Micky Adams back as manager

[Stevie Boy]

Quality, wilkins out, yes, never wanted him in the 1st place, welcome back Micky

 

[BigGully]

I'm gonna take stock here.

First, this is a bolt from the blue. I don't know of anyone outside the club who saw this coming (doubtless some in the inner circle may have, but no-one even hinted at it).

Secondly, I don't think it's right to compare this situation with Alan Mullery's return. For a start, Micky is returning under the same chairman, something Mullery didn't do, and Micky will be given far more support from the board than Mullery was.

Thirdly, it says that Wilkins will stay on as First-Team Coach. That implies to me that he has (however reluctantly or however willingly) AGREED to this. The next few days will, I am sure, confirm this one way or the other.

Fourthly, Micky is a good manager who had one dynamite asset to his name - Bobby Zamora. Now that combination is not here, expectations ought not to be so high.

I must admit I am scratching my head about this one a bit, and doubtless there will be further explanations. For now, what I would say is - irrespective of whether I think this appointment will work (I suspect on balance it will) - welcome back Micky, and for what it's worth, you have my unqualified support.

A couple of your assertions are incorrect, I suspect that outside of the Boardroom, no-one knew.

It looks certain that Wilkins might leave.

I believe the decision was taken MONTHS ago. But it was deferred because the team was getting results and DK didn't want to rock that boat.

So what are Dick's issues with Dean Wilkins?

I've checked everywhere-it is definitely NOT April 1st. Has the official site been hacked?

I wonder therefore a) whether Dean Wilkins has known for sometime and b) whether Micky had some input about the recent release of players - despite Dean figureheading that

Which assertions are factually wrong?

 

[Rookie]

now on the argus website and the bottom bit is interesting Wilkins didn't know, very shoddy treatment

 

[Brighton Breezy]

We came SEVENTH and we get rid of the manager? MADNESS

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Has DK seen something he didn't like in Wendy's man management?

Yes.

But it wasn't the events of the last week that sparked this explosion.

 

[BigGully]

I think it depends. If DK was had been planning this then there's no way he would have let Wendy bin 10 players.

Could it be because of the way he binned them. Has DK seen something he didn't like in Wendy's man management?

That hasn't really answered the question has it!

Wilkins decision on those players, definately.

not unless the argus and sky sports news has been hacked too

 

[Uncle Buck]

Time for Knight to go and take the Blooms with him. Too much interference on the playing side, telling players they will not play again. Now changing the coaching staff on a whim and he has still not delivered a ground.

Out of touch and mostly out of the country.

Totally agree. What a load of SHIT.

 

[Billy the Fish]

I've got very mixed feelings about this. It's very strange timing, just when Deano looked like he was building a decent squad. It's too much to take in, especially at this time of night. I'm going to have to take a bluey just to get to sleep now

 

[Race]

Can I ask again....whose decision was it to get rid of the 10 players?

I reckon DK and MA! This has been rumoured since Xmas...........

Who changed my subject text and moved the thread -Mods Out

I've got a sticky oh...

 

[El Presidente]

Yes.

But it wasn't the events of the last week that sparked this explosion.

Ooh you are a tease. Spill the

Was O'Callaghan hinting at that in the Boxing Day interview...I do seem to remember he said things going on beyond the managers control..

 

[Burgess Hill Seagulls]

Welcome back Micky, however fair on unfair it is on Wilkins I think we can all agree that Adams is a complete legend!:yahoo:
