Nigel Adkins has bottled it and left Tranmere Rovers - despite vowing to fight until the bloody end of the season. What a mug!
Tranmere in the gutter
The ex-Southampton manager witnessed the League Two outfit get smashed 1-0 at home to Accrington Stanley on Tuesday night. Rovers are now sitting in 22nd spot, just two points above the relegation zone. Fans are fearing a drop into the National League and rightfully so, the way they're playing is a bloody shambles.
Adkins' empty promises
After the match, Adkins had the audacity to say he'd do everything in his power to turn the club's fortunes around. He spouted some nonsense about belief and hope, and not throwing in the towel yet. Mate, you've got to be having a laugh! You can't just talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk. And clearly, Adkins couldn't bloody walk it.
Adkins' hometown "loyalty"
He even had the cheek to bang on about how Tranmere is his hometown club and he'd never walk away. Well, look what happened. Two hours after the loss at Prenton Park, the club confirmed they'd parted ways with Adkins by "mutual consent". More like he jumped ship at the first sign of trouble. Some hometown loyalty that is!
Rovers are doomed
With Adkins gone, Tranmere are well and truly up shit creek without a paddle. They're languishing near the bottom of the league, their manager has done a runner, and the fans are left wondering what the hell is going on. It's a bloody disgrace. The beautiful game deserves better than this shower of shite.
