    After spending 20 years at Arsenal and winning 10 major honours, he's now at Pompey sitting next to Harry Redknapp.

    He started off his managerial career at Wycombe, which went a tad pear shaped and got relegated.

    He's been around Holland with Feyenoord and other smaller teams, working as a coach and manager, amongst other things.

    At the moment he's doing his apprenticeship at Portsmouth under one of the best English managers around, at a time where the club are going through their most successful period in a long time.

    No doubt in a couple of years, or even less, Adams may try his hand at a managerial job again, which may be top flight or possibly the championship, but does he have the potential to be a top manager?
    Although his inital mangerial career was a diaster, working along side

    Harry may have provided an opportunity for a learning curb aswell as gaining top flight experience. A bit far fetched but could Adams one day be England manager? Following in the steps of Van Basten, Dunga possibly?

    Adams could follow in their footsteps by managing his national team appaulingly.

    He predicted before the game that France would "make a donkey out of him".

    Gave away the foul for the Zidane FK did he not? And I'd like to know where all our defenders went when Stevie G played that casual backpass.

    And I'd like to know where all our defenders went when Stevie G played that casual backpass.

    It was Heskey, remember ? That killed his Intl. career for 3 years.

    The 2nd point is just a wind up - that casual backpass was a brainless 40 yard hoof.

    True. Aged 40 or so he is actually better than most forwards who are active today. Berbatov reminds me a little of Van Basten with his neat ball control, vision and technique.

    Adams might be a good manager but a lot depends on if he can keep off the sauce.

    What will he have learnt off Arry that'll be useful to him as possible England manager? You can't just buy in lots of Africans to account for the total lack of academy production when you're managing the national team.

    Though if you could, then England would be a better team.

    He won't have access to anything like the same sort of squad of players though, so tactically nothing he's learning will be useful to him. Man management is overrated. That essentially boils down to whether or not you're a c**t.

    Well, if we adopt my policy of importing Africans en masse and nationalising them then sure, Adams would be a good bet...
