Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Idiots. Very foolish mistake that. Knows how to get teams promoted and who are they going to get any better.
ousefox Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Must be very dissapointing for Adams too, being a Sheff Utd fan too and leaving a team he was doing well with to go there. Don't know where he'll go from here.
ScouseFox Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Like us the season we went down. They might strike lucky and find their Pearson. Or they might not, and end up like Bradford/Wednesday/Charlton.
lcfcsnow Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Common sense, he's a poor manager and his teams are horrible to watch.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Common sense, he's a poor manager and his teams are horrible to watch. Well thats not true. Taking a team into the Premier whilst they are in admin, with a total of 92 points and losing just 6 all season isnt bad. He took Cov to 8th place in the Championship, then they sacked him the season after. They could only dream of 8th now. Completely turned Port Vale around and they were top when he left. Look at them now, they never recovered from losing him. The only place I can recall him doing badly is at Brighton second time around.
lcfcsnow Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 I recall him signing up a squad of past its in his 3rd season that took us 5 years to recover from.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 I recall him signing up a squad of past its in his 3rd season that took us 5 years to recover from. Do you also recall the fact we had absolutely no money due to being in admin less than a year before? Some of those 'past its', were good players. Ferdinand got player of the year that season, was he past it?!!? Its not liek we went down like Derby did a few years back with about 11 points, we put up a good fight and nearly did it. We could and probably should have even stayed up that season if it wasnt for last minute goals every other game. He did a great job on very limited resources. I'm not sure what you mean by '5 years to recover from'. When Adams left us we werent far from the PO's and since he left we gradually got worse and worse until we were relegated to the third tier. He did the best he could clearing up the mess that Taylor left us in, and how you can criticise him is beyond me.
ajthefox Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Disappointed for him and it may be a little harsh but I can understand why they've done it.

He was rightly sacked after fielding this team against QPR: K. Pressman, C. Makin, M. Keown, N. Dabizas, J. Wilcox, J. Scowcroft, S. Gemmill, L. Nalis, N. Blake, D. Dublin, D. Connolly.
Bugg Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Bad decision, If he was given a full pre season, no doubt they'd be back up there. He worked wonders at Port Vale before he left and with us whilst we were in admin.

Maybes Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Micky needs to re-double his efforts, find a smashing group of lads and simply keep the faith.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Port Vale players want him back there apparantly, wouldnt be surprised if he goes back there.
Corky Posted 10 May 2011 Posted 10 May 2011 Must've been a nightmare for him, with him supporting the club.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 11 May 2011 Posted 11 May 2011 @ Peterborough Fox - Adams left us fucked in the long-term, though. Average age of the squad must've been early thirties, late twenties at a push. You say he had 'no money,' but if you think the likes of Ferdinand, Howey (shudder), Keown, Deane etc were being paid peanuts, you're deluded.
Mack Posted 11 May 2011 Posted 11 May 2011 Makes no sense. They did the hard bit and stuck by him while losing game after game in the Championship, now he can actually build his own side in the summer they pull the rug. Silly in my opinion.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 11 May 2011 Posted 11 May 2011 Was doing really well at Port Vale to always thought he was a decent enough manager.
ajthefox Posted 11 May 2011 Posted 11 May 2011 Vale love him that much they've already offered him a 3 year deal... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/port_vale/9482906.stm

Yeah he did sign a lot of older players, but you dont get many decent young ones on free transfers lido you? Micky Adams did a good job on limited resources, clearing up the mess from previosu managers. The bootom line is if Taylor hadnt wasted so much money we wouldnt have got that far, and wouldnt be having this discussion.
