lookwhaticando Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Press conference at 11am at the Ricoh. Adams seems resigned to losing his job, though he's not resigning. I guess it won't be a Micky Adams resignation out there this morning. The Guardian has revealed the board meeting planned for this morning at 11am. Micky Adams will learn this morning whether he has held on to his position as Coventry City manager when the Championship club hold a board meeting at 11am. Adams reiterated last night that he would not be resigning in the wake of a humiliating FA Cup defeat at home to Bristol City but said, tellingly, that "all will be revealed". His future has been in doubt for several weeks amid a dreadful run of results and this chastening defeat is likely to seal his fate. Guardian I will not quit Coventry - Adams @ the BBC. I beg the Coventry board to do me a favour, and appoint Iain Dowie. Thank You. Discuss the latest Mickeh Adams situation in here - the official Mickeh Adams sacking thread.

hairy Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 It was only last season he was a hero there. Shame because they were never going to be anything more than average under him.

IDEA OR IKEA Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Nightmare situation - Headline in Newspaper reveals "Sacked Ex Leicester Manager heading back to City" I read the article hoping to see the return of MoN.... but its MA NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Bring him back and Scowcroft
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Bring him back and Scowcroft Don't forget Trev, with him and MDV up front we'll win the Prem in a couple of years.
MC Prussian Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Don't forget Trev, with him and MDV up front we'll win the Prem in a couple of years. And while we're already at it, Collymore comes back out of retirement and bangs us to the top of the table.
Suffolk_fox Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Don't forget Trev, with him and MDV up front we'll win the Prem in a couple of years. Joking apart, there was an article in one of the papers the other day (link) where he sounded quite in fear for his job... I apologise if this has been covered already, I did do a quick search...
Bilko Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Sky just confirmed Mickey Adams has left. Shame as although we would never want Cov to do well he is a top man and an honourable man. Hope he finds another opportunity soon, good luck Mickey.
MC Prussian Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 It's official: Boss Adams leaves Coventry post Micky Adams Adams apologised to the Coventry fans Coventry boss Micky Adams has left the club in the wake of the FA Cup defeat at home to Bristol City. Adams' fate was sealed at a board meeting held at the Ricoh Arena after a dismal sequence of results. Coventry have not won in eight games, and managing director Paul Fletcher delivered an ominous message after the FA Cup third round replay loss. He said:"Micky Adams is an absolutely lovely guy but it just isn't working for him at present." Fletcher added: "He is not getting results and that is what he is paid to do. We are all answerable at the end of the day." Coventry's recent slump started with a 5-0 demolition by West Brom and they have earned just one point from their last six league games.
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 He sounded on Skysports news like he had taken a bit of a verbal pounding from the board. I feel sorry for him though actually, he did an okay job.

I feel sorry for him though actually, he did an okay job. Not really, they are in the middle of a 3 year plan to get in to the premiership. They had actually spent a fair amount of money. Ultimately he's achieved very little.

Ultimately he's achieved very little. Hardly surprising. He is a nice bloke but tactically inept. Should never be allowed near another Coca Cola league club (except maybe Forest!)

Geo V Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Its never nice to wish someone to lose there job, but I am happy that MA is going through the mill. Sadistic? Maybe. Tiem to open a beer
AyewJoking Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 So he wasnt sacked (jumped before he was pushed)?
Milky Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 The question is, after rejecting Hull, will Dowie take this one on?
Suffolk_fox Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Derby. Loving that thought... Good Morning to you Luckydo!
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 So he wasnt sacked (jumped before he was pushed)? are coventry fans still bloating about how they are going up this year???.......enjoy the silence
Wils Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 The question is, after rejecting Hull, will Dowie take this one on? Could do...lets hope he does and that he makes a hash of it.
FNQ Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 I know how predictable it is that FNQ is replying to this thread, and FNQ is genuinely quite sorry. FNQ wishes he could resist. BUT...I can not believe this news. I’m not particularly disappointed because I hold as much animosity towards Coventry City as the next man. But surely Micky has done another terrific job. He took over the club who were relegation favourites (if not certainties), and has turned them into an outfit capable of flirting with the playoffs. Which is exactly what they've been doing for most of his tenure. What more did they want FFS? (And more importantly, what more did we want FFS!?). His career has certainly lost its momentum. Fulham<Brentford<Brighton<Leicester>Coventry>Unemployed. And no doubt he'll be out of the game for a period and return to League 1 or even the managerial graveyard that is League 2 (name me 5 FL2 managers). I think it's so sad that a talent of his quality is going to waste. Especially as he was our talent!

On the other (more realistic) hand... if you don't know where he's going to be every day, it's going to become increasingly difficult to stalk him.
