No one wanted to see Adams fail, but some of you were taking the phrase "Blind Faith" to another level. Knight is responsible for this mess, and now he's got to go out and get a top notch manager, to redeem himself
Hopefully this will be a blessing .
C'mon Albion 3 points today !!!

Micky was a shadow of his former managerial self this time around. Never go back.
It's a shame that it turned out this way, but with the threat of relegation looming, it was absolutely the correct decision.
A fresh start is needed.

The players? They'll probably be gutted he's gone, especially the new players. Most, if not all, of them came here mainly because of him.

Do you not remember he was poor first season first time around?

Sorry mate I dont agree. Adams took the team from 7th to the relegation zone. That, when he prides his football as been "effective football".
Sadly MA thinks hoofing it is effective. He is wrong, hence the Graham Taylors of this world are all pundits instead of managers.
Its good for not only the albion that a hoofing manager has gone, but good for english football as well. Bring in someone with a brain - if there is such a thing in english footbal !l
Oh and can someone send the new manager a copy of the book "inverting the pyramid"!
Paul Ince?
Agree.
I did not think we should have got rid of Wilkins but equally was not unhappy at Adams appointment. However, he has failed to live up to expectation and sadly doesn't even seem passionate about the plight we are in. Unfortunately who ever does get the poisoned challis will probably also suffer at the hands of the most vitriolic posters on this site.

Abort, retry, fail
We are the last to hear. I suspect the players and staff knew about this before this morning.

And the children of Mile Oak. I'm feeling their pain most at this juncture.
Will their misery never end? Won't somebody please think of the children and STOP THIS MADNESS?

Not as poor as he's been this season. Think we only touched as low as 16/17th that season.

Don't know about you but I've been touching cloth since about November with the way Micky's had the Albion playing.
he should have gone months ago, so yeah the timing is bad. but i think we've a better chance of picking up points today without him in charge, so this morning made more sense than early next week.
anybody saying things like 'the adams out lot hounded him out of the club' are just plain wrong... or perhaps they don't actually attend the matches. yes the team was booed a few times but overall, the fans have been very measured and reserved whilst putting up with terrible terrible losing football week in week out. were people chanting 'adams out' and displaying banners? No. I would argue that he's been given a very easy ride, if an unknown manager had come in and made the mistakes adams did, every bloomin week, then he'd have got loads of vitriolic abuse. adams didn't. he's been given every chance and been found wanting.
he's not been hounded out by the fans. we've been silent onlookers as he's dug his own grave.

I doubt it.
They may get to play under a manager who knows what they are doing
was interesting forster didn't come out with support for adams this week.
Knight was a legend but he has left Stevie Wonder (White) & Ray Charles (Booker) in charge for two massive games. The blind lead the blind!!!!!!!!
You spout drivel.
You have applauded the sacking of Wilkins, why ?
You have slagged off the introduction of the local players that have been given the opportunity and delivered a 7th finish, why ?
Then you applauded Adams re-appointment as many did, but why ?
You seem not to connect any logic to your views other than 'I Like That One' and 'I Dont Like That One' !!
Now it seem's you dont like Booker and White, why ?
Anyhow its Adie Boothroyd that you gonna have to wrestle with the 'I Like That One' or 'I Dont Like That One'.

From what I've seen Boothyroyd is a good manager, so perhaps wouldn't mind him.

The difference is that we were never in danger of going down that season.
There......... so at least you will enjoy the appointment.

On the face of it, the timing is awful. But after Tuesday, how long did it take to convene all the key players in the decision? the days of it being Knight, Chapman and Bloom only are over and I would suspect the shareholders may also have been consulted.
Once the decision was made, they may have felt there is no point leaving it until after the next game (i.e. Today) - what would have happened if we had won?
I do sincerely hope the new man is known before Tuesday. Sadly Big Gully, I think most fans play the 'i like them' game. In my view White has been around with so many managers without seeming (from a fans view) to change his style. Booker meanwhile was removed from the club once when no longer seeming to be up to the job - he's come back and the only noticeable thing he has done is dress up as a fake car park attendant to greet Robbie Savage. However, the main reason I would make a clean sweep is that the club externally perhaps, needs to be seen as making a sea change in our approach. I personally would have put Hinshelwood and Lloyd or even Rodgers and Oatway in charge today (yes I know Charlie is probably playing elsewhere today but you get my drift) - I dont think it will make any difference.
Boothroyd has a good reputation as a coach and had a couple of great seasons as watford. Fingers crossed the crowd give him a chance
