I'm glad there was no internet when we appointed Ken Brown, or Dave Stringer

can you imagine the tilt-off that would have caused? Neither of them had ever managed before, although Stringer had taken our youth team to an FA Cup win...

I wouldn't necessarily have gone with Adams myself, but I'll give him my support now he's the boss.
