He was good fun, but the joke started to get a little old, then turned rather sour in the end.
Dirtfish is one of those types who laughs at a joke for too long, to the extent that everyone else has stopped laughing and is instead now giving them funny looks. If they don't stop laughing eventually, you just have to presume they've gone mad.

If the pos car had stayed together in 2020/2021.. Tänak would have been WDC and everybody would have praised Adamo.
Let's be honest, he brought some excitement to WRC and all the interviews.

Yeah people jump to conclusions to quickly. Claiming Moncet is doing a good job because the car performed better in Sweden than on the Monte is madness, regardless of how competent Moncet is.

I just say that he gives me a better impression on first sight from his 1st months in the job. But it is still to be confirmed over the season for sure.

Adamo was the team principal so in charge of all the aspects of the team; so he is also responsible of the gap getting bigger between Toyota and Hyundai (not the only one maybe but one of the responsible).
Performance does not come by chance.
For me, he is no better than a Matton or a Quesnel (not completely awful still).

He was ways better than Matton or Quesnel who were complete disasters (the former for being incapable of keeping it shot prospect (Ogier), the latter for basically being in charge of a team that delivered nothing). Give Adamo credit of 2 manufacturers championships thqat were a first for the team, after years of failing short despite big money. Not just rolling on the heritage like the citroen boys...

Nothing comparable in terms of position: Adamo also rolled on the heritage; the Hyundai was probably the most consistence car on the sum of 2017 and 2018 and he had a top driver in his line-up from the beginning (Neuville)
+ the budget is not the same than Matton’s era in Citroen.
And the technical gap between Hyundai and Toyota has gotten bigger and bigger all along his tenure (and, even with this, they were late for the new regulation).
Short-term results does not mean that you are a great team manager and you can even be a bad manager and having good results because the context is good.
A great team manager is to build from scratch, to manage titles, to make choices that are consistent but not always safe choices and to prepare the future (so that the team survives your departure): Frequelin was a great manager, Makinen also (with his flaws sometimes) because they cover all this aspects.
