Fear: Adams says Arsenal are ill-prepared if Arsene Wenger decides to leave

'I don't need the money. I would put the god of the club first in every case and I could mediate well within the club.

'Chips is a great guy but not very imaginative choice. And he is 73.'

Adams fears Arsenal are 'miles away' from winning the title.

And he claims they are ill-prepared to replace boss Arsene Wenger if he decides to leave at the end of next season.

He added: 'It's time Arsenal won something again, even the FA Cup or League Cup. But I can't see it, to be honest.'
