If you look around the football world there really aren’t many clubs who tick those boxes as I’m sure he well knows. Maybe I’m being naïve but I don’t think it will be money or glamour that will entice him to leave but only the prospect of another ‘project’ to build something bigger when he feels he’s taken us as far as he can…….. or he’ll quit over a point of principle. Hopefully neither will happen for a long time yet.
I agree with that, at the time of Adams reaching 1,000 days in charge he was quoted as saying, ‘the Chairman lets me run the football club exactly as I see fit’.

But that will be Gary Rowett's 4th team in 6 seasons - DA is only on his 2nd team in a much longer period. Maybe it's not all about the money (fingers crossed). Totally agree that he's all set to make a name for himself here, already made a good start!gaspargomez":2v9sc9ph said:Gary Rowett signed a long term contract at Derby a few months ago- now he’s off to Stoke. Let’s hope Adams didn’t just sign for a pay rise. I think that, with proper financial backing, he can really make a name for himself here.
