Tony Adams: Why League One management was a different world

What is the best route into football management for a former player? Joey Barton is set to start his managerial career at Fleetwood Town in the summer. But former Arsenal and England defender Tony Adams tells Sky Sports why that route didn't work for him, how he has been "put off" by management and why "you are only as good as your players"...

"You get labelled very early," says Tony Adams as he reflects on his first step into management with Wycombe in League One in 2003.

"Maybe because I went to Wycombe that early and was perceived to be a failure it can stand against you. I am not sure it's a good idea."
