Adams took over a reasonable team last year which only really needed 2 or 3 players to strengthen it and he managed to completly turn us into shit!!!!
He didnt leave us in the shit ,he gave the club plenty of time to find a manager.......DK just didnt manage to find one until Coppell came along.
Agree US ... but perhaps not quite as good as the original Peter Taylor

Blimey, where have you been?
In terms of entertainment Mark 1 would win hands down but he did have some of our best ever lower league players to choose from, although we only ever really performed at home from memory. As a tactician it would be much closer
Corked wine, sluggish pound, global warming, Gordon Smith's miss, lost car keys, Malcolm MacDonald's sideburns, Trevor Jordache, the smell of bitter garlic, James Blunt, Lulu the elephant pissing on the Blue Peter studio floor, Geoff Thomas' two left feet, the Cutty Sark fire, the oppression of the Aborigines, Anne Widdecombe's moustache, two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude, the OPEC cartel, freshly-laid dogshit on the pavement, the punctuality and comfort of First Capital Connect trains, Elizabeth Duke bling, the cancellation of the Beachdown Festival, the concept of childish sarcasm, the weather on Bank Holiday weekends, Keith Moon's fatal overdose, the closure of Sporting Colours, broccoli...
... all Peter Taylor's fault.
I don't really have an opinion on Peter Taylor so I'll politely clap for the simple reason that I think booing former managers/players is pretty childish.

The only word I can use to describe my feelings on the matter in INCENSED!
Yes, Taylor did a pretty good job, we played good football and we got promoted.
He did inherit a very very good side who more than likely would have been promoted under a different and reasonably good manager.
I liked him when he was here, and had no problem with him at all... and I firmly believe that with him as manager the following season we would have done so much better...
BUT - he walked out, had nothing to go to, and to cite the reason being the stadium/facilities - well frankly all the players should have said well **** it, the club is going nowhere, we should all leave too, and while we are at it, should us fans have given up on the club too?
Thats the point - HE GAVE UP ON US
He didnt go to a higher challenge at a better club, he just walked away and gave up.
He shirked the challenge - getting us up that season was a challenge, yes, but not a big one. Keeping us up would have been a great challenge which he would have been capable of achieving. (Lets be frank here, McGhee managed it later on with a worse side!)
I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to clap a man for giving up on the team i love.
