    So a plan B is in place then. Therefore no one can have a go at the club as you alluded to earlier.

    Flynn's young, not set in his ways regarding coaching and he's probably ambitious. Whoever comes here will have to cope with the pressure and expectations of us lot. That would be the same for Adams (or Pep).

    Adams is only five years older than Flynn, neither are that old.

    I fully expect this to descend into a situation not unlike that Paladini saga soon.

    We need a photo of Adams, in a pub, in Bradford, holding today's newspaper.

    Not at all. It will be Adams and Morecambe are not stopping the speculation.

    So maybe this was agreed long time ago.

    I don't think that's true, it's documented that no approach was made back then.

    Something has happened since that has made Sparksy boy think Adams is a cert, but that's not what we're hearing from Adams through the media.

    My guess is Sparks has got this wrong, and is hoping he can still persuade Adams to ditch Morecambe for us - but the odds have to be a little bit longer right now.

    It’s not poaching because he has a release clause in his contract. We interviewed him in December.

    We had talks with him in December and Sparks fell in love with him. The only one for him.

    Adams waited for us in December and we are waiting for him now.

    Confirmed by Parker in todays T&A. So it is well documented there was an approach.

    Todays T&A. Parker saying Adams is expected. Interviewed in December. Confirmed. Morecombe were willing to let him go back then.....

    Recruitment underway and announcements soon. Reads like Adams is simply playing it cool and letting the dust settle on his promotion. Leaving now would take the shine off it and Morecombe should be enjoying their promotion.

    I expect an announcement by early next week at the latest.

    This is just rumour mongering because both clubs are Welsh. Some people don’t know that Wrexham is a 3h drive minimum from Newport and is on the outskirts of Liverpool.

    An iconic moment in Claret&Banter history! Who were the posters involved? Was hilarious!
