Jimmy Smith you said: "Of the top 5 scorers, McCormack looks like going to Newcastle for £6m, Rhodes and Deeney are quoted at £7m+ and Martin is off to the premiership" Chris Martin is staying at Derby, who didn''t get promoted? As for the Grabban singing, he has clearly had an excellent season but I can remember us signing Cureton after he''d banged in 23 in this league. We MUST keep Hooper, he can be the best striker in the Championship next season.

If we are still to appoint a ''technical director'', such as Mark Woote, how is that going to work with Joe Royle as ''football consultant''. If one is on the football board, and one isn''t. Surely having two people advising Adams will lead to conflict or people being undermined? Is all a bit confusing.

I''d have him on a one year contract, he is annoyed with Fulham for emailing him to tell him he isn''t getting a new contract. So lets have him come and prove a point here by leading us to the title at their expense.

When Brendan Rodgers was appointed Watford manager they also appointed Frank Lampard Snr in the position of ''Football Consultant'', because it was his first senior job. He chose Lampard as he knew him well. When he left for Reading he took Lampard Snr with him. Looks like an identical situation, and Rodgers hasn''t turned out too bad. Obviously Adams just wants a calm experienced head to fall back on when he needs advice. If Brendan Rodgers thinks that it is the way to go then I''m all for it - he has gone a lot further than Lambert ever will with his ''head of football operations''.

Hooper will score 20+ goals in this league. RVW is unproven and a risk. As much as I''m inclined to believe that RVW is the more talented player, we cannot afford to just cross our fingers and hope he has got his act together. Selling him and buying Rhodes is a much more sensible idea.

So basically you are writing Adams off before we have kicked a ball under his permanent tenureship?

The Director of Recruitment is probably just a posh new job title for Ewan Chester''s replacement, so a fancy way of saying ''Chief Scout''.

I haven''t contradicted myself in any way. You must have had an unpleasant flight. Did a crying baby shart itself in close proximity or is this your usual demeanor?

Are you basing this on Gary Holt''s lack of footballing ability or his coaching ability, because he achieved more in football as a player than Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho and he was only three points away from taking Falkirk to the SPL last season. Edgar Davids got Barnet relegated, but was a world superstar, a world class player and internationally famous. Would that have been acceptable, or do we accept that he probably isn''t a very good coach?

Neil Adams has obviously been reading the PinkUn forum this morning... just said on a video that Gary Holt doesn''t take any nonsense from players on the training pitch, and that discipline stems from his army days. HI NEIL! Feel free to give me a job as your speech writer.

At least if this turns into a disaster the club can pull off another cheapo internal appointment and give Royle the job.

The system that we are setting up is similar to the one that Chelsea operate. I believe we will now have three first team coaches, a technical director (Joe Royle, semantics aside), and a head coach (Neil Adams), and no formal Assistant Manager. Chelsea have four first team coaches, a technical director, and a head coach. They don''t have anybody with the job title ''Assistant Manager'', and we now don''t either.

I can''t believe you just called Gary Holt an "attacking midfielder".

Your post falls down at the first hurdle as it appears to rely on assuming that Malky and Zola were candidates, which has never been confirmed by either those individuals or the club.

Not sure if you are being facetious Reggie or whether you have truly never heard the phrase "I''m not buying it", or similar, which doesn''t have to involve the exchange of cash. Phrasal Verbs: buy into 1. To acquire a stake or interest in: bought into a risky real estate venture. 2. Informal To believe in, especially wholeheartedly or uncritically: couldn''t buy into that brand of conservatism.

You had a choice whether to renew a year ago for a second season under Hughton Reggie, plenty of people renewed despite not liking him, so not sure I buy your argument. Especially as the demand will be there for you to sell your season ticket if you wanted to, still people on a waiting list. I know somebody who would give you face value and let you keep the ticket in your name for renewal next season, PM me if you want to sell it. There is your choice.

A young and progressive manager who has worked wonders in our youth system, stepping up to coincide with our brightest crop of talented kids for over twenty years beginning to integrate with the first team. An experienced, successful, well respected former manager in to assist. Who most importantly is fond of ATTACKING and ATTRACTIVE football. Two men with belief who believe that anything can be achieved, Joe Royle got Oldham to the Premier League. Gary Holt a coach who won''t put up with any nonsense, former army man who won''t tolerate anybody who isn''t willing to put blood, sweat and tears into their training. We''ve swapped Trollope and Caldwerwood (two failed managers) with Royle and Holt. What is not to like?

Be careful what you wish for.

Snodgrass would have been unstoppable in our Lambert team, and I for one would quite like to see Snodgrass in a Neil Adams team in the Championship where I think he would be one of the top two or three players in the division.Our chances of promotion would be severely damaged if he were to depart.

I think Surman is a handy player to have around, a new (better) Simon Lappin who can play centre mid, left mid, and left back. If the wages are right just give him a three year deal, a good player at this level and a good squad player at the next level.

If Bassong is too good for this league Darth Catbeard then why does he now have three Premier League relegations on his CV at the age of 27.

The point being that when he fell out of love with the game and couldn''t be bothered anymore, he hardly walked into Harry Redknapp''s office and told him that he isn''t bothered about money so rip up his contract. He waited a few years until his contract ran out to tell us all that he didn''t want to do something for the money. He was happy with the money when he was getting it, moaning about it after the fact. By contrast you have James Beattie who loves the sport so much that despite being a multi millionaire is on £50k a year at Accrington and giving most of it back when they run out of money to pay for the team coach or pay the milk bill. Giving something back to the game which he did very well out of.

SamBlacksmith he sounded like a complete t*sser to me. OK for him to get to 29 after being paid £50k a week for years without being fit or giving a monkeys, to then turn around and moan that money is ruining the game. Now he is saying that football wasn''t his dream and opening restaurants. With the money that he made from football. He wouldn''t have that money if he hadn''t had big contracts in football. How can you leave football to invest your millions in bars and restaurants on one hand, and moan about the money in football in the other. Been a complete waster sitting around on a fat contract for ages, now doesn''t fancy the Championship (his level now) on £5k a week. And he called running coaches "hanger on''s". They are probably normal guys with Sports Science degrees on £30k a year, who have to go into work and put up with insufferable idiots like Bentley who moans that he isn''t enjoying two hours a training a day for £50k a week. David Bentley of all people, who sat on a fat contract getting fat and wasting his contract, saying that running coaches are hanger on''s..... he is the opposite of cool, he is a loser.

Apparently Leicester and West Brom want him. Would be impressive if we could tempt him here over them, would perhaps show that Adams can attract players and that they are doing the right talking behind the scenes?

Keep your wig on, I didn''t call anybody retarded and neither will I be, just trying to say that it is stupid to say that he would benefit from an attacking game, because all strikers will score more goals in an attacking team.
