NIGEL ADKINS IN FRAME FOR BRIGHTON JOB

Scunthorpe's promotion-winning boss ready for Seagulls switch

WANTED - Nigel Adkins

07/11/2009

NIGEL ADKINS will this week be offered the chance to take over at Brighton.

The Scunthorpe boss is wanted by new Seagulls chief Tony Bloom to lead his side back to the Championship and into their new ground.

Bloom has backed a £93million stadium at Falmer after spending more than 10 years at the run-down Withdean. Adkins, 44, has led The Iron to two promotions in three seasons and is ready to drop a division.

Brighton, near the foot of the table, have parted company with Russell Slade and Martin Hinshelwood took charge in yesterday's 4-4 FA Cup draw at Wycombe.

Manchester United reserves coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also keen on the job but lacks experience.

what a poor story. Obviously Adkins will leave the Iron but to a bigger club, more chance of him going to Dukk
