Does anyone else get the feeling that some "succession planning" is going on for when Adam eventually moves on??

I can't honestly say the thought never crossed my mind, because it did 🤔
But surely that's just a 'happy accident' by-product, not the main intent for him coming here.
Either way there isn't a vacancy. And even when one day, be it sooner or later, Hinsh moves on there's every chance he'd want to take his coaching staff with him anyway.
Succession planning never accounts for that.
He did well at Hastings and must surely be eyeing the top job somewhere. There's every possibility he won't be with us for very long anyway.

I would have thought he’d have been a prime candidate at Eastbourne Borough, but clearly Mr Beard was in their thinking from the outset. |

Worst centre back we've ever had , worst manager we've ever had (my opinions may be slanted by the fact mrs topbloke thinks he is absolutely gorgeous) she is delighted he's back ! ☹️☹️☹️

Worst manager is very harsh he was the only manager out of many who got us out the Ryman south and many more before him tried! Yes he struggled at the level above but he’s proved at Hastings he has developed his coaching side since his last spell with us |

What’s crazy is since he’s left us teams love him. For me I have to agree with Harty worst in my time has to be Lee Brace |

For me I have to agree with Harty worst in my time has to be Lee Brace The bizarre thing was at the time Morty had his doubts, and asked me , Wayne Wren and Steve Hoare (my youth team management team) if we fancied doing it whilst he looked further afield after Chris White left. I declined, thinking despite Wayne and Steve’s expert input, I would have been way out of my depth, but within 3 months of LB and we all reckoned with a few old heads and the kids we had we could have got through it. My ‘favourite’ Brace story is he presents me with a South American kid who lived in Croydon (Colombian Kevin) at training in August and tells me to give him a run out, he trained four times and we gave him a couple of run outs for the 18s but he was clearly nowhere as good as what we had. When I let him go, his Dad turns up at Woodside with 5 petrol receipts totalling over £200 demanding payment I suggested he go see ‘Meeester Lee’ 😂 |

Used to get weird calls off Brace, for no reason, tells me that Crellin is going to be the new Kenno, all there these Spanish lads who were meant to have played here, there and everywhere were coming.....
How did that one turn out? Kenno, a class Rebel for years, a legend. Crellin couldn't sit down on a plane then tries to attack Worthing fans
When he turned into the big joke that he is, he started heavy breathing/abusive calls. The bloke was nuts!
Either way, really glad to see Gary back. A top defender who hopefully can build upon our weak record defensively last season. Really glad to see him back. Sure he's learned a lot over the years. His result have definitely shown that.

His result have definitely shown that. When we engineered his exit just before I went to Australia in November 2013 , on the Thursday night I got a ‘we know where you live’ phonecall from his sidekick Kieron*, needless to say things were put in place to make sure all parties knew exactly where we stood 😂 *Although Kieron is still the only ever manager in the clubs history to not be appointed by at least one member of the board, Brace turned up a board meeting and told us he’d appointed him as Joint Manager. Morty and the rest of us just sat there in disbelief, such was the situation at the time 🙈 |
