Adams resigns

[Daddy Pig]

Thank you Micky Adams. You restored pride in the Vale shirt after a time of our darkest performances and during a time of our darkest hours off the pitch. I hope that by taking this action, that MA retains the respect from all PVFC fans that he rightly deserves.

[Santa]

Shocked by the timing, I had my misgivings about the way we'd been playing but I honestly thought he'd stay and fight.

 

His 'shelf life' comments though the other night were probably spot on. After his second spell at Brighton he was probably more conscious of this than we give him credit for.

 

There were some great memories in the 2009-2014 era and a lot for us to be thankful for.

Statement from Micky:

 

"It is with great sadness that I have decided to leave Port Vale but I believe I am leaving the club in a stronger position than when I joined.

 

 

 

"I have spent five years in Burslem, punctuated by a spell at Sheffield United, and although the role of a football manager brings with it a roller-coaster of emotions, I will never forget my time at Vale and the many happy memories I will take away with me.

 

 

 

“This has not been an easy decision to make, which has been made even more difficult by the strong relationships I have forged during my time at the club. I would like to thank my immediate team, all of the staff at Vale Park and the many players I have worked with throughout my two spells. I have met some truly fantastic people.

 

 

 

“In addition, I would like to thank all of the Port Vale fans for their fantastic support. I hope that the club has only bright times ahead.

 

 

 

“I believe now is the time for another manager to take the helm and I would like to thank Norman Smurthwaite and his wife Lorraine for their fantastic support. I wish the club every success for this season and the future.”

Whoever comes in must be able to spot and develop younger players Morsy, Davis and Huggill left whilst Adams was in charge.

Thought he'd have waited to see how Saturdays game played out before he made a decision.

 

Saddened but his 'shelf life' comment I saw it coming.

 

Thanks for the memories Micky.

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

Sad day, thank you Micky for all the great memories you have given to all fans.

 

You leave us as a winner having improved us every season.

 

Second best manager of my club in my life time.

 

Good luck in the future.

[Jinkin John Jeffers]

Sounds like he was no longer willing or able to take manage the club, personally I think he looked tired and uninterested and this is a change that needed to happen.

 

On Saturday we need to get right behind the lads and show our support for them and the club.

 

Thanks for the memories Micky.

[Ben]

Thanks MA for restoring some pride over your time at Vale Park.

[Alan Baker]

Aspin please.

[George]

Very sad day, but one that was coming.

 

Thank you Micky Adams for all you have done for us. I wish you nothing but success in the future.

[Caz or caz123]

Mmmm...well, I really didn't expect Micky to give up so easily. I wish he'd had perhaps another 4 or 5 games to turn it round. Perhaps he feels that something that he couldn't do at this time.

 

Sad to see you go Micky and all the best for the future. You did a brilliant job getting in getting up to Division 1 and for that I think we'll all be forever grateful. Just a pity that it had to end like this. :(

Now hes gone are all you who wanted him gone going to get behind the team now or find another excuse to moan about them , and will you keyboard warriors make an apperance?

[BIRCHES HEAD WHITES]

Whoever comes in must be able to spot and develop younger players Morsy, Davis and Huggill left whilst Adams was in charge.

 

tbh i agree with morsy as i believe he had the ability but davis had plenty of chances and was not good enough , hugill went for the money and not because of micky .

[davehartshill]

Rudge as director of football with a younger manager/coach under him?

 

As somebody said hopefully Smurf gets advice before letting some idiot talk his way into the job.

 

If Rudge gives advice then I reckon Aspin will be next Vale manager.

[Trampilot]

Pulis surely...
