    I agree the club went on and on about youth development, then brought in a manager who is only bothered about results and not developing youngsters for profit. It’s the club who have yo-yo’d on this not Adams he’s just acting as he has at every club he’s been at. If they wanted someone who shared their vision(I’m still not sure what it actually is) they should have gone for a head coach rather than old school manager.

    Well I'm glad you know that's how it played out, that it was solely based on your inside knowledge that Crankshaw was 'not ready' and that it was nothing to do with inner disharmony as a result of shit performances, shit management on the pitch and a complete shitshow of the running of the club.

    It's not inside knowledge it's public knowledge that Adams doesn't think Crankshaw is ready you don't make the statements he's made if you're not sure

    Wigan took a punt on him and it wasn’t a success. Stockport were very keen on him before we nipped which suggests Stockport knew his position in the order of things. Personally I feel he may have been more suited to them in Jan but clearly had ambitions and who can blame him. At least he’s given it a go, good luck.

    What free agents are available who would improve the squad and haven't spent since the end of last season having not kicked a ball so will be nowhere near match fit (or fit in general, even PL level footballers with their resources can struggle to stay proper fit without all the training benefits being at a club bring.

    Mind you Jack Wilshere is a free agent, Arsenal have been letting him train with their teams and fits the Injury prone requirement for your lot lol

    I know your strikers are struggling to score but is a striker really what you need that much that sacrificing one of the few wingers you have makes sense?

    We can sign players out of contract or non league, Maybe a bid for Tashanga Kantashaminksi or whatever his name is at Chesterfield?

    Isn't Harriot facing a rape charge. I'm not sure he is the fee agent worth taking a punt on. And Boyd struggled at Salford

    I got a better one for you Oumar Niasse how about this for a wikipedia entry

    Huddersfield Town[edit]
    On 26 March 2021, after a period of training with the club, Niasse signed for EFL Championship side Huddersfield Town.[37] After injuring himself in training just after joining, he never made an appearance for the club and left when his contract expired in June 2021.

    Sounds ideal lol

    I wonder how many other members of the squad are casting an envious eye at Ollie? I can't blame him for getting out of this shambles of a club, after that totally uncalled for comment from Adams after the Crawley game. Some motivator, is Adams!

    He was a bit of a headless chicken and his deliveries often frustrated, but the timing has surprised me. Maybe its a case of one in one out. We may have a free agent striker lined up?

    Yeah sounds like Harriott wont be finding a club anytime soon. Boyd is past it now. As you said earlier with Wilshere and Arsenal, some free agents still train to keep fit with old clubs or old managers, like Scott Wagstaff, he's been training with Leyton Orient for a while, but doesn't look like they have any intention of offering him a deal.

    It's kind of slim picking for wingers, guys like Otis Khan who have been at Mansfield and Tranmere lately are still free and i'm fairly certain we were linked with him a year or two back, and i think he lives in Manchester. There's Paris Cowan-Hall who was good a few years back but had 2 awful injury hit years with Colchester. Viv Solomon-Otabor, 25 year old winger was at Wigan last season. Got promoted under Bowyer at B'pool a few years back, got 2 goals and 4 assists in 25 starts last season. Or a few sort of 19-22 age bracket guys who were in PL2/3 sides and released without a proper run of "mens" football, so nobody knows if they have anything good.

    It seems a bit like United getting Jose Mourinho. The Youth setup has always been an important thing at united, Fergie always gave them a chance, Moyes did and LVG certainly did and it looked like there was a really good bunch coming through. Then in came Jose froze most of them out and/or sold them, started chasing 30+ year olds with major injury issues. Even Adams man-management seems to be a bit Jose like, him throwing the players under the bus the way he did is the kind of thing jose does rather than understanding all the players and managing them as individuals in the way that will get the best results
