Wellans

Many fans choice for our gig has had a nightmare start to his role at Donny. 4 points from 9 games, thrashed 6-0 at Ipswich last night and propping up the Ieague. He must be on borrowed time already you would think.

 

Being a football manager as we know carries an element of luck, very few managers have sucsess through out their managerial caree.
Sir Alex was a game or so away from the sack when they beat Oxford in the Leage Cup, @SimonW will correct me if I'm wrong.
Sometimes the new club is a good fit but eventually managers get the sack, let's hope Adams brings us a little sucsess before he goes.

 

Dead right Dave..nothing permanent in football!

 

Bradford City nil is looking pretty nailed on permanent atm....

 

There was only one bloke I'd have gone for and that was Kenny Jackett.

Good bloke and an even better manager.

 

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.

 

Sounded like he’s pleading for his job in YPost today. Got a meeting with the Chairman and CEO later, watch this space, could be second sacking in less than a year.

 

I personally didn't get the clamour from some fans that we ought to be approaching him on the summer. Still glad we went with my first choice in Adams

 

Me too

 

Yeh cos Adams is currently ripping it up here....

 

Patience my friend.

 

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.

 

Don’t forget he was sacked at Salford in quick time. Saw him on Look North last night, nice talk but had the look of the condemned man.
Yes it is nothing to do with us but plenty on here wanted him. I was at the Salford game which was his first home game and with no crowd all I heard was a foul mouthed 90 minute rant at his players, little wonder he didn’t get the results to keep his job and only lasted months.

 

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.
