Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 14, 2014 Yeah, why not? Might as well give it a go. Any manager could come in an be a ''puppet'' - as none of us are on the board or the manager I guess we''ll never know if they are or are not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salopian 1 Posted July 14, 2014 Why should there be any difference between the two? Are you suggesting that either the Board or Adams in any way wishes the Club to fail? Surely there is a coincidence of desire and ambition for the club to succeed?While on the subject, Adams has a three year deal, or is it four? You must be very cynical to suggest that they will reward Adams for failure. Why would they do this The Board may have made mistakes - they did so in allowing Hughton to stop so long, but I have little doubt that they wish the club to succeed, and in this are one with Adams.

Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted July 14, 2014 He''s done nothing so far to make me not trust him, quite the contrary in fact. He has promised to play attacking football and he kept that promise at Dereham with both the diamond and a 4-4-2 used in the two halves. His comments on tactics in the Pink''un today backs this up:“You just have to have a look at things. What you don’t want to do is become fixed. Last season perhaps we weren’t flexible enough and then you become too easy to read and to deal with and teams know how you play,” said Adams. “If it is working well then of course you stay with it, but I also believe you need to have a plan B from game to game and during games as well. That served us well in the last five games of last season, albeit we didn’t win one of them, but certainly the Liverpool game we had to change it and the players were comfortable and we saw what happened in terms of the performance. We played the diamond at Fulham and it worked really good. It is important to get players who are comfortable with the way you want to play and if we come up against opposition who we feel are weak in the full-back areas then we can perhaps flatten out in midfield. Similarly if they are weak centrally we can look to overload in those areas and the diamond is an option.”He also said that he''d have liked a higher tempo in the game, but that the sticky pitch made that more difficult. Sounds good to me.http://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/neil_adams_diamonds_are_not_forever_for_norwich_city_1_3682872 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waveney Canary 0 Posted July 14, 2014 Trust Is earned. He did little to earn it at the end of last season so lost fans will have a question mark until they see results.I exclude the 2 love birds Morty and LDC who have blind faith in him like they did with Hapless Hughton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YellowNets1901 0 Posted July 14, 2014 I think we have to trust him. The way I look at this summer is, I''ve largely switched off from Norwich matters. Last season was quite exhausting. I don''t have a particular interest in who we sell, who we sign or what our backroom staff looks like. I can''t be bothered to get up in arms about such things. I''ll start paying attention again around a week before our season kicks off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted July 14, 2014 Well, if you write off the final 5 games of last season, where circumstances were exceptional, he has not kicked a ball in anger (as manager) yet. So it''s a little early to answer Wiz''s question.It is true that trust has to be earned, so to give a sensible answer to it we''ll have to see how things pan out between now and the end of the year.

Waveney Canary 0 Posted July 14, 2014 It''s a good shout he does seem to have an unhealthy interest in the male sexual organ.
