I've never heard of half the managers in the bottom two divisions, let alone the conference, and I'll be honest there are one or two in this division I'd not come across until this year so I see absolutely no reason at all why one of those clubs wouldn't have taken a punt on Neil Adams as manager. He's fully qualified and had success with coaching our youth team so why wouldn't someone have given him a job had he applied for any of them? He clearly interviews well, is intelligent and is very knowledgable of the game - he was even decorated at a high level as a player so it would hardly be tantamount to giving the job to the bloke who cuts the grass and marks out the pitch for heaven's sake. All managers have to start somewhere and rely on someone to give them their first job, every single one of them from Mourinho to Bryan Gunn and everyone in between.
We may not be familiar with many of them, but the managers of the top ten teams in the Conference have an average of 11 years management experience and have managed 3 clubs.
