    to add to this I love how people "debate" just by saying I am wrong and insult rather than actually being bothered to give any evidence of the fact.

    you have made it clear you expect Adams to fail and that's fine (you compared him to bowyer, grayson and jewell) thats perfectly fine but I'm just saying he hasnt got all the tools he has to make this side good.

    I was talking about if you was manager. That’s what adams should have done. Not you. Do his own research on the player and his injury record. That’s a strange jump to anti vaxxer. Very weird

    And that’s because you asked me what I’d do or what the manager should do? Have you read what you asked me?

    He might not have tools but you’re not making excuses for decision he has clearly made. At least be more balanced in your defence of him.

    Ah i see now! it is confusing when you jump from the 1st to the 3rd person about the same person. I thought you were saying to me (“you”) i should have done my research on (“he”) adams.
    In that case thats true you could argue that. Depends how much faith he had in him. The fact he is now gone tells me it was too much.

    Why do you think Turnbull left?

    You keep saying it is illegal, so should we call the police?

    Everyone knew from last December that Adams was going to be our next manager, Morecambe included. There was barely a reaction from them when he left.

    You keep getting it twisted.

    you are saying last window was his decision on which his head must rest on.
    I disagree.
    I will agree with you WHEN and only WHEN he is given more windows. If after two years we are in a relegation battle he has to go. No problem.

    you know as just as much as i do that this isnt a top squad. Especially with how injury prone they are.

    Not saying he was poached or anything, but if he was sorting out players for city while at Morecambe they could sue us or derek.

    Adams and sparks are on record as saying we rang him in feb, Derek and Morecambe said wait till after the play offs. contract negotiations only started after the play off final. This is public common knowledge. And i can find the interview if its still on bbc sounds.

    The late signings of Robinson and Lacey probably did for Turnbull we needed Strikers and we ended up with them :(
    Just got a bad feeling that Adams was not told the real problems within the club .............. with him bringing his OWN network of scouts in should indicate how much he didn’t rate Turnbulls scouting

    The Morecambe chairman had already given permission for City to approach Adams about becoming the City manager.

    "approach Adams about becoming the City manager." - after the play-offs, Derek wasn't approached in December. and Morecambe were approached in Feb at which point they both (Derek and Morecambe) said wait until the end of the season.

    The team is harder to beat which normally works in League Two having a decent defence that usually concedes just 1 goal is key and I disagree the style of play is good we can see that because we generate chances for fun most games but there are some critical weaknesses that haven't been addressed in those 4 months

    I think it's acceptable to not have created league two Barcelona in 4 months

    Why would City approach Adams in February considering the run we where on ?????
    Can understand the December approach but February?????
    When in the same month they gave Sellars and Trueman deals to manage the club for the next 16 months

    Or was it yet another blunder by our amazing PR people ,????

    "This club has an ambitious fanbase and it needs someone who can front up to that pressure and deal with it. Derek said to me in December when I met him: 'I thrive under pressure'. He invites it and so do I.

    Departing Morecambe for Valley Parade - dropping a division in the process - represented a show of faith in the club after initial discussions in December.

    I don't understand what that has got to do with what I said though?
    which was;

    "approach Adams about becoming the City manager." - after the play-offs, Derek wasn't approached in December. and Morecambe were approached in Feb at which point they both (Derek and Morecambe) said wait until the end of the season.

    I see it! fair enough :thumbup:

    still though my point stands contracts weren't signed until after the play offs!

    spot on bud but your dealing with City fans who seem to think that despite having to deal with a squad that includes players that screwed us over last season including McCall , a squad made up with Turnbull signings that we should be winning every game 4-0 :)
    Put it this way had we a decent target man up top now and during Angols and Cooks injuries we could easily have at least another 7/8 points on the board
    FGR should won
    Bristol Rovers chances yet again missed for fun
    Walsall yet again more sitters missed

    so that’s 6 points off the top of my head without the others I have missed

    imagine had we signed a decent forward instead of the two we ended up with late on
