Well after about 3 interviews and a million meetings they decided Fletcher was a better candidate.Hedmans Header wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:58 pm The winning run just continues

Re: Derek Adams ...
All speculation of course but I wouldn’t mind betting we’d be at least where Morecambe are in the table right now if he had been appointed 18 months ago!

Adams would have been wrong for us. It would only have been a matter of time before him and OFF were clashing furiously.

Re: Derek Adams ...
I think Adams would definitely get you promotion but I’m not sure how the supporters would take to him and if they would like his style of football and management. I definitely think Ling and Adams would clash at some point but just look at the facts.Ross County,Plymouth and now Morecambe and is there budget more than Orients? Let’s be honest a lot of supporters at the beginning of a season are hoping to get enough points to avoid relegation and then start thinking of the playoffs and promotion. With Adams in charge I think that mind set would change. Having Ling in control (which he is)you don’t know what season your going to have. It’s a question of when are we getting promoted or if we get promoted or even can we avoid relegation? Think you have to decide if you want success or just be happy as we are? I’d take Adams every day of the week but I appreciate some wouldn’t

Other than extend his clubs season by 2 games.

Surely the ESL debacle would show you that in the words of PEP G ,
Football is about Effort & Reward .
If every season is a Big Season then they are not special seasons ,
They become Bog Standard .
Apathy is Not REWARD !
Pain & Learning are what reaps REWARD !

It’s time for our owners to get in a proven, experienced Manager that is a winner instead of the dross we have had to put up with since the sad death of JE .

Re: Derek Adams ...
That’s why they got rid of him. The thing that concerns me about Jobi is his inability to change formations and not to experiment in the last few games. The playoffs were over 3or4 games ago. Whether or not he has the players to do so he could have found out which ones were adaptable or not? an opportunity lost I think. It’s ok experimenting in friendlies but it would have been more beneficial in a more competitive game IMO.

Morecambe Last 5 League games of the season....W-W-L-W-W
Morecambe's fourth place is their joint-highest pyramid finish and they will face Tranmere Rovers in the play-offs.
It marks a turnaround for the club having finished in the bottom seven of the table for the past five seasons, and comes 11 years after their only previous appearance in the League Two play-offs.
"To finish with 23 wins out of 46 games, and to finish fourth in the league, is a fantastic season," boss Derek Adams told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"We've come up against teams in this division that are bigger and have spent more money than us, but it's not all about that.
"It's about a wee bit of spirit, a wee bit of ability, a good bit of organisation and an ability to score goals and not concede, and we've done that throughout the season."

Can’t see him sitting and listening to a load of bollocks spoken by the transfer committee.
That will probably rule out any decent manager who has a backbone.
