First of all I’m very happy that the fans have voiced their opinion and that we’ve listened to them. In a strange way it’s brought the football community and pyramid together and I think that’s very important and I’m very happy. I’m very happy that all the clubs that have admitted their mistake, that this was a bad idea and the way that it came out as well.

I’ve had a very very good working relationship with Ed. The club will have to move on without him, and I’m sure Man Utd will always move on. I’ll work as long as Man Utd want me to work here and hopefully we can end the season successfully, and Ed is part of that.”
