Did DA know what he was doing? (I told you so)

[Guiri Green]

I liked it

Me too.

Style and personality? Hahahaha

Had me scratching my head too

There are people on both sides of the camp who go OTT.

I totally agree with this.

I really think the Mods do a great job monitoring so many people on this forum. However, this time l think thats a bit naughty changing the title of the thread as l suspect many other posters, including myself, assumed the OP did it and was being totally self indulgent.

You might not like what he wrote. Or even agree to it. You might be “changing the title” to warn people what the thread is about but aren’t we grown up enough to seriously decide for ourselves?

I regularly change thread titles (with the brackets) because often the title doesn't give the reader an idea of what the thread is about.

Not really worth falling out over is it?

Not gonna fall out over it. Just worth debating l suppose.

I didn’t know Postey often changed thread titles with brackets. I like him as a poster. He speaks a lot of sense.

I accept what Postey has just said. I just thought that in this insistence that by modifying the title it makes more of an issue because it’s his opinion surely the way the OP wrote what he did. Others might come to a different conclusion.

Anyhow, time to play golf.

 

[Todric]

A suggestion Ian:- perhaps if a title is changed by a mod, then include a short suffix like EBM (i.e. Edited By Mod).

I would also agree that its not worth falling out on this.

OP here: thanks to all those who have expressed their understanding of my OP, regardless of whether they agree with my view or not. In particular to UpThe Line, MetalGreen Mickey and Todric.
For me it's not really a question of whether we agree or not, for me it's more a question of providing a forum where people can express their views, and have them accepted as simply their views, without hostility and without having their mental health questioned (as by Voice of Reason in this case), and without being told to "Get over yourself" (as suggested by IJN).
And yes, for what it's worth, I agree with the suggestion that if a Mod changes the OP, it should be indicated by something like "EBM" (Edited By Mod) so that it is clear what has occurred.
It would surely be regrettable, in the bigger scheme of things, if the leading PAFC forum should ever become a place where contributors could not freely express their views without facing the type of hostile response that is all too evident elsewhere online.

 

[Vampires11]

By the tone of the OP philevs comes over like a 10 ten year old. Told you he was sh!t na na na na na.....parents must be so proud that a 7 year old was such a visionary.
So many threads on here akin to this.
Pass a bucket. Need to barf

His position became untenable in the end but I still feel he is a decent manager at this level and would be a good appointment for somebody else.

Ultimately people wanted his team's playing a different brand of football, not that they complained when it won us promotion. When we played that style and didn't win it became a problem.

It'll be interesting to see if our next manager can match his achievements.

Disingenuous
Plenty of us complained about his style, even when we got promoted - and got slagged off for doing so

This whitewashing of the past is a bit misleading.

Plenty of people didn't enjoy the Adams brand of football throughout his entire tenure, and there's been loads of comments about how it was the flattest promotion season imaginable. To now pretend "no-one complained at the time" is just incorrect.


Obviously he'll get another job, but I think potential employers will look at the amount of pointless, wasteful signings he made at us and ask questions about his judgement and use of a budget. I suspect he'll end up back in Scotland.

I think potential employers will look more at the 3 successful seasons at Argyle and the 3 successful seasons at Ross County and the Carey, Bradley, Freddie, Lameiras, Songo, Sawyer, Tanner, Kennedy, Oscar etc etc etc signings and the fact he earnt probably 75% of what Tisdale and Sheridan earn now at MK Franchise and Chesterfield in the conference.

Obviously lots of people enjoyed the style of play as the crowds increased. Perhaps the extra 4,000+ didn’t really understand football?

I was vocal towards Adam style since the play off loss at Wembley. I always said his football was dire with a few exceptions and when we got promoted I stated on here it was a bit meh. There were plenty of us shouting about it but the win ratio stats kept get thrown back at us ( which is fair)

With a few considered words from Adams fans I tolerated him but would never say I had never complained because I was like a stuck record :lol:

Any way all history and he will manage again
