Look, Wilkins is gone, I was shocked to start with and am not convinced Adams is the right choice, but the reasons Wilkins is no longer MANAGER are not soley down to the position he finished in. He royally screwed up the player negotiations in the Winter and then didn't portray a united front with the chairman. It is not oonly DK that would have made this decision. The same people who are 'poor Dean'..ing it would no doubt have been in the 'sort it out and get some quality players in Wilkins' camp around December / January. We really on see the table, which to be honest, although better than last year, we were still a long way off getting into the play-offs in reality. I hope Dean stays as he is a GREAT coach, but he clearly struggled with the media and dealing with player contracts etc. I will actually trust the board as they know what is going on at the club better than I do, and have brought in Horton, Adams, Taylor, Coppel and McGhee, all reasonably high profile or successful managers.

I agree with BHA Loyal - sport is also business - if we don't get back into the Championship next season, the financial implications will have a serious impact on fielding a team - the stadium won't pay for itself. Shame about Ray, good luck Mickie, see you in two seasons Steve?
