Is it any wonder that our national football is in such a mess when they make appointments like this. Great player but nothing more.

@- LORNAO - please don't be so horrible about a man who is a bit lost at the mo. In his day he was a brilliant English footballer and maybe, one day after treatment, he could inspire our young players. Adams is an all time great so I'm very happy he is involved in our youngsters training. - KaraKim_1, Loughton, United Kingdom, 14/3/2013 16:47 ---------- Horrible?, far from it, as most people would also know that Adams himself is a recovering alcoholic, a far greater challenge than getting through 90 minutes a couple of times a week.

Good player , but what has he done, in Management, to deserve this? Jobs for the boys?

A great player but a joke as a manager and coach. This is a disgrace.

Adams was a fantastic player and leader on the pitch, would be great to see him emulate that off the pitch too.

A job for Gazza has to be in the pipeline, sooner or later :) He would make a cracking Water Boy (imo) "Now, that's what I call quality H20...Hic"

Adams has so much wisdom and experience that can have very positive impact on our youth set up.
