Would you sack adams and give wilkins the job back ?
When we sacked Wilkins I was appalled. It showed such shallow leadership that the Chairman was happier to side with a few disgruntled players than stick with an excellent coach who had given us 2 years of clear, tangible progress. But I wouldn't bring him back. I think any managerial project needs 18 months before you can make a decision. I would still give Adams until October next year, even if we are in League 2, to see whether this long term project we were all sold is good or an utter disaster. I know it doesn't look good so far, but some great managers have had poor starts to their tenure but been allowed to turn things around. I know it's been an awful season a Withdean, but we were sold a long term project, so I'm going to give it more time before I call for its termination.
Sack Adams by all means but bring in a new manager with new ideas to replace him, I liked Wilkins but it's bringing back an ex manager, thats dropped us in the shit in the first place.

So, risk heading down the league at a crucial time, to a very dangerous place to be (in our circumstances), just to see if a manager who has shown NO signs of turning anything around can work his arse out from his elbow?
Like hiring a blind chauffeur for another year to see if his driving improves after your last accident.
Easily the least sensible post so far.
