Lets be frank most thought the club was doomed so what did he have to lose?
It's cost him £2 million to date you utter fuckwit. Hasn't the Reading branch of Lidl opened yet? You're supposed to be collecting the trolleys again this morning.

So what would you do if you were Dick Knight?

January has to be the last chance for Adams. He has to show his skill in the transfer window to create a team that will get us to mid table by the season end and which will be the basis of a promotiom winning side for next season.
If in mid February we are in the relegation slots then I hope he will have the good sense to walk and save us and him any further embarrassement.

Can we afford to let him have the transfer window?
Do we want him to be here after December?
Please clear out the whole coaching setup Mr Knight and admit a mistake was made and get some credibility back.

If I were chairman, I'd set up a board that did NOT consist merely of people who put money into the club.
That creates an imbalance, and a set of people with singular motives based on personal ambitions and 'financially distorted' outlooks.
I would ask Mr Adams to look in his mirror, and accept that the old success was of another day. That management of a league club is not what he's cut out to do any more. I'd ask if he would be prepared to assist the handling of the Brighton youth team, and perhaps do some scouting.
I would then call a Mr. DEAN WILKINS, and tell him that the existing board had their chips on the wrong card-hand, that they gambled, and lost. The loss will be pooled, and placed into the wage bill of whatever Mr Wilkins asked in order to come back to the club.
Obviously you won't agree with that Harty, but thanks for asking.

Knight has been ruthless in his firing before and if he did not sack Adams if we went down / looked like going down would lose credibility. I still think Adams would not be sacked if he went down but would probably walk.

I really hope you are wrong as the only reason not to sack Adams, if we went down, would be the size of the egos in the boardroom who cannot admit to an error, if the board became that distanced from the (majority of the) fans I'd worry for the future.
I fear that there are also some fans who'd still back Adams if we ended up in the Conference though.

It's gonna be hard for Harty to admit to changing his mind now whatever happens this season, he has made such a crusade of Adams being the right man for the job and slagged off fans who had the temerity to suggest that it was a f*** up after about 6 games. He's gonna stick by his very publicly stated opinion, whatever. Interesting listening to JB as he seems to be biting his tongue about what he actually thinks about Adams and it seems to be getting harder for him every game.

I don't see why it should be so hard. If he suggested that 6 games was too short a period to judge a new manager, I think most people would have sided with him. Like Harty I've always been a big supporter of Micky, but the facts don't lie and he doesn't give any impression of knowing how to turn the tide. Many of us have now lost the faith.

Rarely more ruthless, than when sacking DW.
Even MH was allowed to keep losing until he eventually stepped down himself and admitted he wasn't up to it.
McGhee was sacked by consensus of opinion from the stands, so DK was acceding to the howling from the gallery

I agree with Harty now is not the time to sack MA. I would give him the backing that he needs in January window to bring in the 2 or 3 quality players we need to change us from a poor side to one capable of winning this division next season, if not this. The only other action I would take is I would suggest that he has a serious look at his coaching and backroom staff pointing out that if they fail he fails.

All about opinions but I certainly don't want him spunking the money we may have when he doesn't seem to have a clue as to the demands of this division. He plays and signs shortarses and then complains the team are too small..WTF?
He has forgotten what makes a decent midfield at this level, plays players out of position and doesn't actually seem to have any sort of game plan in the games I've seen and you want to let him sign players permanently
I personally think he's trying to get his team to play football when his strength is teams that have in your face aggression and lump balls forward. If he went back to that dinosaour style of play we may actually survive as he hasn't a clue how to play tactical on the ground football...imo
