    If thats the case, someone will need hanging out to dry for wasting a month and losing out on the other candidates. That is a nightmare scenario, which if it happens will show Sparks up to be a fool.

    Some people take those words as a challenge and go all out to prove that in fact, they can be.

    If that's what it takes to get us out of this league I'll take it.

    can we start a new poll on whether this whole Adams thing is just a ploy to keep us interested while the STs go on sale? I'd say 90%.

    Its deffo Adams we want. 100%. Adams wants the move.

    Turnbull had the say on the retained list. And will continue to identify players.

    Aside from all the controversy that has plagued his managerial career since his days with Boston, it is 8 years since he has had any success, so my question to you is why?

    He's washed, and his performance is getting worse and worse.

    What year do you live in, 2010?

    Find a newer, better manager.

    There's a couple of non-verified articles from a couple of rags saying Wellens will be installed at Doncaster.

    Once again we've failed to make the number one appointment, in my eyes.

    If it is to be Adams we've another 9 days of pages and pages of folk getting frustrated and annoyed, AT LEAST.

    Will be more if they go to Wembley

    If you say so....

    Of course it's not at all possible that we were talking to him then someone else came in with a much better offer financially. Yep, tgat would never happen....

    The statement said "the club is not seeking applicants."

    To me, that doesn't imply that we were 'a bit close' to making an appointment, but rather the agreements had been made. Clearly that isn't the case with Wellens, therefore I'm happy to conclude he's not the person referred to when we sacked Trueman and Sellars.

    Not sure where the Wellen's appointment came from, there were strong rumours on here but as a few have said Derek Adams was the one Ryan was waxing lyricals about inj his interviews.
    I thought it would be Wellen's because Adam's was still involved at Morecombe, maybe we've read the situation wrong and it might not be either.
