All Hail Micky Adams - He's Helped Us Out!

[GUNTER]

From today's Argus.

Micky Adams today revealed he had turned down a better offer from a third division club so that Trevor Benjamin could join the Albion on loan.

Mark McGhee told the Argus that Adams had "bent over backwards" to make the deal happen.

Adams said "Mansfield came in for Trevor on loan as well and we could have got more money off them but the persuasive tongue of Dick Knight persuaded me to help my old club out"

"On the financial side, I have done them a favour, that is what friends are for. It goes without saying I want Brighton to do well"

"We need to get Trevor out playing games. He's been at other clubs that havent really suited him but I know people will look after him and do the right things".



I would read into that Leicester are probably subsidising his wages. Well done Micky, I hope Leicester stay up - you are a true Albion legend!

 

[Everest]

If true, well done MA.

"the persuasive tongue of Dick Knight persuaded me to help my old club out"

Blimey, I didn't realise they were THAT close.

Micky Adams = f***ing legend

MICKEY......

 

[Hamilton]

My initial reaction is 'brilliant', but what has he been like at other clubs?

Let's hope he can get out there and help with Leon to score a shit-load of goals.

 

[Trotster]

Well done Mickey - see, SOME managers are still loyal

 

[Zeitgeist]

Great news. Without doubt imo, the greatest Albion manager of all time.

Micky Adams will always have a bit of blue and white in him. He hasn't forgotten the club that helped elevate him to becoming the hottest young English mangerial prospect in the country. Great things are ahead for Micky, it's refreshing to see that he hasn't forgotten us.

Micky is a man of class. Not like that bag of shit Steve Coppout, who nobody likes, apart from disillusioned Palarse fans.

Micky TOP MAN !!

 

[Yorkie]

I'll never forget him coming across to applaud the Brighton fans at the Crisp Bowl despite his own team just winning promotion.

He still loves us.

Er, Micky aside, did anybody else notice that it said Leicester could have got more money from Mansfield than from us?

That's Mansfield Town, of the third division, folks, and they have more money to offer players than we do.

Oh dear....you just gotta laugh, haven't you?

 

[JJ McClure]

Cheers Micky you star!
Any chance of sending down Paul Brooker, Craig Hignett, Steve Howey, and Junior Lewis while you're at it

I did notice but thought that I'd leave that to the likes of Ernest and FG. They'll jump on that soon enough.

 

[Trigger]

Great stuff Micky, ohhhhh i could kiss you!

It is a bit worrying that teams like Mansfield can offer more money than us though but like Yorkie says, lets leave that to FG and co...

 

[Richy_Seagull]

What a legend

 

[Lush]

Although.... it is in MA's interest that Benjamin goes somewhere that he's happy, because then he can off-load him sooner and free up some cash at Leicester.

And there's probably more chance of that happening in a nice friendly just about solvent club in a fabulous part of the country and who are about to get a spanking new stadium than at ...er...third division Mansfield.

Micky Adams = f***ing legend

That about sums it up! Nuff said!

 

[Yorkie]

I love the quote

'He's been at other clubs that havent really suited him but I know people will look after him and do the right things.'

He obviously trusts us and it would seem that other clubs don't know how to get the best out of players. Micky knows that Bob Booker will treat him right.

It would also explain why he has scored at some clubs but not at others.

Cheers Micky!
