    They are currently losing 0-1 at HT to Celta,they are down along with Osasuna and hopefully Sporting.
    No idea what Adams is doing as their manager?

    Disliked in error. Very true, they're a complete laughing stock amongst all the Spanish fans.

    Their loss today means they're now relegated.

    Result today:

    Real Sociedad 2 - 1 Granada

    Well, that didn't work out for Adams, did it?

    Shame Osasuna also go down though, they've got fantastic support. Third team almost surely to be Sporting Gijon from Asturias

    Their use to Gino has just ended. They were just the dry run for us.

    Have we still got any players at Granada?

    If so I imagine they will be coming back to the fold now.

    Aly Malle, Uche Henry Agbo ,and Pervis Estupiñán (I think, maybe Udinese owns one or two).

    They won't get back up either. What loon thought that Donkey Adams could save them?

    Still maintain they knew they were going down. The new owners made Adams Sporting Director. Obviously soon after they realised he knew absolutely nothing about the modern game. So they gave him the managers job until the end of the season and hired a new Sporting Director (http://www.granadacf.es/en/new/manu...bout-football-team-is-the-most-important-word). Adams takes them down, his contract expires and they get in someone else without having to pay a hefty pay-off. Genius.

    Considering the state of that team I doubt anyone could've saved them, was easier to give Adams the job as they were going down anyway, giving them more time to find the right person for the job next year. From his interviews it sounds like he'll be involved with the Club next season as well.
