“He was the manager we earmarked straight away, we knew there would be a possibility that he would come back as we have a strong relationship with him, and after a whirlwind two days, we absolutely believe he is the right person to ensure our status in League One,” said co-chairmen Rod Taylor and Graham Howse
“I know the football club well, they were very good to me when I was here before, the co-chairmen, the board of directors, the supporters, the staff and the players were fantastic and it was an really easy decision for me to come back."
“We have obviously got a challenge between now and the end of the season to stay in League One, we are in the relegation zone at this moment in time,” Adams told the club website.
