Never mind his Plan A will blow the other teams out the water . . . . . .

Agreed. Poyet has knocked Reading back, apparently. You'd think that would make Adkins favourite again. If Adkins wasn't available I'd probably advocate leaving Pearson to it for the rest of the season. Two of the three others I'd have on my shortlist (McCarthy, Warnock and McDermott) are in jobs anyway and the other doesn't seem to be in demand just now. If I were the owners I'd be making the decision to get rid of Pearson once he arrives back from Portugal so long as I were confident of persuading Adkins to join. I really think he is an outstandng manager.

If the owners do wait until the summer and decide to sack Pearson then I hope Villa go down because Lambert would be another excellent choice.
