    For sure! He'll be here for the challenge.

    The challenge of paying his mortgage. The challenge of paying his kids school fees. The challenge of getting out of bed everyday to coach players who haven't got a clue. The challenge of keeping his wheels on his car. The list of challenges go on.

    I'd say it's a dead cert.

    Posted on here the other day he was lined up for Donny. As @Bronco@Bronco says at the time I said we had no chance and stil believe that. Captain for them played in their promotion side and is a bit of a hero. It’s a no brainier for him

    We’ve never been in for Wellens. It’s always been Adams.

    can not remember who it was just that he didn’t come back and they agreed he would sign when he finished his holiday, by which time someone else had got in

    It was a bit of the sarcasm, Chris Wilder wouldn't come to Valley Parade, he'll be offered jobs above our level.

    Dave, based upon the postings alone, the T&S headline tomorrow will read...'Wilder Not Wild About City'...followed by a long resume of his career, happily filling up column inches. And then at the very bottom of the piece...'think a few posters on Bantam Talk'.

    He will have gone from Premier League to League 2 quicker than us. and that was pretty fast.

    Think it was Jon Stead.
    Said he'd sign a new contract with us when he came back off his holiday.
    But he signed for Notts County instead.

    Then there was Wayne Biggins who we wined and dined. He was all set to sign when Stoke City came in and pinched him! The City hirearchy were not amused **so funny

    According to the Sun he wanted a £4m pay off from Blades, nearly a year’s salary. Nearly. That’s more than City are worth.

    Adams is a decent appointment. I'd rather have had Wellens personally, but Adams has been consistently good in all his roles.

    But I don't know, I'm not convinced Ross County, Plymouth Argyle and Morecambe are quite as expectant as our fans are; he's going to get overanalysed by very vocal fans from day one, and we haven't seen him manage under that kind of scrutiny or pressure before.

    If he comes, dumping Morecambe after a successful season, he's taking a pretty big risk. Having said that, replicating the season with Morecambe if they stay down OR keeping them in L1 are both pretty daunting tasks....
