    They should make sure the female security person he flashed sits in on any job interview and has final say.

    He talks more in public about City than Stefan Rupp does.

    Pretty much what I said on here last week or so. Adams Is currently doing nothing to suggest he’s worth backing in January. Not even close.
    I deleted the Evans part. Feel like we’ve been over it time and time again. Most don’t want him. Some do. It’s been done to death

    Realistically, Stefan Rupp isn't going to spend any money in January. So whatever we bring in will be within the current budget and is unlikely to take us anywhere near to promotion challengers.

    Similarly, sacking Derek Adams isn't going to happen as I doubt Stefan Rupp would sanction another compensation payment. Sacking him would also reflect very badly on Ryan Sparks.

    We will plod on, hoping that we've got enough about us to avoid looking nervously at the bottom of the table. I think we have, just.

    I think you’re right and hope you are on the last part of being safe etc.
    but if we lose our next two (I know worse case scenario pessimistic) but let’s say we do lose. We will be level on points with Colchester and Sutton just 2 points off of us.
    Those have been two bad sides this year. I’d say then we are in real trouble. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that

    the podcast is him and a city fan Idle so they cover both Posh and us quite heavily-especially when things aren’t going well

    Don't get this Trevor. Adams got Ross County promoted twice in Scotland; Plymouth and Morecambe in the EFL. That's four promotions he managed. 'Luck' happens in one off games - you can't be lucky throughout an entire season, never mind through four seasons worth of promotions. Like you, I'm utterly underwhelmed by what he's achieved thus far at VP, but a season is a marathon not a sprint. Let's see what Xmas and New Year brings from him.

    Odious bloke. He's doing average at the Gills as he has at alot of his clubs. He's no Messiah - he's just a very naughty boy.

    Didn't realise a City fan was also involved with the podcast to be fair

    Many fans choice in the summer, Richie Wellans, sacked at Donny today.

    Would those same fans still have him now I wonder?

    Also sacked at Salford yet when appointed there the same ones were saying we’d missed out. Don’t think so.

    Has he really done well at Gillingham though?. Currently in the relegation zone.

    It must be nearly a decade since he had any success.

    Lasted less than 12 months at Posh, so defies logic that their chairman reckons he would do well here, cannot get my head around that

    Think most will be watching very closely whenever we next appoint a manager - be it soon or in a few years, appointing a totally different style of manager will signal a continuation of the failure to plan properly and put in place an identity and footballing culture.

    Wellens is not in any way similar to Adams and doesn't logically follow on.

    We would need someone to pick up from where Adams leaves off and not simply start again AGAIN.

    He was under consideration for the Stevenage job until last week but Gills owner refused permission to speak. Evans says he’s leaving this summer when his contract is up.

    In fairness, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

    We see that often in football.

    What do you know, not much.

    He did alright when Swindon went up as champions in 2020 and our hapless club finished nowhere. When was the last time city we’re champions of any league?

    Got lucky to get Morecambe promoted jeeeez if your gonna have a pop then do it properly

    he got a team promoted that in reality should have been down at the bottom you don’t get that lucky over 40 odd games.

    As for Evans his record is no better than Adams and no doubt if we did get him in folk will change there mind again in 6 months time because sadly that’s the kind of laughing stock club we have become ............. no long term plan no nothing I mean how many managers are we into since Parky left ????? Your telling me that we are that unlucky that each and everyone was poor ?????
    Time people woke up and realised that whoever comes in will be up against it .........,,,,it’s the way this club and its fan base operate no long term vision no nothing and folk sit there wondering why it’s gone from bad to worse since our playoff defeat .......... Rahic caused it but the whole club ain’t doing a thing to sort it out ............. we with our support deserve better but while our fan base go on a witch-hunt if we ain’t beating everyone 5-0 then this will go on :(

    Cherry didn’t get off to the best start but given time he got us up
    Kammy wasn’t pulling up any trees when he first came in he got us up and kept us there
    Jewell complete shocking start but he got us there once he sorted his team out
    PP nothing at all during his first year but guess what he again changed it all around ...........

    Honestly if I was Adams with our fan base I would Fook off ASAP because I can guarantee you that if he does go that he will end up doing more than the poor sod who walks into this mess

    Interesting. They’ve taken 9 points from their last 10 league games. So have we.
