He got them up two divisions in two seasons and got them in the premier league where I admit they have struggled.
However most teams who come up struggle and even if they went down they will still be better off than when he took over as you get parachute payments from the Premier League.
There was also a good chance they would go back up in a season or two, again getting all the money you get for being in the Premier league.
Other teams like Bolton yo yo'd between premier and championship for a few years before having a number of years in the Premier league. Also Wigan and WBA have yo yo'd.
Yet another example of a sad day for football.

Shocking
Southampton wouldn't be where they are now if it wasn't for Adkins, he was making a really good fist of keeping them in the Premiership - they were unbeaten in their last 5 league games including draws with Arsenal and Chelsea.
It's a bit like Forest's decision to get rid of Sean O'Driscoll when they were just outside the play-off positions and had just beaten Leeds Utd.
