That's how I'd see it too, keeping a faithful middleman* in the system basically. If Webber leaves as planned, or comes under fire then Adams can still remain in position, allowing someone new to come in with some familiarity/stability. I don't think the club would risk pushing Adams to the front again, as he's too experienced and valuable here behind the scenes (imo). Which is really important when you're establishing a succession of youth development, he can keep that fine detail going between studying incomings and our outgoing loanees. If this is a move by Webber himself, then hats off to him. Really hope season turns round enough to convince him that there's more to achieve here, personally. *Shirt and tie version of Oli Skipp? 🙂 Edited September 29, 2021 by Google Bot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Starr 571 Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Good move. Adams is clearly highly rated behind the scenes and has been for some time. I like this. Hopefully not a successor to Webber however as I fear he may not be cut throat enough. Excellent cover however if (when) a transition occurs.

curious yellow 184 Posted September 29, 2021 Hughes used to divide his time clapping, losing the ball and assaulting fans. The loan system is a bit of a mess at the moment. It's used for either getting rid of mistake buys or disrupting the progress of promising players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loans can provide a platform for young players to show what they can do. Ask Godfrey and Cantwell. People already knew what Maddison could do, but his time in Aberdeen made him realise he needed to come back and knuckle down in Norwich to break through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,004 Posted September 29, 2021 Very interesting appointment. Does this mean Webber is definitely leaving and Adams will be a stop gap? Frees Webber to do other things, like finding a replacement for Farke? Get the feeling we're heading for a period of change! I would be amazed if Adams were to be a permanent replacement for Webber.

alex_ncfc 686 Posted September 29, 2021 Doesn't take a genius to workout where this is heading. The club slowly slipping back into its ways. It'll be some cheap option manager coming after Farke too, "because he once played for us so must be a good fit" 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,950 Posted September 29, 2021 Interesting that Hughes is pursuing a career with the club after what happened at the end of his playing days with the club. If there is any criticism of him at public meetings, hope he keeps his cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
