It happens with players on a regular basis take Nahki as an example Dean Hoyle said openly they had been tracking him for 18 months, they would have been in touch with his agent or the player.

 

How recent, Wellens was still the Salford manager
Until 22 March 2021.

 

Derek Adams has a reputation for pragmatic rather than attractive football. But his win % as a manager, across clubs is 42.3%. That's excellent. for comparison;

Phil Parkinson = 36.94%
Wellens = 38.5%
Michael Flynn = 40.9%
Bowyer = 35.75
Grayson = 41.36%
Paul Cook = 42.6%

 

That buggers that idea up then.

 

I wouldn't take no notice of the bookies, i do find it odd theres no market for city managers though.

To me it seems really odd to sack some managers then offer them roles if someone isn’t already in the door. Taking a gamble on trying to get Adams has way too many risks. What happens if both adams and Morecambe want too much compo? Or adams deciding he wants to stay in L1, if they do of course.

for me it has to be wellens or tisdale. It would be poor by sparks if we sack them with a replacement in mind that we don’t already have.

 

Who ??

 

The reason there are no odds for City is they are not inviting applications, as far as Bookies are concerned, its a closed book

 

Mmmmmmmmmm?
Good shout though.

 

The fact that Sparks seems so confident about the appointment suggest that the manager is not in work but probably still under contract Wellens?

 

The lager up here is too cold and we make our curry too strong to entice a southerner like Jackett. He stayed south hoping for a bit part in the remake of the Bill.

 

Me too

 

I don’t think Wellens would have done much here tbh, he’s a modern manager who probably wouldn’t demand the changes needed an Adams will. It doesn’t mean Adams is right for the next 5-10 years but here and now many at the club need a rocket up their backside. As for Wellens he took a mid table team looking for the playoffs to looking like relegation fodder, someone was talking about how many sacking to promotions Adams has had the other day well far better ratio than Wellens. Nothing against the guy like what’s going on at Donny is none of our concern tbh, we need to just focus on our own failings not someone else’s. As you say it’ll take time, we’ve had 4 years of non stop regression and not even an admin to excuse it, there’s a while to go get before good times come back I feel.

 

Agree totally Wetherby. And tbh can't understand why our fans have spent so many posts discussing a manager who was never in the frame for the job here. Revel in his failure at Donnie if you like, But he was never coming to VP.
