    It may not be anywhere near the amount i quoted. We sack him and have to pay his wages until he gets a new job. the way he has performed with us, i would not offer him a job running my club. He has 2 and quarter years left on his contract, approx 120 weeks at say £3k potentially £360,000. Like you say it could be a lot less, it will all depend on how big his garden is.

    Doesn’t always work like that.

    360k is worth giving him anyone to feck off and look at his own CV.

    The key term there being “A Good Track Record”
    Football has changed. Every player needs to be good with the ball at their feet to succeed. That includes the Goalkeeper. Full Backs are seen as an additional dimension to the attack, so they need to be capable of being capable on both attacking and offensive fronts. More teams are deploying a system with 3 at the back; Which counters any team using a sole man up front, i.e. us.

    All these managers with good track records, Bowyer, Adams, Grayson think that they can use the same tactics year in year out an nothing will change. Of the 3 previously mentioned, 2 have done feck all at other clubs since their short stints with us. In the case of Adams, yeah he got morcombe promoted, but under much different circumstances (A club with low expectations, a lot of players thrive when there isn’t as much pressure compared to playing for a club with high expectations) and with a shit ton of luck (i.e. the play off final)

    Most of the managers that have worked here are also one dimensional an usually deploy negative tactics (The exception being McCall). Unless you are Parky and you have the full backing of the board, which simply isn’t possible under Rupp’s reign, You simply cannot play Negative football in front of 5 figure crowds and expect things to go well, because at this level, a mistake is simply inevitable an sooner or later teams will capitalise on that

    All this paying football contracts in full, is utter bullshit anyhow.
    How can people perform so poorly at their jobs and still get full salary.
    If you performed like that every day like that , you would be out of the door in no time.
    Basic salary £800 and performance bonuses would be the way to go. will never happen

    The comments on today's WOAP article are almost all against Adams as well and they're usually pretty balanced on there

    I'm sure you'd feel differently if someone gave you a nice contract then said oh no actually you're not doing the job to my preferences you lose all your money and your plans for your life

    Unless he has done something sackable then you've no reason to terminate the contract and simply being midtable doesn't suggest gross misconduct to me

    I wonder if the “on the brink” comment was anything other than Jason’s opinion.

    I owe you an apology @Fordy117@Fordy117 you called it very early and I disagreed.

    Adams is not a good fit for this club.

    Can you recommend one who is ?

    Calling out the management and the people who pay his wages , the fans , is a good starting point.
    I forgot though that would be immature and non of this his his fault, we have deep problems.
    If any of my employee's , made the same mistakes week in week out , they would not last very long, especially if they were saying its someone elses fault.

    I think some of Adams comments during his interview pointed to the fact he knew his job was in jeopardy.

    Tbf that’s one thing he’s spot on about this club does have problems, you don’t go through 3 CEOs and 10 temporary and permanent managers soon could be 11 without them. A fan base that is ever more divided also. Former pros like Warnock and Grayson have also brought up issues at the club, some fans get all defensive and say they are frauds or past it but it’s about time people realised this club is in serious trouble. Rahic started it but it’s never been repaired.

    Could it be that there are clauses in Adams contract such as once we can’t be promoted he can be sacked with reduced compo?
    I wouldn’t be surprised if something like this existed tying city’s hands until mathematically impossible. I’m just hypothesising but that might make sense. It ruins this season mind.

    Adams only has himself to blame. You can’t play a lone striker up front, Provide him no service an have him playing 15 yards ahead of the next line of attack whilst parking the bus, at home no less, an expect to get off scot free. His shit tactics have ultimately cost us the season by February

    It was just down to the right of me.The guy had a pop at Adams who just just told him to shut up
    I then had a go at him about doing his job and getting the players going and he just said the same.
    It wasn’t owt really.
    I thought the guy who shouted first was ready to have another go at half time but Adams never looked towards the stand and just headed for the ref.
