I didn't realise what a mess they were in 2009, fans paying the wages, admin, relegated and points docked.Look at where they are now. I really rate Adkins.
I think luck has a lot to do with it. I mean, look at Pardew. He was rubbish at his previous clubs and he's doing alright now. It's money, that's all. If you put Alex Ferguson in charge of a team like Grimsby and didn't give him any money then he would struggle. Give a fool like McAllister £200 Kerbillion and he'd be a football God.
