Nigel Adkins: Reading sack manager after 6-1 defeat

Monday 15th Dec 2014,

Reading have sacked manager Nigel Adkins after 20 months in charge of the Championship club.

The former Southampton boss, 49, was appointed in March 2013, but Saturday's 6-1 loss against Birmingham was his last in charge of the Berkshire club.

Reading are 16th in the Championship and 10 points from a play-off place.

"Following this weekend's 6-1 defeat at Birmingham, the board feel that a change in manager is necessary,

Never liked him, cheerio

Reading were awful when we played them, saying that they nearly drew with us with only 10 men.

He will find a another job no problem Reading just wasn't really the right club for him.

Good manager in wrong job! Just goes to show being good manager does not mean success at any club?

Or that success does not necessarily mean that the manager is good

Why? What makes you so confident that Tan will bring in someone better?

After having followed so many manager´s jo-jo careers, I´ve come to the conclusion that a manager´s influence on a team´s performance is highly overrated. The most important is that he wins over the wardrobe and makes the players believe in what he´s trying to do. The actual tactics and formations used in a game is subordinate.

I once read an interview with one of Capello´s former players, and he said he was less than impressed by Capello´s actual knowledge about football. But he also said Capello was very good at motivating the players and make them perform.

Besides this, you first of all need luck: luck in games (success builds success) and luck in the transfer marked. It´s hard to predict really, which players will be a hit (one way to make sure SOME will be a hit, is to build a huge squad).

There are so many x-factors a manger cannot control and it´s hard to find anyone who has been successful all the way. It seems to be a good idea, however, to give a manager time. All the sackings in British football is a joke, in my opinion, and just very rarely a change of manager have a positive longterm effect. There has been studies on this, and statistically, sacking a manger more often has a negative than a positive effect.
