Mickey Adams - where do you stand

[Finchley Seagull]

I am torn between Adams in dependent on Christmas position and at the end of the season. I was really pleased when he came back and want to give him time. However, if we are still playing like this in the build up to Christmas, then it would be tempting to say we need a change, especially if we are in the relegation zone. I certainly wouldn't wait until after the transfer window as a new manager has no chance to change things then so it is either in the build up to Christmas or at the end of the season he should be judged.

Not playing Virgo on the wing would be a start!

 

[Seagull73]

Can we have Coppell back then please.

The reality is if Adams were to go, Chairman Knight would have to look at his position due to the Knight of the Long Knives, but Knight is unlikely to do that, so unless we manage to relegate ourselves, Adams is fairly safe.

Kinght is not going to look at his own position until Falmer is built or he's six-foot under, whichever comes first.

But if Adams fails, Knight really should go with him, however I am sure he will pass Adams off as a board decision, but if it works out he pass it off as his decision.

Adams won't fail.

 

[Simster]

How long ago was that now? Oh, and more recently, didn't he manage one of the biggest clubs in League One, and fail to get them promotion?? That might have even been behind us, but yeah, I'll continue to be a twat about it.

I'm asking the question, because it's f***ing ridiculous that people are even talking about replacing Adams, it's mind-blowing how dumb some of our fans are (that's not directly aimed at you btw).

Oh DO f*** off - YES it WAS aimed directly at me. You asked me for MY suggestion, then belittled it on the basis that Wilson hasn't won promotion from the third division, despite having done so at a higher level. Now you're back tracking because you look like a complete plum.

And all this shit about people wanting Adams replaced, so far 32 people have voted on this poll and getting rid of him now has precisely ONE vote, so once again you're talking out of your arse.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Assuming that happened, I'd probably want Danny Wilson.

I have seen him mentioned a few times but he is at Hartlepool and we have never taken a manager from another team. I would choose Billy Davies if forced as he was harshly treated (at least from an outsider's perspective) at Derby but would he want to come?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Ok. I actually think the squad is pretty decent. .

Indeed it is, which makes his inability to do anything with it, all the more frustrating.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Adams won't fail.

Well he is not succeeding at present and his last significant contribution to football management was getting Leicester relegated in 2004.

Adams has won promotion at a higher level, but that's not good enough for you is it? I'm not back tracking on anything, I asked the question because you seem hell bent on believing that Adams isn't going to be good enough, and that he will fail.

And that's only 1 person that doesn't have a sense of perspective thank f***.

Change the record for f***'s sake.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Change the record for f***'s sake.

Why? Because you do not like what others say because it does not fall into line with what you blindly think.

 

[Seagull73]

Why? Because you do not like what others say because it does not fall into line with what you blindly think.

Oh yeah, I have no right to believe the manager will turn things round do I?

Wow, you're such a rebel aren't you?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I still want Mickey here, but if the football we're still producing and results at home don't improve I will slide to Adams Out!

 

[Uncle Buck]

Oh yeah, I have no right to believe the manager will turn things round do I?

Wow, you're such a rebel aren't you?

Not in the slightest. I hope he does suceed, I do not want his first spell being tarnished by failure. However at present he is showing little in the way of being able to turn the team around.

He was always going to be scrutinised by some due to the way he replaced the previous manager, not his fault, that was the board's doing.

However you are being extremly objectionable on the subject, rather than discussing what others might have to say, you are going for belittling or dismisiveness and it is just not working.

Still do carry on.

eh?

You're the one telling people to "change the record" and how "unbelievably dumb" they are.

I think on the whole he has been quite lucky so far. I am a big fan of Adams (his first spell in charge was the first real success I had seen) and on the whole I am against changing the manager a lot. His history with the club may have given him a bit more time in many people's eyes and there have not been any calls for him to go yet at matches.

However, some of his tactics have made me despair so far. I thought Hawkins looked good initially but twice he has brought him back from injury too soon (once after Virgo had a great game against Man City). His decision to move Virgs around and now play him on the right wing is not working and I cannot believe he ever thought it would. The worry is with a difficult run coming up we could be in the bottom four next month and if the team is still playing like this, sadly I think there may be no choice.

Really hoping that doesn't happen though and Micky turns us around, starting with tonight.

I'm being extremely objectionable because I can't believe that we are 11 games into a season, and people are questioning the managers position - AGAIN.

You would've thought that last season and the whole Wilkins saga would've made people understand that this can be so counter-productive. Scrutiny, yeah I can go along with that, but this isn't scrutiny, this is witch-hunting - AGAIN.

It's a forum, I get that, but why is it this board seems hell-bent on undermining the manager at every opportunity, it beggers belief.

 

[Brovion]

Sorry Sim, but NONE of those options reflect my viewpoint. I'd like to tick;

"Adams IN, because sacking another manager would be expensive and counter-productive, but please could he sort out the rubbish tactics / selections / substitutions"

Yeah, mine would be similar:

"Adams IN. Even though I was opposed to his appointment and the way it came about sacking him now would be premature, expensive and make us look even more of a noddy club run by a load of headless chickens."

Me neither, but people will continue to do so unfortunately.

Mmm, I've just wondered why you kept going on the other thread, I should take a leaf shouldn't I?
