CRAIG Adams will be given the final say regarding his future at Weymouth, the under-23s manager insists.
Adams was last summer ushered in by previous first-team boss Bobby Wilkinson and continued in his role when the latter exited in March.
The under-23s’ boss took the Terras to the Hampshire Combination Challenge Cup final last week, where his side narrowly lost 6-5 on penalties to Laverstock & Ford after a 1-1 draw.
And Adams is set to meet Weymouth chairman Paul Maitland this week to discuss his future.

In the meantime, he is optimistic of fulfilling the brief left to him by Mark Molesley, Brad Asagba and Jamie Weeks.
Adams told Echosport: “At the moment, I’m hoping I’ve done what Bobby wanted and what Mark, Bradley and Jamie wanted.
“I’ll have to have a chat. There is a lack of game time for the players. I think we only played 16 league games in the end.
“All right, we had seven or eight cup games but over the course of the season you’re either training twice a week or training and then playing.
“Over the course of the season, we’ve only just finished at the end of May, we didn’t get enough games.
“We’ll have to look at a few bits but I’ve really enjoyed working with the players and for the club.”
Commenting on his upcoming meeting with Maitland, Adams admitted he will be searching for some answers regarding issues encountered this season.
“He has put the ball in my court. I don’t want to say I’m flash but that’s what he said,” Adams added.
“I’d want to sit down and iron some things out that I perhaps thought would happen this season and didn’t.
“That’s nobody’s fault, no blame culture whatsoever, it’s just probably a bit more communication would’ve helped.
“That probably comes from me to start with. I’d like to see more infrastructure but I don’t want that to come across bad.
“The football club’s main priority is the first team and I understand that because predominantly throughout my career I’ve either played or worked with a first team.
“It was different being on the other side of it. One or two times it’s been raining and they wanted to save the pitch.
“That’s revenue for the first team and I don’t want that to come across as sour grapes.
“In a nutshell, I’ll have to sit down with Paul and see what we can come up with.
“I’ve loved working with the players and it’s a brilliant club. We’ve started something but can we build on it?
“Can we put some infrastructure in to maintain what we’re doing so it builds nicely for the future? I don’t know until I talk to the chairman.”
