Right. First off it's 2am here and I'm a little battered. Secondly I'd like to say that I hope those that know me as PaoloRossi over the last few years on here would know I'm not the type to make stuff up.
Whilst out on the booze tonight at a venerable establishment known as Trader Vics I bumped into Nigel Adkins. He was wearing a pink shirt and chino's which is only interesting because that was what I was wearing too hence conversation starting.
Nothing like the stereotypes of people who work in football, just an unassuming normal bloke. He was clearly gutted about what had happened at Saints but didn't want to comment on specific clubs or jobs despite my gentle pushing. What he did say though was that he hadn't spoken to anyone about another job, got the impression he was just happy to have some time out. From other comments he made I don't think he'll be rushing back into any job.
I couldn't get him to say anything about Hudds in particular but as I say no one has approached him yet and he doesn't seem mad keen to take another job straight away.
Top bloke though, and great dress sense.

If Adkins isn't Town manager before next saturday I will be shocked  . On a serious note though, I'd be surprised if he was going to give anything away, he probably has experience already in knowing how to avoid giving straight answers as such. |

True and he was certainly more sober than me so my cunning questions were probably easily side stepped!

It's great that you can admit to being in a bar with two blokes in pink shirts chatting, when you were one of them.
This site is so non-judgemental ;D ;D
Good post though - not so good an outcome likely though.

Also my early London days saw me spending time in the company of many famous people in recording studios, I had it beaten in to me to barely acknowledge them and certainly never ever ask for photos, autographs and the like. |

What was he drinking ?
If it was Gin and Tonic or even worse halves of real ale then I hope we never talk to him.

There have been several reputable sources in the media placing Mr Adkins in Dubai this week. Now the one we really need to know about - can anyone vouch for Dean Hoyle that he actually went to Ireland and not Dubai?  |

Fibber Maggees isn't a hotel.
