adams sacked

Coventry boss Micky Adams has been sacked in the wake of the FA Cup third round defeat at home to Bristol City.
Adams' fate was sealed at a board meeting held at the Ricoh Arena after a dismal sequence of results.

He said: "I'm devastated and bitterly disappointed. I wish the club every success in the future, but sadly I won't be part of it.

"It's not been a disastrous tenure and that's what I can't understand. I felt I could have turned it around."

Adams admitted the sale of Gary McSheffrey to Championship rivals Birmingham City had been a crucial setback.

He said: "The sale of Gary McSheffrey was a big turning point for everybody because he is a quality player and you can't replace quality players that easily."

Adams will seek a swift return to football after the end of his two-year reign at Coventry.

He said: "I want to get back into work as soon as I can."

Coventry managing director Paul Fletcher issued an ominous message after the loss against Bristol City left angry fans demanding Adams' dismissal.

He said: "Micky Adams is an absolutely lovely guy but it just isn't working for him at present.

"He is not getting results and that is what he is paid to do. We are all answerable at the end of the day."

But Adams refused to criticise the Coventry board, saying: "I'm not here to throw stones at people because I've got too much respect for everyone at the club, including the chairman and the board.

"I have been supported as well as I could have been."

Coventry's recent slump started with a 5-0 demolition by West Brom and they have earned just one point from their last six league games.

Well I liked him thought he was genuine and honest, but I think he'd lost control in the dressing room. There were rumours that he was not talking to some players or they were not talking to him. Something died in December nad we Coventry fans have had to suffer it.

I thought players were meant to be be proffesionals but it would look as if some the Coventry players didn't get waht they wanted and stopped trying...

I' ve posted a copy of the chairmans letter about what is going to heppen next we'll if its fact or fiction
