    Incredible achievement.
    What do folk want him to say .
    Right job done I'm off elsewhere.
    Let him enjoy the moment for FS.
    Once the dust settles he will be at VP.

    I wouldn't wish this out come, but on the flip side it would serve us right for being an absolute basket case and at least give us a laugh

    He's an ambitious manager so if he does come to Valley Parade surely that would be a step up, a great achievement but no pressure at Morecombe where as he will be expected to get us promoted if he comes.

    If there is no done deal and he has identified targets and influenced our retained list
    Surely that's a massive breach of contract

    Too right.

    It must be a done deal.

    If it is him wonder if his number 2 John McMahon will come with him, he seems to have more to say and more animated on the touchline..

    Hi all, hope everyone's well. That was a very dodgy penalty but huge congratulations to Morecambe. They've really achieved against the odds. Bonner is on Quest TV tonight at 10pm discussing today's final so there might be a comment about Adams. Everyone seems to think he was coming to you regardless of today's result. But (to use a gross generalisation) he's a canny Scot so don't be surprised if he's got another plan. I think he's also dour as feck but a brilliant manager who consistently overachieves. Wishing you all luck with the appointment and hope we'll meet in League One in 22/23.....unless we get relegated of course.

    He could have said "I'm staying at Morecambe, cos I've taken them up, I believe in this club, and I want to progress even further". Why didn't he say that.
    Tbh - I've no idea now what is going to happen! Can't see him coming, cos he's just achieved success, but at the same time, didn't say that when asked. What a to doo!!!!

    Well done Shrimpers - that's put the cat amongst the pidgeons , but the cat is surely out of the bag now and will come to us -along with a couple of his current players. I know what I'm saying anyway ...

    What did you expect him to say? He’s just got the club promoted . It’s 5 minutes after final whistle . Let the dust settle and stop worrying . Did he say he was staying when he had the perfect opportunity? Did he say we look forward too next season in league one ? No he said well just enjoy tonight

    Any manager choosing a L2 side over a Championshiip side needs to seek medical help.

    If Adams is on his way to City, he's not saying 'no done deal', he's saying 'look lads, it's all about tonight, we can think about the future tomorrow'.

    Dear me, for Sparks' sake and his 'manager has done the retained list' comments, this manager needs announcing tomorrow morning.

    Agree with most I think he's coming or else why not instantly dismiss it, but you do have to question his sanity , and I'm sure Mr Sparks is in for a sleepless couple of nights
