bunglebonce Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I knew someone was going to come out with that comparing Hitler to Adams patter. Show me where I compared the two. I was using it an example. An example of what? Everyone knows you weren't comparing Adams to Hitler, hence the patter. No-one needs to have met a war criminal of such notoriety to know they're a horrible human being by any objective standard. But an out-of-work football manager to be called a horrible human being, for, presumably, making mistakes, being abrasive in his work and therefore annoying internet fanboys, is a bit OTT. IMO. Which is why I asked my question. Marc Klok called George and Derek Adams terrible people, but at least he worked under them for a year to make the judgement.

nsr Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 What exactly is George Adams' involvement all about? Wasn't he in charge of youth development at ours while Derek was playing for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland No 1 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think he's better suited to the lower leagues generally, I'm not sure his particular brand of man management is going to be tolerated by those who aren't the sort of players who made up our 1st Division winning side, which was made up of a lot of young players discarded by big teams and clearly just glad to be able to continue as professional players. Definitely a total w**k though. What young players would that be from big clubs, Grant Munro, Ross Tokely, Mark Brown or who else did you have in mind?

Begbie Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 What young players would that be from big clubs, Grant Munro, Ross Tokely, Mark Brown or who else did you have in mind? Only one of those three were in the team that won Div 1, fud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkboy Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 What young players would that be from big clubs, Grant Munro, Ross Tokely, Mark Brown or who else did you have in mind? Christ man, please read. I was thinking more Michael Gardyne, Jimmy Scott, Paul Lawson, Scott Boyd who was let go by Partick Thistle, Richard Brittain, hell, even Iain Vigurs: key players in our 1st Division winning season. I get that there's this lazy meme about Adams buying "success", but the massive turnover didn't start until after our first season in the top flight. Before that we'd had a fairly stable squad for a few years. And it was a squad made up largely of players discarded by top flight sides who were hungry to prove their clubs wrong. So you didn't just miss the point, you managed to include Tokely & Brown who didn't even sign until we got promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonBairn Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I reckon he might do well in this job. Similar to County geographically, it might allow him to build a siege mentality. Hope he fails though.
