Pepe the Horseman They're currently 6th, so it's not exactly unrealistic.


Have played more games than all around them but yes I suppose they could do it if they show better form than they have been showing.


Are you forgetting they have Wales’ best RB in their squad though :wink:


I think it is now Wales' ex-right-back. :wink:

No, that would imply that he is playing for a different country than Wales, e.g.Roberts is now Wales' right-back rather than Gunter is now Poland's right-back.

There is a further interpretation of mine though if he were now playing left-back for Wales he would then be Wales's ex- right-back but current left-back.
I think other posters at all interested would have been happy with either option, even if yours is wrong.

You do sometimes have a bit too much time on your hands IMHO Ian. :wink:

Cant stand Charlton, but really like Adkins, a decent bloke. Hope he does well there.

Fwiw, via a couple of sources, everything that turned bad behind the scenes at RFC post-McDermott promotion had at its root Nigel Adkins. Apparently rude, condescending and didn't care one iota for staff who had been at the club for 20 or 30 years.

just use the Italian model of getting a new manager while keeping the old one on the payroll, giving them different job titles and tell the old one not to bother coming into the office anymore

How reliable are these sources?

On camera and on social media etc, he seems a really decent guy but obviously not everything you see is a true representation of what a person is like

SSN interviewed Adkins live from Charlton's training ground this morning. Even the presenter was fawning over his positive mental attitude to life and all things football related. Always thought he was a fraud, but have been happy to stand corrected (^ doesn't sound like I'll ever will be lol).

I once tweeted him a picture of Reading Job Centre after another home defeat. Not my finest moment.

Given it went bad long before Adkins arrival, and lies firmly at the door of Zingaravich, I'm not buying.

He would have been given orders by Zingarevich and Samuelson to implement. I doubt they gave a shit about anyone.

I have heard this too from a source close to the club at the time. Bloke is a total clown.

I always thought he was a perma tanned bullshit merchant.

However I imagine what was going on in the background was fairly disastrous as well.
