The former City defender won the vote ahead of Yeovil Town boss Gary Johnson and Eric Black with current caretaker manager Adrian Heath in fourth place.
Yeovil maintain they have not received an approach for Gary Johnson whilst Eric Black is a definite non runner,so Adrian Heath may move into the top three by default.
The results have been forward to the Sky Blue Trust who will add them to the votes already received via their website and announce the names of the top three to the City Board.
Concerns have been expressed regarding who Adams if appointed is to bring with him.
Speculation that Coventry legend Trevor Peake is one choice would be highly acceptable to many who were dismayed that he was ousted from the club by Gary McAllister.
However, if Dion Dublin was to be brought in as Adams number two then the feelings would be quite different.
