    No I'm not. I'm just trying inject a bit of humour into things. Plus although I've played a bit of footy but I don't think I am a better judge than a guy who does it (quite successfully) for a living.
    I am in no way trying to close down debate but I am entitled to my opinion just like everyone else.
    Why do you always try to jump down my throat all the time mate. Take a chill tablet.

    I give an opinion and you are straight on it. At least Fordy has a sense of humour.

    How many players have we brought in ? 6-7 ? Not convinced at all that we are any further forward from last seasons right off and the one before that and the one before that. All we seem to have done is reassemble Scunthorpe as Bradford ! and Scunny were fighting the drop all season. Certaintly to me we are at least 4 key players short of our non negotiable mission - auto promotion ? Unless Adams is the key ? and he can make the difference to an underwhelming ensemble ? Certainty look nowhere near Morecombe capabilities in that squad ?

    Mourinho has had a successful career but look what happens when the chairman (Levy) doesn't spend loads, it exposes him.
    I get a feeling that could be the case here.
    Far, far bigger spotlight on Adams now.

    Did Adam’s get big money backing from his chairman at his previous clubs? I thought Morecambe was a bit of a misfit team pulled together on the cheap (and then suprised everyone)? No idea about Plymouth’s finances.

    Good question , but unanswerable.
    Scottish Premier , probably equates to our lower CC level so , maybe not as low level basement football we are suggesting?

    For our level and standard, I'm happy with the appointment of Mr Adams and you are correct, unanswerable question.

    Alone, Adams is not the solution to the regression at Bradford City.

    He has no part in where we are today. I think he should do well, the fact he’s no ambition to be “ one of the lads” , like Stuart and our duo tried to be.

    Decent managers aren’t there to make friends,

    Firm but fair. That’s how it should be.

    Stuart had decent players for this level, He just had little idea how to use them to the best

    The small budget works at a small club for some managers.
    Im suggesting that might not be the case here.
    Small budget brings in lesser quality players who once they step out on the pitch could freeze.
    lesser quality players in the surroundings of a Forest Green or Morecambe never feel overrawed.
    Was like that at Spurs with the likes of Bergwjin and Lo Celso and Regullion.
    Mediocre players who were cheap.
    Even Mourhino's so called magic couldn't change that.

    Liked and agree with your post. Re my previous post replying to Tolly, I was being facetious about not being sure about sitting on the fence. Oh well, I'll get my coat...
