Micky Adams has pledged to return Albion to the Championship by 2011.

Adams, back as manager after a seven-year gap, outlined his hopes for his second spell at the club at a press conference at Withdean today.

He said: "The short term aim is to get the club in the Championship. I think that is achievable, certainly in the three years that I've got.

"We then establish it in the Championship for a push maybe for the Premiership, once we are in the new stadium. Anything is possible."
