Whos your biggest Albion Numpty?

[theonesmith]

Your point would be adequately aligned to us keeping Wilkins as manager, not backtracking to revive the failed career of Adams, only to find that keeping him digs us deeper and deeper and...... until we are back to where we were when he first joined us.

Fair point. However it doesn't justify changing again now. Unfortunately, no matter how well Wilkins did, we have to move on as what has happened will stay happened.

OK, sorry, I used the obvious example. Let's use David Moyes at Everton? Or even Gary Johnson at Bristol City? Paul Jewell when Wigan ran up the tables? All where stability has given success. Thats leaving out the obvious one of Wenger with Arsenal. The only occasion where I can remember a quick change of manager giving success was the appointment of Iain Dowie when Palace were at the bottom of the Championship, they then ran to the playoffs and made it to the Premiership. Great. BUT, as it wasn't a team built for the long term, they were the Premier League's whipping boys and subsequently went back down.

Anyway, back to the point in hand, my view is that this club needs stability now, rather than change.

I agree that all clubs need stability, but it also helps to have stability and management and coaching staff who are good coaches and are not tactically inept.

I'm praying there's a plan that will come good! I think that for the club, if we had got rid of MA before the transfer window, then it may have been the right option. But now there isn't much time for a new manager to do much and he's stuck with this team (with players in the squad who were attracted due to MA). Let's hope for a win tomorrow evening!

Adams though is a cock of a highest order, does he really care about the club,

So why did he came on the demos after he had moved to Coventry?
You have made yourself look a cock of a highest order.

Unfortunately I think you have hit the nail on the head there, if we were to change the manager we needed to do it in January, it may be too late now.
I really hope we win tomorrow as it could help turnaround the season.

I see where you are coming from, yes.
But I have trouble wanting to stick with a clueless and failing management (and team) for the sake of keeping some kind of faith. Faith is a necessary quality with spouses and friends, and might be a worthy attribute. Football is a business though, and in business things are a little colder - a successful business keeps faith and maintains strong relationship with the most efficient employees, the ones who bring returns and reap rewards for the company. They have to weed out the inefficient, and replace them to maintain success.
There's no way round those facts.

BHA Numpties with silverware!

What I'm trying to get my head around is why this question compares three totally unrelated individuals, save for a brief Albion connection?

If you must post such unrelenting garbage, why don't you at least compare like for like: three managers, or three misfiring strikers, or chairmen?

You may as well ask who is the biggest numpty out of Anthea Turner, Kim Jong Il and Vince Hilaire. Pointless. Let this "debate" end here.

Vince Hilaire.
Fact.

micky adams followed by leon knight or bas savage


mark mcghee doesn't come close, he actually had sense just he needed patience and we couldn't give him that.

I actually feel ashamed for abusing mcghee, which is why i was a real supporter of wilkins. Adams though is a cock of a highest order, does he really care about the club, because if he wants success he certainly ain't going the right way about it.

how the f*** can you call micky adams a cock? That is not on - you didn't follow the albion under his reign before and you certaintly shouldn't be calling him a cock. He's an albion legend, regardless of his poor reign so far this time. Idiot

 

[Sheebo]

i think you should be ashamed of being such an ignorant twat. I'm far from happy with things right now along with everybody else but if you were a bit older (and a lot more mature) you'd remember what adams did first time around. I reckon you're albion's biggest numpty.

spot on!

 

[Sheebo]

You weren't a fan nine years ago Adrie? And we won the play off final in 2004 - my maths isn't brilliant, but I make that approaching 5 years ago.

The only reason why Manchester United move on and then celebrate something else is because they win things year in, year out. Brighton weren't and aren't used to winning stuff, so it is still good to look back. Hell, if we didn't, we'd all have killed ourselves by now, or we'd have no fans at all.

And Albion "numpties" - Archer, Belotti, Stanley. All others look like saints when compared to those bastards.

Agreed Laura. Adrie always clearly has to make a 'look at me' post and is clearly trying to side with the 'Adam's Out' lot and trying to pick up more friends. Unfortunately by calling a legend of the club a 'cock' he's shot himself in the foot AGAIN!!! Idiot

By your logic, 1066, Steve Gritt is also a "cock of the highest order". Saved the Albion from non-league football, but was sacked the next season because the team were looking in danger of relegation again.

Do we forget his previous achievement, because of the following season? Do we choose not to give a shit about what he did, simply because what happened afterwards couldn't (perhaps inevitably under the circumstances) match up to it? That is after all what you're saying about Micky Adams.

Please: find me one fan on here who thinks Steve Gritt is a total cock, and maybe I'll accept your argument. Otherwise, get back in your box and cease talking directly out of your special place.

Thanks.

EK as one of the few sensible posters on here I'd have thought you would have thought twice before posting such a challenge - you just know they'll be some lobotomised looney who does think that !!!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Haha, I'm sure even people who fail to recognise Steve Gritt's achievement (there really can't be that many) would agree he is also a thoroughly nice bloke, and not at all cock-like. So I'm quietly confident.

Ernest is excepted from this rule
