That was worrying. Obviously promotion by any means should be the aim but I’ve got no stomach for any more shit football. It’s League 2. It’s all shit football. Yeh, I know, it’s just that we’ve had such a succession of defensive, anti-football managers that I’d love to see us play a bit of balls out football for a change. Even relative to the level.

I hear you. Kenny Jackett would've been a good choice, and I can see the Adams thing going tits up before its even started, as in, its one thing to say 'I'll come whether Morecambe go up or not', its another to actually come here on the back of taking them up. If he's smart, then why not string us along and keep your options open? He'll have another think now, its only natural. And if he comes here, and the football is as bad as it was under Bowyer the fans will kick off as soon as results dip. But let's not pretend we played good football under T&S or McCall. I'd settle for something that looks reasonably effective and coherent to begin with. But im fully expecting us to have to redraw our plans once Adams tells us he's had a change of heart.

This league is shite and my only hope for buying a season ticket now is Adams having more than double his morecambe budget and getting better players in than what we've seen in this league the last 2 years. I'm currently sat at not getting one and a lack of paint and some new seats ain't making me want to get one any time soon

This is fucking brilliant 😂😂 I'd love us to be a proper shit house side. But do it properly. In fact, given the choice between a free flowing side who puts 3 or 4 away every week or a side who annoys the fuck and really irritates anyone we come up against whilst winning, i'd go with the latter. But then, I'm a cunt.

City pushing for an answer from Derek Adams, I thought it was a done deal and the manager had done the retained list.
Surely not a lie from SparksY..

It would be such a Bradford City thing to keep a seat warm for a new manager for nearly 7 months, doing all the prep for him behind the scenes then he blows us off at the last minute.

It’s even worse than that if, as we’re led to believe, Adams sorted the retained list. This could be a major fuck up even by our standards.

If Adams isn't already signed up (like properly, legally on a bit of paper and ting) then that shows extreme naivety from Sparks and Co. Obviously promotion for Morecombe was a possibility. Unless there is shit going on in the background, Morecombe will REALLY want to keep him now (even if just to avoid distruption). So whatever we agreed with him before, the price just went up. If he has already discussed retained list and possible signing then we are committed much more than him. Again, price goes up. If he had owt about him he could properly screw us now for a massive wage and contract (and a blowy from Sparkles if he wanted). Any 'gentlemans agreement' is out the window. And if he does stay with Morecombe (which he defo could) we are still fucked and miles behind. Swear, if we haven't already signed him on the dotted line we are a proper shambles... oh shit. Its us int it

Its us int it That's pretty much it isn't it? From here onwards it's going to come down to what Adams wants - Would he stay at a L1 club where expectation won't be that high (they almost went down last year and promotion surely wasn't an expectation off the back of that was it) but he has the chance to build on what he's done and try to establish Morecambe as a solid L1 side where anything else is a bonus? Their stadium holds 6,000 and the town has a population of 34,000 - so you'd think in some regards theres only so far they can go (though stranger things have happened)? Or does he drop back to L2 - to a club which potentially has far more than Morecambe, but has consistently underachieved all over the place and where expectation will be high, even if we were to be promoted the consolidation wouldn't be a long-term option. He now has two L2 promotions - does he really need to drop back to this level again and risk being typecast as that? Whatever option he wants, his stock and value has gone up.

Also, 3 of the last 4 City stories on the T&A site -
How Ferguson inspired Bradford City managerial target Adams Bradford City push for Adams answer on managerial vacancy Six players who Adams might target as Bradford City boss
It's all set up for us to fuck this up.

I will giggle my tits off if all this fucks up, that being said I don't think after 3 failed manager contracts in 1 year Sparks dare get this wrong. I believe its all sewn up and done.

Its us int it Even if he has signed for City, Morecambe could presumably hand back and compensation and pay City a bit for any contract agreed. Almost every problem can be solved with the right sized cheque
