Also difficult to understand was how poor he was when wearing a yellow/green shirt
Was interesting reading an EDP interview with the scout who brought him to CR. Sounds like it was basically injuries that stopped him getting the run in the team his performances in training deserved.

That is a matter of opinion.
Was he any worse than the current incumbent

Absolutely not!! - ten times better if you ask me, and it´s still one of the worst decisions the Club have ever made, sacking him WHEN THEY DID. Had he failed to keep us up that season then sacking him in the summer would have been fair and reasonable, but doing it when they did, was completely ludicrous.

I still miss him, but great to see him holding his own in the PL.

A totally needless relegation brought about by Hughton’s negative tactics and bigging up of the opposition. You can just imagine his team talks can’t you, “They’ve loads of quality so just try not to lose “ <doh>
He should have been sacked way earlier and a new experienced manager put in place rather than poor old Neeyul who at least had the decency to fall on his sword the next season when he realised he was not up to the job and he has my total respect for that.
Perhaps Hughton has learned from his abysmal last few months here and that is why he is (currently) doing well at Brighton, or perhaps Brighton is just a good fit for him to quote a cliché.

He’s a very nice man :emoticon-0119-puke:

He certainly is that KIO, and for that he gets my respect. :) and very possibly, according to some at any rate, he should have been sacked earlier, but to do it when they did was utter stupidity, and brought about by sheer desperation, it gave Adams absolutely no chance whatsoever, and subsequently ruined whatever career he might have thought he had in football management. There were no winners there at all - except Hughton, ironically!
