NickG Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 as it is said the new owners monitor forums... I have just heard on the radio that Tony Adams is the most likely new manager. If this is being considered for a minute please do two things 1) Watch any of his interviews when with skates to see how clueless he was. 2) Not wishing to speak for everyone but suspect my view of not wanting him would be echoed by nearly every saints fan. A very uninspiring, unpopular appointment in my opinion. I would rather Wotte, or even JP, or even Branfoot!
thorpie the sinner Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I am sorry, this would dampen if not kill my euphoria in one foul swoop!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matthew Le God Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Preferring Branfoot is taking it a bit far. But I agree not the best choice of manager if this is true.
Rasiak-9- Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 seconded - besides the pompey connection his record when managing them proved that he is quite simply a clueless, inept, poor manager

SaintRobbie Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 lol... here we go again! No Adams please. Who's starting the next thread?
Smirking_Saint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 You need to be some mentalist mother f*cker to even consider it. Especially seeing as St Mary's has a bar

chocco boxo Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I really hope not but In Saints world anything is possible. Tony is off his rocker.
Matthew Le God Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 (edited) Adams is a laughable figure after he claimed he would get the Celtic job because he knew Wim Jansen. Jansen later said this was rubbish. Edited 10 July, 2009 by Matthew Le God
A Nut Can Cut You Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 1) Watch any of his interviews when with skates to see how clueless he was. Adams is far from clueless, but he just isn't cut out for management.
NickG Posted 10 July, 2009 Author Posted 10 July, 2009 sorry, didn't realise the other thread was about adams. Heard it on radio and wanted to get it off my chest!
alpine_saint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I can believe this is a serious prospect. All the good work of the last couple of days would be undone in one fell swoop.
Justin C Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Noooooooooooooooooooo, I will do the job if we are that stuck. Ot would be more popular
gonzo Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Tony Adams would be a disaster. He proved at Wycombe and the skates he was not cut out for the manager's job anywhere.
NickG Posted 10 July, 2009 Author Posted 10 July, 2009 Adams is far from clueless, but he just isn't cut out for management. you are right, those interviews were far beyond clueless, he was a laughing stock - skates were embarrassed by him.
trousers Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Whoops....wrong thread...only one place to stick those fire works on a Tony Adams thread
SaintRobbie Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Sounds like all the skates are betting on Adams and all the Saints on WGS!
alpine_saint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Look, Andy Oldknow aint stupid. He helped put the Swiss deal together and landed himself a cushy number as a reward. He isnt going to screw the pooch by appointing a failed ex-Skate manager
kpturner Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 The best thing to do is bombard sky sports news and echo with emails expressing opinion before disaster strikes. This could be the one single issue that every supporter agrees on.
barney Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 2 season tickets down the drain if this is true.......................
Thedelldays Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Tony Adams will have the rupert effect on me NOT going to the ground.. i simply will give up on the club...it will be a case of...different owner same shyt
St Chalet Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Both WGS and Adams would put 5k on the gate every Saturday. Strachan the gate at SMS and Adams the gate at Ikea. Will be sending my thoughts to aoldknow@saintsfc.co.uk
MOSaint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Tony Adams would be a massive mistake, reminds me a lot of Bryan Robson in that he's a clueless manager who will keep getting jobs solely because he was a good player.
paris Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 He is now Sober respect that ... WGS is my choice.. You need to be some mentalist mother f*cker to even consider it. Especially seeing as St Mary's has a bar
NickG Posted 10 July, 2009 Author Posted 10 July, 2009 he spoke about Gaydamac would only ever sell to someone if they guaranteed Adams would be manager. He said that he would spend millions in transfer window. All comments that everyone else new were not true but he seemed to believe them. I cannot think of one quality or reason to bring him here.
Beer Engine Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 (edited) It's the club that's supposed to be getting a second chance not the manager FFS! Edited 10 July, 2009 by Beer Engine Illiteracy of da Yoof innit bruv?

shurlock Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 There's not much to recommend from his wiki entry. If I was being charitable, I would say he's a good drink partner and his romford philosopher-king interviews crack me up though I'm not really laughing with him. After starting a sports science degree at Brunel University, Adams became the manager of Wycombe Wanderers in November 2003. He was unable to prevent the club's relegation to League Two that season, and although the club were top of the table in August 2004, a loss of form saw them fall down the table.[7] He resigned from Wycombe in November 2004, citing personal reasons. He was succeeded by John Gorman. On 7 July 2005, Adams accepted a trainee coaching role with Dutch side Feyenoord with special responsibility for its Jonge team, which is a reserve/junior side. Adams later had a short spell seconded to Utrecht as a first team trainee coach, between 15 January and 2 February 2006. On 28 June 2006, Adams joined Portsmouth as assistant manager to Harry Redknapp, a position left vacant by the departure of Kevin Bond. In his first season as assistant, Portsmouth finished ninth in the Premier League - their highest standing since the 1950s and won the 2007-08 FA Cup. On 25 October 2008 Adams was appointed caretaker manager of Portsmouth, alongside Joe Jordan,[8] following the departure of Harry Redknapp to Tottenham Hotspur. He was subsequently appointed full-time manager on 28 October 2008.[8][9] He was sacked on 9 February 2009 after just 16 games in charge in which Portsmouth picked up only 10 points.[10] Adams has served as a part-time Arsenal scout starting while he was at Feyenoord, watching games in Italy, France, and the Netherlands.[2]

NickG Posted 10 July, 2009 Author Posted 10 July, 2009 lets keep it going, we need to be sure none of us want him!
CWD Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Steve Wigley, Stuart Gray, Jan Poortvliet, Mark Wotte, Branfoot 5 **** managers who i would rather have than TA PLEASE GOD NO and im posting this on every anti Adams thread

RedWillie Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I have just emailed Roger Johnson at the BBC and kindly asked him and his mates to stop linking his name for the job... feel free to join in roger.johnson@bbc.co.uk
Clifford Nelson Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Yes - already done that too - in a polite reasoned manner of course. Me too! On second thoughts though it sounds like a nasty trick to plant the name in the mix just to wind us up? Can anybody suggest a worse suggestion?
