I saw he was talking about in 5/10 years making the Champions League group stages, after winning the league in about 3.
Be surprised if he lasts anywhere near that long, bit like when Gazza managed Kettering, just knew it wouldn't turn out like they wanted it to. Sky Sports News showed all the odds of him being there in 5 years, 10 years, getting them to the Football League etc. Barely lasted a month. I'm sure Adams can last longer than that, but that's won't be too hard.
I hope he does well. Adam's is pure marmite ,and even those who like him (such as me) must have their 'squirmy' moments. However, I like the fact that he's a bit different and I hope he can make a career in management, in wherever that might be.
Really surprising move this. Hopefully he will do better here than Gary Neville or David Moyes did - would be good to see a British manager do well abroad. Granada are pretty far from safety though.
His managerial record is pretty poor, apart from the spell at Gabala in Azerbaijan when I think he did ok. However, he's picked up some fairly diverse experience, coaching at Feyenoord, managing in League 2, managing in the Premier League, and Azerbaijan.
Probably a terribly idea but you never know, will be interesting to watch either way.
Bet there's some perplexed people on GranadaLife.com this afternoon.

Sorry, couldnt resist.
He's 50 now, so not exactly a young up and coming manager either

Don Quixote meets Donkey Adams
He also looks like he's rushed in from barbershop quartet practice.
