Former Coventry City player and manager Micky Adams maintains he is the man to take Sheffield United back up if they are relegated.
The Blades are rock bottom of the Championship and travel to second bottom Preston tomorrow and Adams had told the Yorkshire Post that he is still the man to bring the good times back to Bramall Lane.
If we do get relegated, there is a massive rebuilding job to to be done here but I have shown at other football clubs that I can do it,” Adams said yesterday. “It will hurt me massively if we do go down but, if we do, I want the opportunity to take us back up.
“No-one has given up – I don’t want to give anybody that impression,”
“But it is looking nearly impossible. Could I have seen this coming? Possibly. Did I think it would happen? Maybe naively, no. But I can honestly say I have done everything I possibly could to try and arrest it.
“Often in football, you will hear fans saying to managers “You don’t understand this football club, you don’t care because you’re just the custodian of it and we are going to be here long after you have gone’. Well, I don’t think they can throw that at me.”
