Adams linked with Aberdeen job (update - McInnes stays)
- Thread starter PL2 3DQ
- Start date
At the moment Aberdeen seems to be in a bit of a mess, sold a player this afternoon, wonder if the manager knew, other players have left already and even the Manager wants out.
Not sure it's the best time to take them over unless you get a guarantee not to be sacked in the first year.

Adams' stock in Scotland was always on the increase since his appalling sacking at Ross County. That was a club whose ambition failed to live up to his and in effect he was fired because he wanted to take them beyond a community club. The single worst reputation he had in Scotland was his abrasive manner in which we have seen, both the way he antagonises other managers and how he can galvanise his own team to (some might say) perform greater than the sums.
He needed to take time away from the day to day managing and spent his wilderness year(s) learning from anyone that would allow him access, which was a considerable amount BTW.
That PAFC found him at the most fortuitous time has been a god send. He not only steadied the ship but navigated the club through some stormy waters until the storm was weathered and he can now sail under calmer skies. None of this has been ignored by clubs higher than us up and down the country and regardless of how much we want GC10 to re-sign DA is undoubtedly our prize jewel and he will know that.
I don't know if he has the morals of a saint or that he will stay with us until his dying day but it will be a sad day when he decides that there is more to life than PAFC in League 1. Will he think Aberdeen is a step up? Certainly, he'd be going to a club second only to Celtic atm and with the only realistic chance of delaying the inevitable, will that be enough to persuade him? If he has stated his interest than his compensation will no doubt be greater than his contract with which to find a suitable replacement and in better time than when Sheridan left us with a better organisation surrounding it.
If it happens, good luck DA, thanks for all you've achieved.
On another note. Surely enough has happened since Holloway left and many has since bourne out that the club was being run down so much as to the reasons why he felt he couldn't stay and that a decent club like Leicester was being run one heck of a lot better so why do people persist in calling him a judas? If DA goes what way will people decide to remember him by?

At the moment Argyle seem to be a bit of a mess, bought in a player yesterday of course his manager knew, other players bought in for next season but the manager wants out!

We won't sack him and let any club b off paying compo. More wait and see.
I'd like to know what question DA was asked to elicit the answer he was quoted as giving. It makes a BIG difference. For example, he might have been asked if he would ever like to manage Aberdeen or he might have been asked if he was interested in the current vacancy.

Aberdeen are in the SPL, where could they be promoted too?
It was a flippant response to a green tinted post that we are the only club anyone would want to play/manage etc which is patently untrue and DA would know his mind better than anyone.

Either way, we're letting off any suitors from the potential of compo. How's DA's garden by the way.
