Adams considered quitting

Tony Adams has revealed he considered quitting Portsmouth in December after struggling to come to terms with a limited transfer budget. The former Arsenal captain was relieved of his role at Fratton Park on Monday following a poor run of results.However, his sacking has been met by a mixed reaction after Adams oversaw just 22 games on the South Coast before facing the axe.Adams has insisted he has no regrets, but he admits he contemplated leaving the club after discovering that owner Alexandre Gaydamak's investment in transfers would be minimal.AwfulHe told The News: "I could have resigned at Christmas over the financial situation, it did cross my mind. "I travelled to the offices in London and was told I would have to sell a player and there was little money for me to spend anyway."That's the owner's prerogative, I am not going to criticise him. He's put an awful lot of money into this club. "But suddenly, as manager, the goalposts had been moved and if you take the tools away you cannot do the job.Quality"I thought about it, but was not prepared to jump ship after two months. I wanted to carry on with the job."I don't regret that. (Executive chairman) Peter Storrie and myself had to work incredibly hard to then bring players in - and we managed to find some real quality. "But I suppose the time to go could have been just before Christmas because after that the job became much, much harder."
