Information they could have put on the website but didn't. Apart from Errington's tweet which he admitted was what he 'understood' at 5:30pm yesterday, there was nothing official from the club until this morning. Even then it was largely an overview of Derek Adams that could have been uploaded yesterday.

I really would have thought the media department would have hashed a press release out in the evening to confirm what was going on.

The club are going to broadcast the press conference today and for those without argyle world can see youtube later as the club will be putting up vids from thatt on there.

How long till he tells the super fans to feck off

That guy Dave Gibbins from the BBC reported lunchtime on the news that it was all done and dusted

never said it was live but its going on there later and snippets are going on youtube later today. Drummer boy is seen in the background of one of the photos of del bhey arriving so i guess that vid is going to be in a match day moment format.

This is a great appointment IMO. He's a young hungry manager who has had some phenomenal success and I am now looking forward to the season with some enthusiasm.
Now for some new signings  

Perhaps a few wee gems from Scotland, players who mean business..

I'm not convinced....

Wait and see.

Good Luck Dezza, perhaps he can give this club the kick up the arse it needs!

Just seen his interview on Spotlight [Natalie looked chuffed to be sat next to Adams] and he put his thoughts and views across well. Much better than grumpy Sheridan.

Indeed and i think we will see a much hungrier Argyle next season if Adams is to believed.

He said he works and and he likes his players to be just as hard working as he is.

It will be interesting to see what calibre of player he can bring in. 

For the first time in ages, i am actually looking forward to the new season with Adams in charge. It will certainly be a mighty change from watching grumpy Sheridan.

I'm not totally overwhelmed with glee at DA's appointment. I was hoping for Jones to get the job, but he didn't, and we are where we are. I'm prepared to save judgment until at the very least we're a dozen or so games into the season. Until then, DA get's my backing. To be honest, although I would of liked Jones to get the job, DA's reported passion and enthusiasm has aroused a wee bit of excitent for the season ahead. Up until DA's appointment, and on hearing some of the candidates for the job, I was totally despondent.

Last unknown I trusted from Scotland turnt out to be Williamson.
That's why I'm worried.

Only time will tell what kind of appointment he will be lets see how it pans out

The last unknown I trusted from Scotland was a chap called Paul Sturrock. The rest they say - well, you know how the story goes.

A two year contract has been given to him and i feel this coming season will be a tweaking season, with players being added to areas that need attention.

Can Argyle get promoted or reach the Play-Offs again, not sure, but it will be entertaining to watch and find out.

Having thought about it, Adams is surely going to be either the next Paul Sturrock or Bobby Williamson - with no in between.

No chance we'll have another season like the one just gone, we'll either absolutely storm the league and go up automatically or finish somewhere in the bottom 6.

Very hopeful - I like what he's said so far, as said he can talk the talk.. I just hope he can walk it too. That'd be real nice.

Seems an intelligent and thoughtful bloke, I wasn't at first but am well excited now!

Me neither, but I'm open to becoming convinced, the proof will be in the pudding.

It's that comment from the Ross County fan yesterday. You always get grumbles from former club's supporters but it's not isolated, it neatly summarises the impression gained from digging deeper on t'internet. "He does have bad points though, his personality will split your fan base and your dressing room, he's a pretty horrible bloke with no real people skills".

No manager ever says anything alarming when unveiled and having just watched his interview on Youtube it's everything you'd expect to hear. Yet on PASOTI it's an all very orgasmic response  

Let's see, I'm not going to be anything but supportive until I have reason not to be, I just can't so readily dismiss the baggage he comes with as easily as some are prepared to do. If he hasn't changed it could be a disaster for us. If he has learned though and developed some people skills, allied to his undoubted drive and ability we could be on to a winner.

A watching brief. Over to you Del Bhey

I did laugh when someone today said "We're lucky he has baggage as otherwise he wouldn't drop to us in League 2". Yeah, cause if he didn't have baggage he'd be a better f*cking manager wouldn't he.

F*ckwit.

He is del bhey adams and he should only be judge on what he does here as manager not what others have done in the past. Just like every manager before him was and afterwards will be. If people start comparing him to luggy  before the ink's dry on the contract its setting an unreaistic standard or writing him off before he has started comparing him to fletcher.

let him show us what he is all about with expectations.
