Former Coventry City player and manager Micky Adams is expected to sign a new twelve month rolling contract with Port Vale.
Adams, a member of the Coventry City Former Players Association, who regularly watched Coventry City at Sixfields but made it crystal clear that the Sky Blues should be playing at the Ricoh Arena, is coming to the end of a contract at the Potteries based club.
"I'm very pleased Micky wants to stay," Coventry born Port Vale Chairman Norman Smurthwaite told BBC Radio Stoke.
"He's a much better manager than Port Vale deserve, because of his CV.
"I've never had a Plan B for Micky. But I had to put one in place just in case a large club came for him.
"Because, if they had, he'd have had my blessing, as I think he's at the wrong level.
"I felt it was only right that he be certain that he wanted to tie himself to a 12-month rolling contract, "said Smurthwaite.
"One of my biggest concerns was the fact that he commuted an hour and half each day, on top of all the other stresses.
"And that the appetite from the fans was there for him to continue. We need the fans on the journey to where we want to go.
"But he's had time to survey it and I'm very pleased he wants to stay as we have a great understanding and working relationship."
