Fans split on Adkins

50% have lost faith in Adkins

Just over 40 per cent of users suggested Adkins should stay with the club, with a further nine per cent wanting him to be given a chance and to carry on until the end of the season.

However, 50 per cent of Iron-Bru.net users who voted on the poll want Adkins to be relieved of his duties in the hope a new boss can revive United's Championship survival campaign - even if it is just a honeymoon period.

Scunthorpe chairman Steve Wharton told BBC Humberside earlier this year that the thought of sacking Adkins, "hadn't even entered his head".
