"It is a really big challenge but one that I think should be relished so I can't wait to get started.

“The number of applicants and the quality of applicants for this particular position says it all really – this is one of the biggest clubs in this division, if not the biggest in terms of support, potential and history.

“We know how much it means to the supporters to get back to where they were want to get back to so we’re going to do everything we can to try and make it happen.”
