Quote from Adams today....

[Knotty]

Why not; like Curry's, BHA is a business and the management/staff performance should be measured against agreed objectives shouldn't they?

But you can't compare a football team with a fridge.

If the fridge is in stock and the lorry is driveable, it can be delivered on the promised day.

Football results are based on a much more complex series of criteria. Players and managers are human beings, not machines. They want to deliver but there are so many factors involved, including the opposition and how they play on the day, good luck, bad luck and, yes, mistakes. No-one knows when any of these things is going to happen and to what extent.

So setting delivery timescales would, to me, be at best pure guesswork and at worst irresponsible.

Who are these fuckwits? Booing at a match does not translate to "bring me the managers head on a platter".

Does shouting "Just f*** off Adams" count?

 

[Elder for England]

Who's calling for his head? I think I have seen one post on here suggesting he should go (WW I think). People on here have questioned some of the things going on, but calling for his head after nine games? Do give us some credit.

Is this a joke?

 

[BigGully]

Yes, but do you honestly expect the staff and management of Currys to discuss their objectives with customers?

But they do to their shareholders, dont they ?

Which in turn is common knowledge.

 

[Perry Milkins]

Given that he did not face the radio interview on Saturday and now chooses to be 'flippant' about our league position and his targets - I think he is getting pee'd off with the fans.

I recall in his previous tenure he lost his rag after a defaet at home to Kidderminster...

 

[Napper]

don't need to be 7th by october but do need to remain in touch

I`ve just booked a 3-1 for the Albion to be delivered to us in the next 14 days.

See it can be done.

This is the Adams I want back, Brash, Cocky and Full of himself. Welcome back Micky

It wasn't long ago people were complaining that Micky was to quiet and not his old self. Now one throw away comment in the press and people get on his back!

Knight knew what he was getting when he reappointed him, and he is seemingly the one reason why most of our recent signings have joined the club. You win f*** all in Autumn and things were not great this stage last time round under Adams, but he turned it round then.

Start criticising in Spring if we are in the same position

On an individual basis? Don't be stupid.

I've booked one too! Wonder how many are left in stock? Loads I hope!

That's one indvidual, who was probably somewhat pissed off by one of the recent home performances. It's hardly a thousand people staying behind after the final whistle to vent their spleen is it?

Only if it's a public company.

There are loads of people saying it, at games and on here!

If enough book it we get a 1-1 away draw thrown in as well.

Not the point. There have been enough people venting, criticising, bitching and moaning on here already. It is 9 games in. Get some f***ing perspective.

Que

Whats on an individual basis ?

I know that crowds are down, but individual basis !!

 

[Don Tmatter]

Which fans were demanding we are above 7th in October? It's May we need to be above 7th.
Actions speak louder than words Mick

Yes, but do you honestly expect the staff and management of Currys to discuss their objectives with customers?

Many companies in the services sector work closely with their customers to create a partnership with shared interests and objectives. It shouldn't really be too different in the context of a football club - after all, we all want the same thing. In both areas there are also people whose expectations are greater or lesser than others. Those with higher expectations are usually the first to complain when things don't go well.

The tipping point comes when there is a general view that the objectives aren't being met. We haven't reached that yet, but if this slide down the league continues it might not be much longer. At the moment it's our cup success and away form that's keeping us in credit - but that may have changed by Sunday.

But hold on here.

I accept, there are many many points to play for and some have been totally undewhelmed by our previous performances.

But before you lambast these people, you must acknowledge that Adams himself shares that view.

He is looking for more players and the board is backing him with real funds, why ?

Because he knows that what he had thought would pan out at the beginning of the season hasnt happened and without further talent he cannot see any likely improvement on last season.

Some are only sharing a view that is also held within the club.

It is the point, your point in fact. Your implying that there are a load of people calling for MA's head. I'm suggesting that that isn't the case. People are merely frustrated by some of the performances and decisions and voicing their opinions, not calling for the managers head... so get some f***ing perspective yourself.
