The relationship between Macgregor and Adams was incredibly toxic by the end of his last managerial spell.

Adams snr and Adams jnr were very entrenched by the end. Adams snr sacked jnr, but IIRC that was because Adams snr wouldn't let the chairman speak to the manager and had to go through the director of football for communication.

Maybe enough water has gone under the bridge since...

I don't have a great gut feeling about it, however.

It sometimes feels like only Derek Adams can manage us.  
 

Seemingly his training is mind-numbingly repetitive, but that’s also said about Roy Hodgson too. 
 

Adams + Dhanda doesn’t seem like a great mix to me. 

[bunglebonce]

Going by Transfermarkt, Songo'o (32 yrs now) is a defensive midfielder in Morecambe's standard 4-2-3-1, Slew (31) is an inverted left-winger and Max Melbourne is the fringe left-back.

@Savage Henry Graham Carey played his best football as a number 10 at Plymouth under Adams.

Good. Come to uncle del.

I’m taking a Sun exclusive with a pinch of salt.

If this means a return of 36 year old Evangelos Ikonomou, then I'm all for it.

They say never go back, but sometimes a manager and a club just fit. It worked with Adams once before and I'd be happy enough to give it another whirl.

He's a moaning b*****d, but he's our moaning b*****d.

Have to agree with that last sentence.  Players didn’t seem to like him but performed well and he’s probably learned a bit in recent years - it might be entertaining at least

Adams has been manager of Ross County twice and Morecambe twice. If he joins us again and is sacked I’d be very disappointed if he didn’t go back to Morecambe to make it 3&3.

Morecambe are nicknamed the Shrimps. Loving that.

There's a surf'n'turf joke in there somewhere, desperately trying to get out. I for one welcome the return of our Adams overlord.

Adams was doing fine until he left Morecambe the first time to take up the Bradford job. Win record is barely 25% since then, if even that high.

[Richey Edwards]

Harry Kewell looking to become the first person in history to manage both Notts County AND Ross County.

BBC now reporting it as a done deal.

Could do a lot worse than Adams...

I think so. It needs players who will buy into his system and methods, but if the alternative is Neil Lennon or Callum Davidson, it’s not really a question.  

[UAE1929]

Morecambe fans seem generally pretty upset that he is leaving, club seems to be in a bit of turmoil over an ongoing sale. 

Surprised he is coming back once again, but god watching that side around 2010 was one of my favourite times following the club.

To be fair, Morecambe had one of the lowest budgets in league two, let alone league one. They were never likely to win many games at L1 level

[Comrie]

Bradford seems a poisoned chalice, they seem to be utterly stagnant and have for years.
