Asked whether his previous club could win the class under the present administrator, Adams told Goals on Sunday: "He's contracted for an additional year and a half, so you're asking me whether this squad can do it. I don't figure they can, I believe that is really self-evident.

"In any case, to what extent will he continue for the time being? How old would he say he is 67? He's as of now said retirement is demise to him, so you can't see him resigning and there doesn't appear to be anything outside of the amusement for him.

"Because I played at the club it doesn't give me any free ticket to work with the club once more, it shouldn't be that way.

"Be that as it may, on justify, there were two or three occurrences and openings were I could have been of administration and it didn't emerge. The main reason I can state that is on account of Arsene didn't need me around."
