exactly - but in the original post he compared Adams to Phelan

in terms of lack of managerial experience. But there is a massive difference in terms of their experience working with the first team at a high level.

From the list of successful managers you posted, most have experience working with the first team under a top manager. Adams has never done this, Phelan has.
