Norwich City chief executive David McNally insists caretaker manager Neil Adams can land the job fulltime.

Adams was appointed on Sunday night following the decision to end Chris Hughton's 20-month reign after a string of disappointing results left the Canaries 17th in the table and five points clear of the relegation zone.

McNally wants Adams to keep the club in the top flight and seal his position on the bench beyond the end of the campaign.

"We will have to wait until the end of the season but it is all in Neil's hands, if he wants the big job here it is entirely up to him," he said.
