Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted November 27, 2014 [quote user="YankeeCanary"]I predict Adams will still be manager at Norwich after Lennon and Mackay have left their current positions. We shall see.[/quote]Indeed we shall, YC.Mind you, it''d not surprise me if Malky were to leave Wigan for ,shall we say, non football related reasons !

What we can speculate about, however, and will eventually be able to witness, is where Norwich, Bolton and Wigan will finish in the division this season. My view is that Norwich will finish the highest and, further, just for fun, I predict Adams will still be manager at Norwich after Lennon and Mackay have left their current positions. We shall see.[/quote]Lennon and McKay are so far ahead of Adams that to try make out we have the better man is just comical , Adams will never ever manage another football club after he is finally sacked , he will end up flogging mobiles like another of our great leaders .

How about you matching that to back up your faith in those two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn''t making the comparison. Just responding to it. What would you call a fair comparison? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
