yes, they probably do like him - he seems a fairly likeable bloke

but that doesn't necessarily mean that they respect him as a manager or that they respect his methods.

If I was working under a manger at a company where I only planned to stay for a couple of years, I would prefer someone who wouldn't criticise, even after I'd done something really s**t or was just slacking around. Much more pleasant than a confident, experienced manager, who was secure in his position, giving you a bollocking. The latter would probably make you work harder though.

    - Oh. A 9 word tweet. (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 14, 10:32:26
      - That's a bit dismissive (NCFC) - Old Git, Nov 14, 10:35:29
        
        Is Nursey actually a credible source? (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 10:57:25
        
        he's pretty much spot on with all his Norwich info (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 14, 10:59:51
        
        Never seen anything from him that was "spot on" that wasn't being widely reported. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 11:07:34
        
        That could very well be the only reason he was sacked (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 14, 10:41:01
        
        I'm sure Archant are on the case. Full essay on the way. (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Nov 14, 10:48:31

        Only passing info on! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 10:56:00
        
        Fair point (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 14, 10:43:32
        
        Anyone got the mirror handy? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 10:37:18
      - If you want an essay type tweet (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 10:35:06
        
        A link to the full story is not too much to ask is it? (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 14, 10:42:41
        
        It is when I can't find it (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 10:56:15
        
        Probably only a small aside in a box in the paper, not worth digitizing. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 11:08:12
        
        We are irrelevant now at the national level I suppose (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 11:10:21
- That the James Nursey exclusive... (NCFC) - loz, Nov 14, 10:21:02
  - Interesting tweet 2 days ago (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 10:34:13
    - So he went mental at the players and stormed out. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 10:55:23
      - I realise you are being sarcastic, but that could actually be part of a wider problem (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 14, 10:58:31
        
        Mark Robson has no less or more "standing" that Ian Culverhouse (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 11:09:59
        
        to be fair, we had players at the club..., (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 14, 14:57:35
        
        Except Culverhouse has a very good coaching record with senior players. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 11:12:49
        
        Yeah, doesn't seem to have translated at the higher level does it. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 11:27:14
        
        vVvvvvmt (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Nov 14, 15:02:08
        
        well Lambert had a very high profile in the game as a player (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 14, 11:11:25
        
        Well no, I think we all thought that may be a problem. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 11:02:46
        
        exactly - but if, after four months, the coaching staff still don't (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 14, 11:09:23
        
        The general feeling end of last season was players really liked training with MR. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 11:28:08
        
        I think it suggests they actually like NA and thought Robson was out of order. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 11:14:03
        
        yes, they probably do like him - he seems a fairly likeable bloke (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 14, 11:21:31
        
        So Adams is the new Bryan Gunn? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 11:17:33
        
        New Peter Grant imo (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 11:20:26
        
        Grant at least knew his limitations (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 11:24:14
        
        I agree. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 11:30:40
        
        So the board made another mistake (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 14, 11:07:59
        
        Only success a youth cup win? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 11:00:16
      - Why you having a go at robson only now? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 10:57:42
        
        I'd never really noticed him tbh (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 10:58:56
        
        I imagine that is the type of thing Bassong said to Adams (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 14, 11:05:37
        
        Well yes, as in any line of work there's a big difference between your boss is shit (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 11:07:28
        
        Bassong's remark was something along the lines of 'who the hell are you' (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 14, 11:09:22
        
        Right. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 11:11:56
        
        Can we sack Lurd? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 11:10:41
        
        I hope not, I'm very happy with Lurd on the coaching staff here (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 14, 11:15:57
        
        *thinking your boss (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 11:08:02
    - Adams seems to be pretty insecure... (NCFC) - loz, Nov 14, 10:42:20
      - Or he has balls the size of watermelons and doesn't take any shit (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Nov 14, 10:51:28
      - The players were probably wondering if they were supposed to know who he was. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 10:48:52
      - Not sure what your point is? Once Fergie ripped a player they generally got binned. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 10:48:50
        
        So Robson resigned? I find that hard to believe. (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Nov 14, 10:53:55
        
        I never said he resigned. I never said he was sacked. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 11:14:17
        
        Sounds like he went mental and flounced (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 14, 10:57:28
        
        No. He was sacked because he undermined Adams. (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 14, 10:52:13
        
        James Nursey would I'm sure be delighted that his message has got through. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 11:17:40
        
        Fergie thought van Nistelroy undermined him, so got rid. Insecurity? (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Nov 14, 11:04:35
        
        Unfortunately adAms seems to feel undermined every couple of weeks ... (NCFC) - loz, Nov 14, 11:12:11
        
        Every couple of weeks? Bassong and others binned in May, Robson this week. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 14, 11:15:27
        
        I was bjust no sarcastic sorry if that wasn't clear its happening a fair bit though (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 14, 11:18:39
        
        Fergie deserved massive respect as greatest manager ever (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 14, 11:07:59
        
        vmt - not sure how comparisons can be made between Ferguson, (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 14, 11:15:16
