Adam Murray

[gazza1988]

Yes of course Hayden White too, still that's now up to 2 players out of all the signings he made is still not good.

Back to point. Murrays fledgling managerial career looks a lot more promising than JDs.

I've met Adam several times he's a great lad. He's funny, charming and intelligent, even shrewd. As a player, you always noticed him. He was never invisible and always involved even when he was playing badly. A rare and commendable trait.

He will always get people to work hard for him because he's a passionate bloke. This takes you far in life. It's the ability to get the best out of people, staff and players alike.

The only blemish on his record is his Paul Cox mutiny, which we don't know much about.

Eh????
Murray's fledgling managerial post was here and it was the worst football in my 45 seasons of attending and that includes Boam and Jones.

Twas the only time in the warmer months I started to nod off in my seat.

Twas also the one and only time I pulled up on Matlock Avenue as he was talking through his team selection of 7-8 defenders, so I went home as really couldn't stomach the most boring negative football in 45 years, talk about over thinking it.

Another 'nice chap' totally out his depth!!!

Short term memory loss or what... Worst football in 45 years? Murray got an average side playing quite well and got us up to 4th for a large part of his first proper season... the club should have backed him. It was far better than anything we saw in the conference.

I must have missed that 1st game of the season!!!!

[gazza1988]

Wasn't Murray's season te one where we tried to "break even" financially. Then the budget was increased once Steve Evans came on board.

Don't make excuses for him, the turgid defensive pap was unforgivable

Dunno about that WC - Palmer's stint saw more negatives than Max Spielmann & less penetration than a eunuch. I remember County away being so dull the fans had to provide the entertainment!

Blimey, there was some god awful stuff in the 90's that I saw!

[Kenwood]

Murray’s problem was he wasn’t given the kind of budget given to the likes of Evans & Flitcroft and even Dempster who was allowed to bring the likes of Maynard & Cook.

Once Murray found himself in the bottom half of league 2 the pressure and not wanting to risk the clubs league status, having played a massive part in regaining it caused him to take fewer and fewer risks resulting in more negative tactics.

I think Murray has it in him to be a success at football management and wish him well.

His signings while at Mansfield have been a lot more successful than the two previous more experienced managers and certainly a lot cheaper

[Tippy Tappy Football]

The playing budget had already been cut to around £800,000 when Paul Cox was in charge at the start of 2014-2015 and when Adam Murray took over in November 2014. JR had started to cut the budget in January 2014 when we signed nobody in the transfer window. This probably coincided with the FCA investigation of One Call where John and One Call were fined over £1 million. However the good honest lads did their fighting, scratching and biting and got us up to 11th on 60 points (11 points off play offs). The budget was probably increased the following year as Adam Murray signed Matt Green back from Birmingham City and he was on decent money.

The spending on wages did definitely increase when Steve Evans arrived. I always thought Adam Murray did a decent job overall as manager but he lost the fans with the the disappointing home performances.

Total Wages for Club (including non playing staff)
2011-2012: £1,344,256 (Paul Cox finished 3rd in National League)
2012-2013: £2,328,070 (Paul Cox won National League)
2013-2014: £2,071,080 (Paul Cox finished 11th in League 2)
2014-2015: £1,486,334 (Paul Cox and Adam Murray finished 21st in League 2)
2015-2016: £1,464,626 (Adam Murray finished 12th in League 2)
2016-2017: £1,884,466 (Adam Murray/Steve Evans finished 12th in League 2)
2017-2018: £3,200,441 (Estimated) (£1,600,221 for 6 months from 1st July to 31st December 2017). (Steve Evans/David Flitcroft finished 8th)

Note: These wages will include the employer's national insurance contributions of around 13.8%

This team needs to learn how to bite & scratch too

Good research there !!!

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

So in real terms there was a big wage cut for Paul Cox and Adam Murray compared to the later incumbents.

It certainly makes their records and achievements look better.

He's getting the best out of a bad bunch, they got rid of their best players in the summer and didn't replace them. If h can get a first win he might end up staying and trying to keep them up
