Paulo Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I dunno if it is nice or not. Having him in charge of one of our rivals gave us a bit of an advantage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Surprised at that, despite their start. Could be bad news for us if they bring in a half decent replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meister Jag Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 So who's still out of work: McCall, Calderwood, Coyle, etc. Expect the usual names to appear in all County-related stories. P.S. Does Adams's father-in-law not own the club; or have I been misinformed? Did he sack him? Sunday lunch discussion might be a bit tetchy...

Blackpool Jags Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Adams would make an ideal replacement for Fat Salary down Sevconia way, should zombieco falter over next few weeks. In fact, dial-a-dumplin's coat is on rather a shoogly peg atm, so maybe. . . . Ok, maybe no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think that makes Archie the second longest serving manager in the Premiership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Jag Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think that makes Archie the second longest serving manager in the Premiership. From the "In the hot seat" thread on P&B.

Dark Passenger Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I wonder if pockets of Thistle fans would fancy him over Archie because, you know, he brings in players an' that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglemon Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Whether or not they get a decent manager in they still have too many duds on the field. Some decent ones I'd take to Firhill too= Carey, Boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 He was a terrible manager. Bailed out twice in January by the chairman's cheque book. The only worry is that RC now improve with him gone. The new guy will be left with Adams' dross signings so hopefully they are 12th and out of sight by January.

oneteaminglasgow Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 He clearly wasn't a terrible manager, I just think he's hit the roof of what county could achieve. In the lower leagues, they were able to offer enough more to players that it was worth their while to go up north, but now, while outpacing us and Hamilton I'd imagine the wages on offer are similar to the other clubs around them but obviously being in the middle of ******* nowhere hampers their ability to get a good player. He still achieved significant amounts in getting them here, and whether or not he was bailed out by a chairman backing him a huge deal he kept them here for the last 2 seasons. He's still an absolute ********* who is apparently universally hated by the county playing staff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim slavin's lunchbox Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 From the BBC website The manager, who had two spells in charge at Victoria Park, released a statement saying he had worked with "one of the lowest, if not the lowest, wage bills in the league in the last couple of seasons". The 450 players signed each year must have been doing charity work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyprusjag Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah ,how does that work ? How do you entice players to Ross County if you ain't paying good money ? Free wool ? EBT's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Something was amiss when he failed to take a swipe at us immediately after our game with his lot. Being almost pleasant clearly took too much out of him. I'd be surprised if everything is hunk dory behind the scenes up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Good manager. Successful. Cup finals and promotions. Great opportunity to dump Archie and get him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Undoubtedly did a decent job but let's not forget that this was hardly a club run within its means. McGregor had the cheque book out at every turn. They wouldn't have survived last season had they not spent so big in January. His attitude was a disgrace and I'm led to believe that was one of the reasons why McGregor punted him. McGregor enjoys a good relationship with all other Scottish clubs and Adams antics had jeopardised that. His declaration on Saturday that DU had "stolen" the 3 points was probably the last straw. It was a never ending case of sour grapes with Adams. A continuing lack of class, dignity and humility which probably wasn't in keeping with the chairman, who is famous for his kindness and hospitality towards visiting clubs.
