Micky Adams Quotations

Three years is a long time in football and to say my time here has been eventful would be something of an understatement.

Nobody can ever over-estimate the service Richard Shaw has given to Coventry City.

I wouldn't think there will be any more signings, no.

I am determined to see the job through.

I'll always offer my support to this club, ... If that means coming down here and marching down Brighton seafront again then that's what I'll do.

He has now regained consciousness. He's being assessed at the hospital. He's got a gash on his head but I haven't been told that anything is broken.

Half our problem last season was that we leaked too many goals, so I decided we needed more solidity and leadership at the back,

Kevin has been nursing a groin strain so that is why he has not featured in the last two games, but he is ready to come back into the squad for Preston.

I think in my heart of hearts that had a big bearing on it,

It is a great point for us considering what we had to put up with. It was a battling performance and I could not have asked any more of my lads.

Isaac was not expected back before the end of the season but he's recovered very, very well.

People have said to me the acoustics in the stadium work very well, that it's a loud stadium - but the acoustics don't work if nobody's got anything to shout about,

That would be a nice problem to have.

I would like to make it clear that I am continuing as manager of Leicester City,

I would like to thank those fans who have pledged their support to myself personally and to the club in general,

We asked the fans to get behind the players and I think they came together in that respect. There has been a lot of criticism, but I thought everyone stuck together tonight.

We have beaten off a lot of competition from other clubs to secure Martin's signature.

There has been criticism of me from certain quarters among supporters and I can understand and respect that. It comes with the territory. Perhaps I have taken this club as far as I can and now it is time for the mantle to pass on to someone else.

Without wishing to prejudge the criminal investigations and our own club investigation, I am deeply concerned about the actions of a minority of my players.

We had a real go. Everyone's done themselves a world of good. We mixed it up, adopting a style of play that suited us more than them. Teams don't like being turned round.

Duffy will be going back to Portsmouth at the end of the season because he has signed a new contract with them. He got a new and exclusive deal about a month ago, so that suggests to me he will be going back to Pompey where I am sure it will be nice playing in their reserves!

So that's the responsibility which is on us. We have to give people something to shout about.

Dennis will offer a lot to our squad both on and off the pitch. He is a committed and determined individual.

There wasn't a lot in it over the two games. We can be proud despite going out.

It was their kick-off, we've not touched the ball, we've had a player booked and conceded a goal. Let's just say it wasn't the ideal start.

It is time for Richard to leave the football club. He is not a qualified coach and I don't know what avenues he wants to pursue. But he has done OK out of his testimonial and, from our point of view, we wish him well as he leaves.

It has been only three years, but after all that has happened it seems like a lifetime.

He's an experienced professional who's coming to help us out, and he's not signing for us for financial reasons. I think his addition to the squad will benefit everybody.

If I could have made four substitutions I would have done at that time.

If he continues to play like he has been he would have a compelling case for earning another contract.

All those foreign players will be moaning about the amount of games they have played over Christmas. Richard is 37 and he's played four in a week. He was magnificent.
