How many managers have had a great season in league 2 and then been snapped up by a championship club and failed miserably. Adams managed Plymouth in league1 for 2 seasons so has had the experience of that and maybe he's now found a club that he wants to stay and move up the leagues. His experience of league 1 will help us establish ourselves in that league if we get promoted and will have a decent budget , whereas he knew that if he stayed at Morecambe he wouldn't have much chance of keeping them up so left for a club that would if he gets us up. Football management is the same as any management job and you gain experience and choose when to go for a higher position to enhance your career.

 

How has Adams made himself liable for exposure…..he’s spent nothing if you are comparing him with Tottenham , he spent nothing at Morecambe either. So…….?

Maybe those clubs didn't make a bid, but there was interest

 

See, we can make all kinds of redundant statements, but these are all personal preference.

Some would tell you "A goalkeeper should never be captain", but Manuel Neuer has disproven that for years winning the top competitions in international and domestic football.

Some would tell you "The best way to success is to spend money", but we know for a fact that's not the case at this level - see Phil Parkinson.

Some would tell you "A manager shouldn't be a friend to the players", but Jurgen Klopp has blown that out of the water with Liverpool.

These quoted, stock phrases simply aren't facts. Stuart failed because for a ton of reasons; that he was pally with the players just isn't a critical flaw in his approach.

 

What was it then and what are these “tons of reasons”

If you want me to form an opinion based on your comment you need to quote more than stock phrases as you put it.

Then compare his record say with Adams record perhaps?

I'm calling him Greg.

 

Good move.

 

No, the powers that be at City said several times Stuart had money to play with and hadn't used his budget.

I'm certainly not comparing Stuart to Adams. They seem completely different, what I'm saying is the style doesn't matter; it's substance that matters.

 

So what’s the substance, in either case. I have been a manager for many many years. Managers always have a boss, I had a few .I always wanted a boss that was firm and fair, as opposed to one who wanted to be my best friend.

Stuart , like it or not was the latter, the substantial difference between the two , to me, is I would happily sit in the Adams camp. That’s substance and style all rolled into one, in my opinion.

 

You are saying with evidence , what I spoke of earlier. It was poor, falling over whilst drunk on car roofs isn’t a good look either?

 

At the moment?

It's always been the case that many fair and reasoned appraisals have been rubbished and laughed off as negative, even if the vast majority have ultimately been proven to be correct down the years.

 

Well that's true.

I think some assume that if we sign a player, we've signed them because the manager thinks they're ideal.

It's more likely, especially at this level, that we've signed the best known available player within budget - which could be Adams' sixth, seventh, eighth, or greater choice. In which case I don't think Adams will lose any sleep if they're not the next Pélé, as long as he's got some cover - seems some put too much stock in actually getting a deal over the line as a mark of absolute confidence from the gaffer.

 

I've given you a like cos you can spell faseeshus. Yes I've got me coit.

 

You should have a gig on Countdown mate.

 

He did well at Plymouth. Arguably they are very similar to us

 

I wouldn't say its the "easiest" part of football. It takes a good reading of the game to communicate correct and timely info to your fellow players, plus also confidence and respect from your team mates. Perhaps that's what's been wrong with our team for the past 4/5 years. We've all been saying that we're missing a leader on the pitch. The fact that the armband has been passed around (and in some cases, thrown around), I think indicates that we haven't had many players who want to take control of the game and the team. Conor Coady is an absolute text book case of a player that communicates to his team mates, who in turn respect and listen to him.

 

Cant comment on your last sentence but the rest bang on. Absolutely bang on.
