    You would think Plymouth would have learned their lesson after all they made Mr Blobby the Manager .
    I dont think their is much between hime and Adams for the moaning that they use and look out English referees as it will be all your fault when decisions go against Plymouth and not his bad managerial decisions

    I think he might do alright for them. Provincial club, under achieving - a spiky character might get then firing again.

    DA doesn't seem to be that popular but he did a good job at Ross County.

    Yup. An extremely complex/bizarre character

    Indeed, but then again Butcher did a good job at ICT
    This is how it feels

    Always find it odd to think that he was our assistant manager for a while. We've had an unusual assortment of characters in that role over the last decade!

    Ties in with him and his dad being at the Raith v Hibs game we lost at tail end of the season BF - I thought maybe he was being lined up for the Raith job - was strange the pair of them being there.

    I sometimes forget he even was our assistant. Probably because he spent the entire time sat up in the stand through suspension. A weird time for our club.

    Agreed. Adams is a completely bizarre character but Hamill is on a different planet entirely. I caught a bit of Sportscene a few weeks ago and he was squaring up to his teammate and grabbing him round the throat and that. I'm sure they were 2 or 3 up away to Partick at the time. Utter weirdo

    What was that all about? Did Adams actually contribute anything worthwhile during his time at ER? Who was responsible for bringing him to the club in the first place?

    I always thought that Adams was brought here for two reasons. Firstly because we needed someone who knew the Scottish game and had connections to be Calderwood's assistant, and secondly because at the time he was a bright prospect as a manager who could takeover if Calderwood didn't work out.

    Of course, neither of them worked out ....
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    It was a truly bizarre piece of business from Hibs. Added no value that was discernible. Clearly our Rod was responsible. One of many odd decisions during his latter years as head honcho.

    To be fair to Adams, he did well at County Ross, I suspect he might do a decent job at Plymouth too. Can't say I ever warmed to him. He also gave Jamie Hamil his only redeeming moment, fandango.

    A pal of mine who worked within the club at the time told me that Hibs had lined up Adams as boss but at the 11th hour , Calderwood being the board's first choice then became available and subsequently became manager.. Adams was given the assistant's role and a pay rise to soften the blow..

    Sitting in the west lower behind the Hibs dug-out on game days was weird watching everything. It was a strange set-up as Calderwood would discuss tactics with Alistair Stevenson and Gareth Evans at one side of the technical area whereas Adams would stand at the other end and just watch the game without adding any input..

    I interviewed Jimmy Calderwood in Holland a couple of times for The Sun. He told me that DA is despised within the game.

    Although I have nothing against Plymouth Argyle, I very much hope that Adams fails miserably.

    Adams never came across as a nice person and appears to have a hate agenda with Hibs.
