It’s a quieter news day in the soccer world today, but the major story is that former Southampton manager Nigel Adkins may become the next manager of Reading Football Club.
This one seems like a desperate move to me after Gus Poyet turned down the opportunity to manage Reading. Adkins is a qualified manager, but he’s comparable to Brian McDermott. Hiring Adkins would be seen as a sideways move for Reading Football Club. At this rate, why not accept the likelihood that the team will be relegated and hire someone who can help the team rebuild in the summer and try to come back up next year?
What are your thoughts about the prospect of Nigel Adkins becoming Reading’s new manager?
