Good news in my opinion. I just hope the board back him. He will pull us out of this no doubt and go on to better things next season:

Micky Adams has reiterated he will not resign as Albion manager and insists his desire is as strong as ever.
Adams outlined to The Argus his determination to see the job through amid mounting speculation over his future.
Tuesday’s penalty shoot-out defeat at Luton, watched by Australian-based major shareholder Tony Bloom and the Board, denied Albion a trip to Wembley in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. Adams is likely to have talks with chairman Dick Knight before Saturday’s match at Millwall but he remains committed to the task of trying to haul Albion clear of the League One relegation zone.
“I am not resigning because I don’t feel the need to,” he said. “I want to take this club forward and I am going to try my hardest to get it right.”
Adams is annoyed by the perception that he is not the same passionate manager who was the architect of the club’s revival in his first spell in charge, which ended eight years ago.
He said: “I am upset by people thinking that. My desire is the same as it has always been but you mature as a person and a manager and it won’t help shouting and hollering at players when they make mistakes.
“The game has changed and footballers have changed. That is the quickest way to lose players these days.
“When players are low on confidence the last thing they need is a manager pointing out all of their mistakes.
“Also, you have got to look at the dressing room you have got.
“The last time I was here I could have done that with the players I had back then but I am not going to fake it now by waving my arms in the air.
"I am as passionate as ever, I want to win. I am gutted the way things have worked out so far.
"I can only apologise for it and I have got to try and put it right. But don't tell me I have lost passion. That is nonsense and I resent that."
David Livermore misses the next three matches after his red card at Luton and on-loan Crystal Palace striker Calvin Andrew is out for three weeks with a hamstring injury sustained in the second half against his home town club.
Tony Godden is continuing to help out with coaching Albion's goalkeepers as the search goes on for a permanent replacement for Paul Crichton following his return to Norwich.
