"Marge! Is Lisa in camp Grenada?"
Tony Adams appointed coach of Granada
- Thread starter Cal?
- Start date
When I read it I assumed Grenada as well. Was wondering why it was on BBC news.
Are people aware that he has been involved behind the scenes with them for the last few months? I imagine he speaks Spanish, knows the club now and has good links with the owner. It's a perfectly logical appointment for the last 7/8 games.
I'd completely forgotten he was even trying to be a manager. Insane appointment.
Just looked at their squad, even now Pozzo has gone they're still not shy of loaning a player or twelve are they?!
Doesn't matter who they appoint tbf. They are going down anyways. They are 7 points behind Leganés and have the worst calendar with games against Celta de Vigo, Sevilla, Real Sociedad and Real Madrid in the last match. They are doomed.
Yes, it's not a random appointment.
He's been working for their owner for a while - and more specifically at Granada since before Christmas, apparently tasked with restructuring the club.
What he said seemed realistic enough - big job ahead, one step back, two forward, that sort of thing. Long term they want to become an established mid-table club with a good academy.
Whether he's the man to get them there is another matter, but he doesn't come across as particularly crazy - plus the current gig could easily just be the most practical interim solution. For all we know he's meant to step down at the end of the season and go back to being a director type in charge of said restructuring job.
I hope his Spanish is better than Moyes.
Like birdshit on a jaycloth.
Nigel Reo-Coker and Kieron Richardson on trial with them accoridng to BBC

Adams was last a winner back in the late 90's...Caprice 
Wait until they keep Andy P out of the side.
feck me, what a clown 
Granada are fecking idiots to hire him
Granada are fecking idiots to hire himThere's no chance he is expecting to go down.
Too foreign - the foreigner.
I dont have sound on my work pc, please tell me he has done a mcclaren and spoke with a spanish accent
Too foreign ffs.
Yes he often nips to the cash and carry for him and washes his motor.
Yes, probably.
If anyone's actually interested in the background, this sums it up:
http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/39558702
Granada currently have 19 different nationalities in their squad (Granada have a squad of 25).
Adams will have them all on the Rioja in no time
British bulldog spirit. Good move Adams.
too many foreigners, brings in more English players.
Is this for real??
Was gonna post something along these lines. Hilarious
They have no chance now
Maybe Moyes can recommend that 'Stefano' who he managed while at Sociedad
This is going to be a managerial appointment for the ages. Young Granada fans will be telling their grandchildren about this.
He's gone for the Mike Bassett approach in his first press conference, good start from the big man. Go kick some ass Tony lad, drop Andy Pereira and get Reo Coker on that pitch ASAP. Hopefully he'll get Marlon Harewood as the big man up top and Jermaine Pennant once he's found his car he forgot he had in Zaragoza.
good luck to him but he wont be there at the start of the season
Who the feck thought letting Donkey Adams near a dug out was a good idea?
