Why was Adkins sacked?
-
-
because the Chairman Cortese is one of the new breed of owners who treats it like a real life Football Manager! He got bored and wanted something more continental so went with Pochettino. He probably wants him in to try and attract more European talent (specifically Spain) and follow Swansea's modelComment -
More bizarre is Leonardo Jardim being sacked from Olympiakos, sitting in 1st place in greek league 10 points clear of 2nd place and still in european competition and cup playComment -
That is bizarre. He must be wanted elsewhere, or got into an argument. Perhaps same with Adkins.Originally posted by silvapComment -
Could be, but there must be more to it than that. Maybe another club wants Adkins?Originally posted by VaughanyComment -
no, was simply that the Chairman wanted somebody more flashyOriginally posted by LookingtostartComment -
The Chairman didnt like Jardim's style of play, he didnt like how he Jardim was playing with two defensive midfielders and not playing an attacking style. Even though they beat Kavala 2-0 and Levadeaikos 1-0 it wasnt deemed good enoughOriginally posted by LookingtostartComment -
a scapegoat.Comment -
There is also a rumour that Jardin was plowing the Chairman's wife which never goes down too well.
The Adkins decision was ridiculous, if he was going to be sacked it should have been at the start of the second. He took them from 22nd in League One to the EPL in a couple of years and had lost just two of their previous twelve. To hire a guy who struggled with Espanyol and with limited (if any?) English skills is a bit of a joke.Comment -
Jardim should become Porto's coach next year if they loose the championship to benficaComment
