hmm ok then
How very CHILDISH of you to think we could finish higher than last season. Anyone would have thought Adams came here to get us relegated!
sorry for not being more concise for you. well aware of his length of time in charge! my point was based on a previous post asking for a season to judge MA.
the facts are, DW took us to 7th then was sacked, yes you are right for no apparent reason. and i dont know why either. whats your point? it depends on who you want to listen to as to why. personally i think he was treated like shit!
had MA finished 7th and was sacked, it would have been the greatest crime known to humanity!!

Not only are you unable to spell, use capital letters, or even make sense, but you can't count either.

The whole "he needs to be given time" cliche has to be viewed in the light of the state on the squad when getting the job.
Wilkins left the club in a good state with some decent players, a degree of confidence. Therefore Adams, I would venture, doesn't need a lot of time to improve on what he had. Someone taking over the Newcastle job, on the other hand, needs the minimum of a full season.
Given that we were in a decent state to start with I'd turn the debate around by stating that by giving Adams much more time he could actually kill what Wilkins had created entirely.

At the time of your post only 47.25% were behind him.

The outs represent about .64% of a 5,000 crowd and if you include theo others except the ins it represents approx.93% of a 5,000 crowd hardly an overwhelming majority of votes giving an opinion.

You are stating that those who want Adams out know less about football than you, which is a pretty bold, arrogant and pompous statement, imo.

No I am not using myself as a yard stick just saying that in my opinion people who suggest he should or even could be sacked do not have a full understanding of the situation and are just showing a knee jerk reaction to us being in the middle of a bad spell.

Fair enough, so what is the situation in your opinion? I can take losing but am very worried that Adams is being found out by more astute managers and opposition players with more desire and passion than ours. It's not as though we've just been unlucky this year is it, it runs deeper than that and imo there is something very wrong in the set up at this club at the moment
You could also say that people like Bensgrandad knows nothing about football too because he couldn't wait untill Wilkins was sacked.He never gave the bloke a fair crack at management.Now he has got what he deserves in a rubbish,out of date,negative manager.
Well done BG,we sack a promising young manager for an old has been.It's you who knows sod all about football.

Middle of a bad spell? We have 2 strikers at this club, and one of those is in his mid-30s. From where I'm looking I think Adams serious thought Virgo and Hart would be 2 striking options, which they're clearly not.

Starting to lose a bit of faith now as falling way too far behind 6th place.
I think promotion is not on the cards this season when the squad we have (apart from another quality striker) should have had us up there in the top 6.
Can see us finishing about 10th - 12th

well adams should of got another striker or two before the season started that he would actully play and not keep the likes of robinson keeping the bench warm for no reason. 2 months of bad football and one lucky win in the cup are not enough to keep you in a job.

Well I am one of those and I think you are deluded. All the pro Adams stuff is "give it time" , "he's done it before" and most annoyingly "keep the faith" none of which is based on superior football knowledge. I prefer the evidence of my own eyes. And before anyone asks - I have been to most games home and away, even the JPT.
