Adams quits over anxiety

LEICESTER manager Micky Adams revealed he quit the Walkers Stadium because he believed his anxiety was affecting the fortunes of the team.

Adams stunned his employers by tendering his resignation yesterday and despite the club’s attempts to persuade him otherwise the former Brighton and Fulham boss was determined to walk away.

The Foxes have had a disappointing start to the season and Adams believes he needs time to recharge his batteries. “We are not talking about just this season, we are talking about a series of events at this football club that have weighed heavy on my mind and I think I need fresh start,” he said.

“I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was the last two home games we had. The players did not show the confidence they should have. Maybe I was passing my anxiety on to them (the team) to do well. I am now hoping that with me going the shackles will be off and they can show they are a good team.”
