Ex-Spurs boss Sherwood happy for Adams over Norwich success

Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood is delighted for Neil Adams over his success at Championship club Norwich City.

Sherwood wrote in the Independent: "I am not sure he has got the full credit that he deserves for such a good start to the season when you compare it to those at Fulham and Cardiff City.

"There were the usual concerns about his lack of experience when he took the job. Not every manager can offer experience. It is no guarantee of success. Even the best had to start somewhere. Adams has managed relegation well. He has kept many of his good players, like Nathan Redmond and Wes Hoolahan. Norwich have lost Leroy Fer and Robert Snodgrass but have coped with it. Adams has them playing with a bit of freedom.

"When you take over a club that is struggling, you have to wipe the slate clean and give everyone a chance. In turn, Norwich have also shown faith in Adams and they have benefited from that."
