According
to local paper The Leicester Mercury. Micky Adams is "Running
out of patience" with the situation at Leicester City
which he has blasted as "a shambles".
Whilst
on pitch achievements keep fans in fantastic mood the club
still remains in administration and Adams finds himself frustrated
with the lack of moment out of the current financial situation.
Recent
reports of a consortium being poised to take over the club
seem to have been a little premature with the two rival bids
currently waiting for the Administrators to decided who the
club will eventually be sold to.
Adams
told the Mercury, "My patience is wearing thin and the
sooner this club gets out of administration the better because
at the moment it is a shambles.
"I
look around and see Wolves taking a good striker in Carlton
Cole on loan from Chelsea and on Saturday we faced a Sheffield
United team who had added Steve Kabba and Dean Windass to
their squad recently.
"In
the meantime, I have no money and I don't even know who to
speak to here.
"I
have put calls into the administrator and while I am not saying
he is avoiding me, I am waiting to hear back.
"Myself,
Dave Bassett and Andrew Neville are working tremendously hard
to keep things going but it is incredibly difficult.
"I
am having to deal with suspensions and injuries without being
able to add to the strength of the squad the way other clubs
are. I am not a miracle worker."
The
administrators though were quick to hit back, accusing the
rival parties involved of using the media to talk up their
bid.
Administrator
Nick Dargan told the Beeb, "I fully understand the frustration
of Micky Adams and I share his desire to successfully conclude
the administration as soon as possible.
I
will continue to try to keep the problems of the club's financial
affairs away from the manager
"However, the financial affairs of the Club are highly
complex.
"Even
if a consortium successfully raises enough capital to finalise
a deal, any offer still has to be accepted by creditors, some
of whom have direct security over the assets.
"Certain
parties are using the media to suggest they are further advanced
with their fund-raising than they actually are.
"This
is not helpful to the process as it deters other potential
investors from stepping forward.
"As
soon as there is a credible bid that is backed by hard cash,
you can be assured that this will immediately be put before
the Football League, the Football Association, the PFA, the
creditors, including the Crown creditors and of course the
manager and the players.
"In
the meantime, I will continue to try to keep the problems
of the club's financial affairs away from the manager to enable
him and the players to concentrate on continuing to do the
fantastic job that they are doing on the field."
The administrators have insisted they set no time frame on
the club's sale
