    What about McFarland. Quality manager and the original sh#t who did a runner before Parky.

    The T&A today said they "believe" it to be Adams. Their track record is appalling so perhaps it's not him ? All will be revealed soon enough.

    I'd definitely have McFarland in my top Five, possibly ahead of Jewell because he started off "Bantam Progressivism" and took a team out of the Fourth Division for what looked like keeps. Not the most entertaining of our fondly remembered sides, but by far the most pragmatic.

    I think top would be Cherry because of the circumstances in which he did it - liquidation, rotting ground, finding gems like Hendrie, McCall, Abbott etc.

    Dolan would have to be somewhere close because of the football that 87/88 team played, bit Parky will always be top simply because he made history and created an epoch that only ended when the mad german came along

    The Morecambe fan's forum has posters speculating whether or not Keith Hill or Mark Cooper could replace Adams if he moves to Valley Parade.

    not if Parky is still receiving a pay-off from Sunderland which prevents him taking another job before June 1st

    As speculation mostly is. Our own local paper fuelling the story and putting a picture of him with a really doesn’t help - but of course that’s journalism and to be expected. All I’m saying is if it were happening to us, I’d be frustrated.

    Because they’d completely bombed their season and he’d had public fall outs with players and fans.
    Similar form to us, barely scoring goals.
    Basically everything that could go wrong was going wrong and the board believed that despite creeping over the line they needed to change something to even have a chance of success in the playoffs .
    Not all as rosy as it looks from the outside when you see a team in a play off position.

    Get your point, absolutely. But this is football 2021. Contracts mean nothing. I would love Adams as our next manager. If I was a Morecambe fan, I'd feel pretty let down.

    Have a lot of time for Flynn. Loved by his players, a straight up manager of men. Wish him well however the season finishes. Like a lot on here, I'd have been happy for him to return.

    Yep, would absolutely agree with the impact that Dolan, McFarland and Cherry had for us - all most worthy of our applause. It was just a personal thing for me with Jewell and Parky - in different ways they took us to places we'd never been before. The Premier, Wembley, thumping Chelsea et al. One of my most amazing BCFC memories was mis timing dates for a holiday in Menorca, which meant I couldn't get to the Wolves match that got our amazing promotion into the Premier. I was sat in a restaurant in Cala Galdana with five waiters roaring City on as we watched it on TV. I have never been so drunk.

    Alexa is rubbish - she told me Bill Bailey, our next manager and Eurovision contender.

    But she does get somethings right. When I asked about Bradford City and Gary Bowyer and about City and Simon Grayson she said "sorry something went wrong."

    I would agree 100% all did well for the club. Though in my time of supporting City I would also include Roy McFarland.

    Oh, and football under Terry Dolan was great to watch so he deserves to be in that mix.

    It’s Adams definitely this is from a good source. At least we will play the Parky style sluggish .
