Leicester's Micky Adams has criticised two football unions for a lack of support over the La Manga affair.

Micky has come out and had a pop at both the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) and the League Managers' Association (LMA).

Adams does not think they did enough to help Leicester get three of their players bailed from a Spanish jail.

Adams said:

"Both the LMA and the PFA should have been more helpful. That's all I'm going to say."

Both unions weren't too impressed.

"We went to see the players last Tuesday and Micky made it clear that he was disappointed with us," said PFA deputy chief executive Mick McGuire.

"But I don't think he is in full possession of the facts. We have been in constant contact with Leicester's chief executive Tim Davies, the lawyers, the players - and even one of the players' wives.

"We have been assessing the situation constantly but, for example, last week there was no point in us going over to Spain when the players were in jail."

It will be interesting to see whether the PFA help the City players with legal costs. In the past they have funded Royle in his case against Man City, and Blackburn's Garry Flitcroft...despite their huge earnings.

The association backed Blackburn captain Garry Flitcroft the year before last in a notorious case that made national headlines.

The married millionaire, father of a young daughter, was ultimately unsuccessful in his legal attempt to gag the press after a Sunday tabloid uncovered his secret relationships with a lap dancer and nursery nurse.

The PFA agreed to stump up half his legal costs that were estimated to total more than £100,000.

LMA chief executive John Barnwell said:

"I think Micky has handled an extremely difficult situation brilliantly but I am surprised at his comments.

"I say that because he has on hand Dave Bassett (Leicester's director of football), who is a senior member of the LMA, to help him."
