    I'm currently going back to work, so leave for now.

    I said you could correct me. You have. That's fine. Your not averse to criticism of the club, fine.

    But remember this began from you quoting me and wishing.....

    sanction and choose are two separate things.

    if Turnbull says to him do you want this player he is really good, and Adams says yeah okay. That's not fair on Adams. there must have been a reason for turnbulls sacking and i dont think it was because Adams needed a fall guy.
    like i said before give him this window and the next then he loses the benefit of the doubt from me.

    Two things. Firstly Adams left Morecambe on 3rd June. We announced him joining us on 4th June. Things can happen very quickly.

    Secondly, I've no idea what illegal act you are referring to involving Adams. The only issue of legality in the EFL relevant to this is whether or not the Morecambe chairman gave City their permission to approach Adams. Their Chairman said that had happened some months previous.

    some people were implying that Adams was okaying/sigining some players whilst still at morecambe. which is illegal.

    It is not illegal for a manager to do that. It might be immoral in the eyes of some but hardly in this kind of situation when a manager is on the verge of joining another club

    you might be a bit confused here, I only replied to your 2nd comment not the top. this might explain why I'm confused about "wishing" what did I/who wish?

    What do you mean by nothing has improved yet it's been 4 months and Adams is manager not owner what are you expecting him to do apart from improve on pitch performances

    Really don't get what you mean

    If you believe somebody else signed Angol then you must not have listened to a single Derek Adams press conference. In Adams' mind, Angol is the best player in this division. He even made a point of saying he wanted him because of how he tore apart his Morecambe side last season.

    Lee Turnbull did not sign the players. He identified them, 'scouted' them, profiled them but did not sign them.

    His scouts he’s brought in will identify him players. He doesn’t have to choose those and that is no different to what we had under Turnbull. If it wasn’t then adams should not have joined.
    Adams sanctioning the signings means it is on his head if they fail. It’s simple. Let’s not make more excuses for him than we have already.
    It’s clear adams likes angol. He was an adams signing

    That is certainly what Sparks inferred when he said at the time of announcing Adams' arrival that the recruitment of players was the responsibility of the manager and that he, the manager, had the final say.

    just because he rates him doesn't mean he signed him at all. sparks said we made targets in the spring hence why the signings were so fast flying in. @How@How because it answers your point too.

    So are you telling me adams signed a 3 year deal knowing he wouldn’t get final say on players? Rubbish

    to be a bit pendantic; If someone tells you this player is great but then you realise he is made of glass, is that the fault of the DoF or the Manager?

    if as the manager you realise the DoF fed you BS what would you do?

    Do your research on him and find it out yourself. We hadn’t even started pre season at that point. He wasn’t doing anything else.
    You’ve completely lost it here.

    that's a bit of a jump... if he comes straight in he's not going to have time to asses the squad right? if I start working tomorrow they don't expect me to be immediately up to speed right?

    why would I say he needs 2 windows to BUILD his squad?

    please read what I am posting thanks.

    there we go that classic "do your own research" its not up to me to prove you right that's up to you!

    in all honesty i have never heard a single person say to me "do your own research" and actually be right.. last time i heard that was from an anti-vaxxer saying that bill gates is trying to kill us all......
