I assume Morecambe’s ownership model and its set up is to his liking or he would have turned it down like the other Clubs that have contacted him.
Wonder how many ex Argyle players currently free agents may end up there.
Ah right turned down a lot of bigger clubs did he? :lol:

Purely because I'll be keeping everything crossed that we give them an absolute tonking
Nothing against Morecambe like
I hope they beat us...just to annoy you.
Aaaaand we've weeded out one of the 'supporters?' who actually support Derek Adams more than Plymouth Argyle.
I hear Morecambe calling your name. Go and be with him, go and be with him.
Hmmm, not sure you have that correct. It's not uncommon for someone who misses out on a job to report they've turned it down, doesn't make it so.HC Green":1pevqy7a said:Balham_Green":1pevqy7a said:HC Green":1pevqy7a said:Adams just likes a challenge, never did like an easy life, he says that about Argyle.

Yes. The most recent being Orient.

Indeed. Or perhaps the terms couldn't be agreed. Would make very little sense to turn down Orient then take up Morecambe. Or perhaps the bright lights and pace of life in London was too much for 'dull Derek'!
Morecambe fans need to be ready to have their intelligence insulted by ridiculous post match statements.

Wrong on all of the above.
I wouldn't go that far - but his CV does still look decent even with the relegation on it. How many managers we seriously considered haven't got a blot on their record somewhere unless (like RL ) they haven't actually got much experience? He did an astonishing job at Ross, got us to a play-off final and then promoted and then just missed the L1 play-offs - then the relegation on goal difference only after a sudden collapse in form at the end of the season. If I were the Morecambe chariman I'd be very impressed to have someone with that CV and experience show up for interview.arrythewurzel":17q8gctl said:You don't become a bad manager overnight.
I've a feeling that workaholic Derek took his eye off the ball because his span of control became too big for him to cope with. My guess is that he delegated some recruitment decisions to others and they let him down …. and that was his downfall. How he managed to achieve anything with that defence having now seen them struggle in league 2 is remarkable in itself !
Carey's poor form and certain player attitudes got us relegated.
Anyone who bets against him being a success at Morecombe will lose their shirt.
The holiday has clearly done him some good, judging by the interview on the Morecombe website. Never comfortable with the media side of things - he looks younger and completely relaxed and at ease there.
I think that when Ryan Lowe fails (I don't want him to fail - but fear he will) I think DA's achievements (with half the financial backing) will finally be recognised. That will give me a warm glow as I've a lot of time for him.

'Managed to achieve anything with that defence'. !???! You mean relegation? Despite having several quality players. And of course he was responsible for signing 'that defence'. Minor point.
