CITY

are pleased to confirm former Canary Neil Adams has rejoined the

Academy and will take up the position of Under-14s Coach with immediate

effect.

Adams left his position as Under-14s coach in May last season due to

restructuring, and is now looking forward to taking up the position

again in the reformed Youth Academy. He said: "Glenn Roeder approached

me to come back, I accepted and I''m delighted to be back."

City boss Roeder commented: "I''m really pleased to have Neil Adams

back on board. He''s an excellent coach and is well respected in the

game. It was unfortunate that due to restructuring of the Academy, we

had to release Neil at the end of last season. However we have now

rejigged the structure to give Neil the chance to come back on board.

I''m delighted that Neil has accepted our offer."

Adams, 42, was a regular player for the Canaries between 1994-99, making 206 appearances and scoring 30 goals for the Club.

[/quote]pleased for all concerned, but imo shouldn''t radio naaarrfolk get a new summeriser, unless neil is free to air his mind now???

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Well actually Plymouth may not be certainties for relegation after all. Maybe it was Norwich''s good play that made them look so poor. Roeder probably made the right decision in not giving Hucks another contract at the end of last season, with the players he has brought in I don''t see many better sides in this division and would think we have a good chance of at least a play-off place. [:O]

Didn''t he have a ''spat'' with Roeder?  I thought this is why he left?

Or

Was it a result of one of the Turner''s ''cost cutting'' exercises?

[norfolkbroadslim 225]

Maybe now he can tell us what they do in traynun?

I think this is a classic example of  why supporters get hacked off with the spin at NCFC.  Now there is journalistic license and then there is just treating the fans with contempt.  It was well publicised by Adams, and not so discretely by Roeder, that they fell out over comments that Adams made about Roeder and Huckerby. 

Why make a statement saying that it was due to restructuring when we have all seen different.  Hacks me off rubbish like this!

Takes a big man to admit he got it wrong - and a bigger one to make amends. Well done Mr Roeder and welcome back Mr Adams. (Personally I hope you keep your slot on Radio Norfolk). Can we expect Luke Chadwick to get a game now....?

And which PinkUn Message Board poster''s persistant and probing questioning of Neil Adams on Canary Call after our defeat at Leicester prompted Adams to make those "imappropriate" comments about Darren Huckerby''s non-selection?

I wonder?

love him or hate him canary call just wouldn`t be the same without adams, i believe he does his best to be objective and always has done, the famous " are you stupid barry" call being a good example, time and again adams refeered to hucks being the main culprit for being caught offside  and not the more intelligent players  as he put it.. and hucks is supposed to be the one he lost his job over, i think he just says it as he sees it and always has done  welcome back neil  [<:o)]

Er - my comment was about Roeder - not Neil Adams.

[Syteanric 1]

does that humble pie taste good Roeder?

or does Mr Adams have inside info that, as no no longer a club employee, he could of made public without fear of recrmination?

jas :)

I liked Neil Adams as a player and as a summariser,so I''m glad to hear that he''s going to be involved with the club again. Also pleased to see GR being prepared to backtrack on what I thought at the time was a bit of petty vindictiveness.The guy just keeps going higher in my estimation!

Whatever you think of him - you can''t deny Neil Adams doesn''t do that...

Now I''ll have you know that unless he agrees that we are going to be relegated and that Delia is a wicked old witch and that Pattison should be nowhere near the first team and that Donkerty is the worst player ever to wear the shirt then he is sitting on the fence[:''(] Afraid to speak his mind because he is a club employee [:|]
