STATEMENT RELEASED ON BEHALF OF CHARLIE ADAM
“I’m hugely disappointed to leave Fleetwood Town after nearly a year as manager, but would like to thank the board for the opportunity.
“I inherited a very difficult situation, and it was a challenge which I feel my staff and I tackled head on – very nearly avoiding relegation in our first six months in charge. This season we built what we thought was a team and squad more than capable of competing at the top end of the division, something I think everyone saw signs of with some excellent results earlier on in the campaign.
“With key players due to return from injury, and a January window around the corner, I’m disappointed I won’t have the chance to finish the job I started – but that’s football!
“I’d like to thank the staff for their excellent support and the young group of players for their hard work and dedication. I also want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the supporters, who have been fantastic throughout my tenure and got behind me from day one, as well as my friends and family for their unwavering support during this journey. I was proud to manage Fleetwood Town and will always remain fond of the club.
“Following a short break, I’ll look forward to my next challenge – one I know I’ll be stronger for.
“All the best and thanks. Charlie.”
