Adams to review retained list
3:25pm Friday 9th May 2008
Micky Adams will take another look at the list of players released and retained by his managerial predecessor, Dean Wilkins.
Wilkins axed ten players on Tuesday, including long-serving trio Kerry Mayo, Gary Hart and Guy Butters, and gave five others new deals.
Adams said: "I will sit down with Dick (chairman Dick Knight) and the Board and review it. That is not to say players who have been released will be given a way back into the club.
"I will review it and take opinions. I've got my own opinions because I have seen the team three or four times this season."
Adams has ruled out a return to the club for either of his former assistants, Alan Cork and Bob Booker.
He said: "The chairman has already said we've got an established coaching set-up at the club and I don't see that changing."

Good luck Micky and well done to Dean for getting us up to 7th in spite of all the changes, and all those knocking his efforts.

Joel I hope Rentzey Sonny and Reid at least are reconsidered - I understand Rentzey is being looked at by a couple of clubs already. DW refused to let him go on loan at least 3 times and the clubs have waited I understand. Anyway he deserves some respect 33 games last season surely stands for that!!!!

He\\\'s not saying there will be a way back (and he\\\'s not saying there won\\\'t). All he\\\'s saying is there may be! Give the bloke a break Mark.

"Possibly players that have been released, there may be a way back for them, but that's for discussion later on"
That is what is said on the video!

Keep Sam Rents Mickey; he's like a young Kerry Mayo, only maybe a bit more potential!
I totally agree with you Smudge, problem is do you think Mickey will read this?
I think Cobbs should be kept too - and Reid surely deserves 6 months at least!

I feel sorry for Wilkins, and think that the whole saga stinks of unfairness. Nothing against Adams, but this isn't the time. DK goes up a few points in the polls, that's what it's about.

Having made the decisions there are absolutely no way they can bring back some of the players Wilkins axed as it would place Wilkins in a very akward situation.
