Adkins has said: “Recruitment is the biggest thing. I’m not on holiday. I’m available to speak to players all the time, because I understand just how important recruitment is. 

“The club are well aware I want the team in place for the start of pre-season. But I have to understand, as well, that agents are trying to get the best deals for their players, because that is how they get paid.

“There is a lot of work going on. I’m new at the football club and the owner is new at the football club. It’s in its infancy, it is fair to say. It’s great to see that he wants to have a big involvement in it.”
