Indeed. Norman is the real winner in all of this. Still getting installments, got a great price for the club and loving life. 

I agree, he caused hell for the club and remember....Askey is his man. 

Is his wife getting half?

[CAVALIER]

Derek Adams may go to Motherwell, who's manager resigned this week. There's no point JA telling half a story. His job is on the line so defend yourself and explain, which would give you credibility at least.

Which one 

[Aguar61]

Bet his five chins are shaking with laughter,curse the bastard.

I actually feel for JA as it’s clear he wants to be successful at the club. Unfortunately, for whatever reason something has gone desperately wrong and in a quarter of the season (12 games) we’ve won once and are staring a relegation fight in the face. 
Action is needed in the next fortnight otherwise it’ll be too late!

After the crap he got last time no chance

There is only one appointment I can see us making and that’s Micky Adams. That’s if he fancies coming out of his hiatus for another stint as our manager.

Mad when you consider that it was only a bunch of weeks ago we were mostly talking about about a top 6 finish. We had one of the best defences in the league, going by the goals conceded column, and although far from flashy, were looking a hard team to beat. We've now lost half the games we have played. That Exeter away win is nothing but a distant memory now although it wasn't that long ago at all. Something has quickly gone completely and utterly Pete Tong.

? He went fairly rapidly after 6 games. I don't recall him getting a hammering?

Unless you mean in general from having to deal with normong.

Get Mad Dog Allen in. knows the league, not currently in employment. might be just the ruthless streak we need right now to make tough choices.

Simon Grayson reminds me a bit of when we appointed Micky Adams.

• Prickly Yorkshireman
• Demands 100% effort and commitment
• Experienced football league manager with a solid overall record
• Stock probably not at his highest, but needs an opportunity to rebuild reputation
• Out of work

If Askey goes, I'd be straight on the phone to him.

There’s better managers out there than him mate, surely. There’s probably a reason he’s been out the game for a while. I very much doubt we will pay for a manager who’s at another club so it’ll be the normal usual suspects who get linked with clubs like ours.
