Club Press Release

Albion are reappointing Micky Adams as manager with immediate effect. Dean Wilkins has been offered the role of first-team coach at the club.

Chairman Dick Knight explained, "This decision has not been taken lightly, but the Board feel we need a manager with the wealth of experience to help the club make the leap into the Championship.

"Dean's strengths lie in coaching and the development of players and that is why we have offered him the role of senior coach under Micky."

Adams has agreed a three-year deal with Albion. He and Wilkins worked together during the former's first spell at the club, while assistant boss Dean White was appointed to Albion's coaching staff by Adams in 2000.

All of Albion's backroom and coaching staff - including White, reserve-team boss Ian Chapman and chief scout Barry Lloyd - will all remain in their existing positions.

Adams was in charge of one the most successful periods in the club's history, leading Albion to the Third Division Championship in 2000/01 and also laid the foundations for the club's successive championship in 2002.

He has also enjoyed promotion success at Fulham and Leicester City, taking the Foxes to the Premiership, and most recently was assistant manager at Colchester United.

Adams said, "Having worked at the club previously, which was a fantastic and rewarding experience, to get the chance to manage a super football club like Brighton & Hove Albion again was an opportunity I couldn't turn down.

"I look forward to working alongside Dean Wilkins, the players and the rest of the coaching staff - and working together with the Albion supporters - to try and get this club back into the Championship as we move towards our new home ."

Holy. f***ing. Shit.

Wilkins will be gone by the end of the week - no way he'll put up with that. Am I the only person here who thinks this is a bad idea? Never go back...

I am stunned to say the least - surely Wilkins will not accept this.

Should be interesting next season to say the least.

Can't help but feel excited.

Can't help but feel a bit sorry for Dean ... he's come a long way and has the makings of a decent manager.

Can't help but feel this is a joke. How much have I had to drink?
