He wouldn’t be my first choice, but we don’t really know who’s interested or how ‘ambitious’ we’re going to be this summer. If we assume that we’re not going to push the boat out, he’s probably the best bet. He’s proven across more than one club, so if we go for him we’re going to have to give him time, even if we’re drifting in mid table come January or February.
I don’t think his football is as bad as some make out - I think he just works with what he’s got.

If it is Adams I hope Sparks has a plan for if we get to League One as he doesn't seem to either be suited to or even want to manage in that division.

Wellens confirmed at Donny so it's now down to Adams and the rumoured Parkinson return.

The more I think about this, the more I think appointing Adams is going to end in tears. City couldn’t recruit decent players if their lives depended on it. There’s a massive rebuilding job to be done, so we’ll spend have the season ‘gelling’ because we ‘didn’t have a proper preseason’ and the budget is based on piss poor season tickets blamed entirely on Covid, mid table in January will bring calls for ‘stability l’ and ‘sacking all the last managers’ didn’t work before he inevitably goes in December 2022 because the football is as dull as fuck and we keep losing 1-0 because the centre halves keep standing off the opposition and the centre forward is pissing about on the wing. Meanwhile the fans are shouting for 442 and saying we should be thankful for Rupp and Sparks.

Meanwhile the fans are shouting for 442 and saying we should be thankful for Rupp and Sparks. Agreed. As good as his record is I can’t shake the feeling that we’re failing to change direction again. There’s a strong chance that we’re about to repeat the process we’ve been repeating for two decades now. It can’t be overestimated the credit that trying to play good football would buy. People won’t have the patience to watch shit football unless it brings quick success. The fans are bored shitless and would settle for a few good performances a season as signs of improvement right now. All we had to do was go for somebody who at least had a reputation for playing attacking football and fans would be a lot more lenient if it didn’t appear straight away. Of course all of this is redundant if we hit the ground running but that’s all the hope the club have got to hang onto now.

McCall tried to play good football. But he wasn't very good at it. Combined with, we were unable to sign the right players. And he was a club legend - his credit still didn't last that long.
More than anything, people are tired of this dog shit league. Honestly, if we were even remotely capable of organizing ourselves, we'd piss this league.

Honestly, if we were even remotely capable of organizing ourselves, we'd piss this league. the fan base gets younger by the year and losing to the likes of Harrogate, Barrow, Crawleys is getting less tolerable by the year. The young generation have tasted some success now with the cup runs and the nearly season under Stuart and they want more, not playing shite football whilst losing to small clubs with their history being in the non league. I'm in the middle with Adams, he's got success but it has alot of potential to be another Bowyer.

I’ve been wanking myself off for 48 consecutive hours to see if the thought of adams can raise even a semi on.
Result - it did not and my foreskin is raw.
Meh.

Sparks saying the new manager did the released list.
Either Morecambe are taking the piss out of themselves by allowing it or we're doing some dodgy tapping up. Provided it is Adams of course.

Could be Parky although surely he'd be named already.

No way would Adams have done the released list whilst he's got his club and the play offs to think about. Unless of course Ryan is talking shit yet again.

As for good football, the only good football is winning football. I'm biased because I love a dirty cynical clogging team, Man City's rotational fouling is a joy to watch, but I want to see us win. I don't care if we win with sexy football or with Parkyball. I'm just unsure about Adams, I think we'd be getting another Peter Taylor or BowyerS.

If it’s Adams and he’s done the released list for us while under contract at Morecambe then he’s surely in the shit contractually. That is unless he’s negotiated a contract that makes him pretty much a free agent before it ends and whoever heard of one of those?
Even if all that is the case then at the very least his reputation will take a bit of a hit in Morecambe and maybe beyond. If he is currently working for two clubs and he fails to get Morecambe up then he’ll inevitably have to answer questions as to whether or not running City’s transfers policy and contract renewals affected his preparation for the play offs and he’d have a hard time arguing it didn’t.
It’s all a bit curious.

It’s all a bit curious. This is what's giving me nagging doubts about if it's Adams. If he did to the retained list while employed by someone else Ryan has dropped him right in it. And us if they were to pursue a tapping up claim. This is why I'm thinking Parky announced coincidentally when the ST go on sale.

Where did you get it from? Anyone reliable? I've heard it from 3 people now who have varying degrees of reliability. Nothing concrete just that they've heard pp was in the frame.
