You can''t be libeled for saying someone lied about stuff like that!  Get a grip.

Where were you when Neil Adams was appointed?I was eating a sausage roll on the couch.

....Neil''s wireless interviews will be good.

You''re mental.

So you''re really saying none of those are better on paper than Adams?  None less of a risk?Really?  Get a grip you fool.[quote user="AndyCanary"]Never in our modern history has it been more vital that our new manager has contacts, experience and ability. Does Adams have those? Proven? Lennon: Contacts????? English Experience???? Proven ability outside of a pub league???? Malky: Contacts??? look at his signings Experience???? Spent a fortune and got Cardiff promoted but was lucky after a horrendous run torwards the end of the season Experience????? Some, but still a rookie. Zola: Contacts???? Not proven Experience??? Nothing too exciting almost got a great West Ham side relegated.[/quote]

It needs to be a big appointment.If it''s Ricky bloody Martin there''s going to be a riot.

Never in our modern history has it been more vital that our new manager has contacts, experience and ability.Does Adams have those?  Proven?No, not in any way shape or form.It''s like announcing UKIP will form a government.  It might be a stroke of genius but everyone knows it will really end in a mess.

He is a rookie.This is the most important season for YEARS.We have money.  A good squad.And we can''t attract anyone else?Wake up pal.

He meant it.Backed into a corner and they panicked.25 million kitty, a squad to overhaul.  Entrusted to someone with no experience and no contacts.AWFUL.

This is a f*cking disaster for our club.What a TERRIBLE appointment.  Shocking, cheap, awful.They obviously didnt want him or he could have got on with the job a week ago!PANIC PANIC PANIC.Let''s hope to F*CK they appoint a technical director with contacts in the game.

Zola sat there and said he was interested.Of course there were candidates.The board backed themselves into a corner with the stupid deadline, and have panicked rather than hold out for Malky to make a decision.Bloody obvious.Wake up.

Support the team.  Yes.Agree with this pathetic appointment. No.Expected to win the division.  Massive clear out and rebuilding to do.  Largest kitty in the division.Neil Adams.Bloody LUDICROUS.

It''s a terrible appointment.

Appoint an in-house rookie.Is that seriously the best we can attract?Laughing stock.The board obviously went for Malky, who stalled and they felt they had to go with someone.Lennon never even approached by the sound of it.If we are struggling at Christmas, McNally has to effing leave.

"Your team is debt free because of the ridiculous TV money. We get £300k a season from TV money. "That''s because apart from the people who pack the ground to watch you win against poor opposition every week, nobody else in the world gives a stuff....

According to a scottish journo, Lennon''s agent reckons he is not in talks with any club.Ties up with what was being said a few days ago about his family.Perhaps we are still managerless! And if Malky gets the nod for Celtic.....

They know each other from Celtic and were seen chatting at the Fulham game.[quote user="The Great Mass Debater"]Have Lennon and McNally worked together before?[/quote]

Looks like this could be it.

People are laughing at you because you seriously suggested we bid 9 million for him.Try again with 3 or 4 million, you might get some interest.

If we are after someone in a job, why has there been no approach?If it''s Lennon, for example, we would have to actually approach Celtic to formally speak to him.  Even if it''s a formality because we have buttered him up on the quiet, by the time Celtic huff and puff and the talking is done, days can pass.

Michael Bailey reckons he has been interviewed.

What twaddle.We got rid because we were moving up to a higher level.Are you seriously saying the club should retain players just in case we get relegated back to the level they can play at?None of those three was good enough for the premier league.

Not one of you answered the question.  Why, because you all chose B.Then dismissed it as "conspiracy".

It really looks to me from the initial club statement that they had already talked to someone. There can be no other explanation for the confidence of the "within a week" promise.If you were that someone, and you saw the people you were negotiating with put a self-imposed time limit on things to the fans, what would you do.A.  Sign up immediately.B. Play a waiting game so you can come back in asking for more as the pressure builds.That would explain the odd damage limitation exercise on radio bumpkin the other morning and it would explain the lack of a new manager.

Well lets keep hold of him for a season.  Even then he will still have two years left on his deal so will be worth several million.  With the right manager he will be a Huckerby in the Championship.
