Most liked posts in thread: New Manager - Welcome Derek Adams

All you need to get out of this league is pace, power, height and determination. If that leads to a less technical way of playing then who cares... let's face it, our fans hate technical possession football anyway. Adams' teams tend to be amongst the highest scorers in their division come the end - I don't particularly care how we acheive that, just so long as we do

 

Todays T&A. Parker saying Adams is expected. Interviewed in December. Confirmed. Morecombe were willing to let him go back then.....

Recruitment underway and announcements soon. Reads like Adams is simply playing it cool and letting the dust settle on his promotion. Leaving now would take the shine off it and Morecombe should be enjoying their promotion.

I expect an announcement by early next week at the latest.

Well its a win win then if Gareth Evans moves on , shown very little since his return to vp

Adam’s has my full support, looks like a great fit here to me.

I’m not that arsed about free flowing football in this division - JUST GET US OUT OF IT!!!!

 

I'm as happy as anyone having 'got our man'. But honestly, i can't help feeling that the way this has played out has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I remeber the McFarland debacle as though it was yesterday. One of their fans summed it up the way i would have felt :

Re: DA officially Bratford's latest manager

It's like my gorgeous wife, who I trusted and knew exactly how to treat me and get the best of me, has been carrying on behind my back. I was a little suspicious after I heard she'd been seen out for coffee over Christmas with a brash Twit from Yorkshire. But when I asked her about it she said a few of the right things but not wholly convincingly (I was in love so I fell in with the silent replies - so i thought the idea is so ridiculous it doesn't really deserve a full and proper answer and I'm at fault for asking). So we had this weekend break in London. It was spectacular, I was happier than I've ever been. Then the day after we got back, out of the blue, she just upped and left. Yes there were more rumours but I dismissed them. The day after that I saw pictures of her on Facebook with the brash Yorkshire Twit, looking gorgeous and saying how committed she was to her new future.

I still feel for her and wish her well but deep down I really hope the pair of them discover eternal pain and unhappiness.

 

He certainly isn't the most gifted of players but he's far from being a dosser. The lad never stops when he's on the pitch.

 

Hot on the heels of the new manager appointment we have the new scapegoat to fill the vacancy left by AOC.

 

A good listen from the new man.

 

Sure a few months back we was accusing the club of lacking ambition and not acting like a big club! Well does this not show ambition and having a big club mentality. we’re getting a manager who’s succeeded in every job he’s done. He took morecambe to the brink of automatic promotion on the smallest budget in the league! For once why don’t we give some credit to sparks for going out and getting the man he wanted! And all this talk of what if morecambe get promoted am sorry but managing a club like us or morecambe even in a league above, there’s no comparison! Get behind the club and give sparks some credit everyone makes bad decisions but least he’s had the balls to correct it

 

I think it speaks volumes that there is no comment at all from Morecambe. If we had just made an approach then I would have expected a hands off warning from Morecambe and a storm in the local press. I think we’ve done the deal for after the playoffs are over.

 

Frig off!

 

The statement said "the club is not seeking applicants."

To me, that doesn't imply that we were 'a bit close' to making an appointment, but rather the agreements had been made. Clearly that isn't the case with Wellens, therefore I'm happy to conclude he's not the person referred to when we sacked Trueman and Sellars.

 

They were even less amused when he became a panto dame

 

The difference a 2000 crowd makes is very significant when crowds do return as they will eventually. Morecambe will always have a small budget about half ours apparently and as I said despite the many negative posters on here there is huge potential at City. Despite your criticism of the owner I don’t see he is contributing less than Rhodes/Lawn who just relied on cup runs and player sales which is a policy which came off for them under Parkinson but not so much in Lawns first five years. Get the manager right as I feel we are about to with Adams, stop going back to reappointing McCall, and City could really take off

 

That would totally alienate the club from a lot of its fan base, just at the time you want to sell season tickets. Great idea........NOT!

 

Careful, you'll get splinters sitting on that fence....

 

Fat odious,repugnant,repulsive,misogynistic mouth breathing waste of oxygen with an equally annoying and tiresome assistant
Or promotion

 

Probably best to keep these kind of thoughts to yourself, m8.

Or write them in your diary....

 

Very good summary of the Rupp years at City.

We desperately need to make the right choice and get off the merry-go-round.
