    Fair play to Derek Adams. Saved Morecambe from relegation and will ply his trade again in L1

    Since he joined back 12 points out of a possible 42 with cole stockton the leagues 3rd top scorer. It was more down to other clubs being equally dire and having a similar points hault of 9/10 points over the last ten games, he hasnt pulled up any trees points wise, they scraped through.

    You could almost argue they've stayed up despite him, not because of him.

    Was hoping he would take them down so we could "welcome" him back to VP
    They will struggle badly next season and I wouldn't be surprised if we swap places with them
    Couldn't wait to see the back of him and his ego even tho we wouldn't get a better manager than him
    Morecambe and his adoring fan base are more than welcome to him see if they still feel the same about him this time next year

    Congrats to him and Morecambe, them staying up is akin to us staying in the Premiership. Glad we don’t have to play him next season, can’t be bothered with the sideshow it would bring. All focus should be on promotion and every game counts, not slagging a former manager as people were doing with Bowyer most of the game against Salford. Or who can forget Parky what’s the score when 2-0 up against Bolton, that ended well…

    We seem to have a habit of firing up opponents when they’ve spent time here, probably why Carlisle always look like Real Madrid against us.

    Reminds me of pre season comments this time. Morecambe will go straight down, Bradford up blah blah blah.

    Football does not work like such. And whatever you think of Adams, he has achieved the goal, I'm sure what Morecambe asked of him.

    As a comparison, Hughes 15 from 36 points, Adams 11 from 36 points.

    Another Derek masterclass last night, beat Stoke on penalties after achieving 31% possession, a paltry 4 attempts with zero on target in the game.
    You really had to be there, except you say a little prayer along the lines of thank God we got rid of Adams style of football

    I'd never want us to go on a cup run if it meant we had to suffer through performances like that.

    Good luck to him, great win today. Some on here have a hatred towards him because he didn’t succeed here, but he’s had success elsewhere and keeping Morecambe up for a second year in the trot will be a fantastic achievement.

    Imagine having 5 players in one team who can all chip in with a goal. I'd love to know what that feels like.

    This the Derek Adams that was hounded out of VP because his football wasn't super exciting?

    Yeah, I agree with the sentiment that City fans often sabotage the club with hysterical negativity.

    You can already see some in this thread!

    maybe if the fans had something to be positive about then there wouldn’t be so negative ........... I’m sure he thousands who bought season tickets season had a massive positive attitude before a ball was kicked ........,,,, yet again we are let down by mediocrity............. big gates at home ........big followings away yet some how we should be happy to be sat 8th with a squad that has been put together on a decent budget ...........I seriously don’t care anymore about it ......... that’s what that lot have done to me .........36 years a season ticket holder and I simply don’t care anymore ............. I should have been gutted that we didn’t have a game yesterday but yet again I had a great Saturday I didn’t wake up issued off because people on THOUSANDS of pounds haven’t ruined it .................... so before you start pulling the fanbase to bits look at the real problems and that’s that squad that are badly letting us down yet again

    Deludeds main aim is to avoid relegation this season really!!!
    No wonder most fans wanted him out
    Another ambitionless manager happy to trade on a poor past reputation
    Imagine being a Morecambe fan when the target is to avoid relegation and watching his brand of football deary me !!!
    Yesterday was a "freak" result they do happen

    I seriously cannot do with the man but if he keeps them up same with the fella at Accy then they have done great jobs considering what’s in that league with them ...............I bet there budget isn’t anywhere near the majority of clubs in that league .............. still budgets sometimes don’t count for much if the set up ain’t right as we are witnessing first hand

    I'd say so! They looked dead and buried not so long ago but an uptick in form has given them a great chance of survival now. This is Morecambe we're talking about, merely being in the football league is seen as a success for them and perhaps that's the environment that Derek relishes rather than a higher pressure one with a more ambitious team.
