Adie Boothroyd

[priesty]

So, a couple of people are claiming to be in the know that Boothroyd is on his way brighton before new year.
Can anyone pour any light on these rumours?
I would say get him in asap and give him January to rebuild.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

He's going around the world to learn other sports, and he's going to Oz first to learn Aussie Rules.

 

[Gully]

He is a manager currently out of work, we have one who appears to have lost the backing of his players and the fans, it is obvious that the headline writers will start to put ink on paper:

Can former Hornet put the sting back into Brighton?

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Once he sold Marlon King he had Watford on worse form than we are at the moment...

 

[Trigger]

I think he's out of the question, he wont want to be a puppet for Dick Tight.

 

[Mendoza]

Ive heard rumblings about this too, but Boothroyd is a (more than Adams) long ball merchant that relied on Darius Henderson, so I dont know how much I would welcome the appointment.

But he is new, he is fresh, and he may adapt to new surroundings well instead of relying on past glories, in that respect, I would welcome him with open arms.

 

[strings]

I'm not too sure what to make of this. I think we need to stop changing our managers - which we do too often. However, I do also think that Adams needs to vastly improve, and I wouldn't give him any longer than until the end of Feb at the very latest.

 

[priesty]

can anyone expand on this?

ON THIS ?

 

[SNOOBS]

You want people to shed some light on a rumour thought of on here

 

[dougdeep]

I think he'd do a good job, he transformed Watford in his first couple of seasons.

 

[Jam The Man]

ON THIS ?

Sadly that made me laugh out loud!

hahahahahahahahahahaha! If there was any truth to this.... Micky would have already resigned. Don't you think people keep a eye on NSC?

We will be the last to know and that's the way it should be.

Oh My God - Micky Adams for Aidy Boothroyd? And most people on here were complaining about long-ball Adams..?

 

[crodonilson]

MA is the best man for the job.

If he were to walk away because of the sickening abuse he's getting from so called BHAFC supporters I'd like to see Steve Wigley or Brian Little with Guy Butters given the Assistant job.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Oh My God - Micky Adams for Aidy Boothroyd? And most people on here were complaining about long-ball Adams..?

But his long ball tactics actually work.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

But his long ball tactics actually work.

Hmmmmm...not sure about that...

They worked half of his tenure at Watford, the other half they were terrible. Admittedly a year of that was in the Prem, but still.

Before this rumour is completedly dismissed lets not forget the bold way inwhich Knight replaced Wilkins with Adams before before Wilkins even knew he was losing his job.

Now obviously paying Adams off is an issue but i get the impression that the new investors in the club carry a fair bit of weight and will not tolerate uner-acheivement for long.

It is perfectly plausible that Knight is looking at potential alternatives (and perhaps even had an informal chat with them). Thats not to say Adams will certainly be off but as with any under-performing organisation the board will pre-emptively look for solutions before it becomes too late.
