I would like to thank those fans who have pledged their support to myself personally and to the club in general,

I am determined to see the job through.

Without wishing to prejudge the criminal investigations and our own club investigation, I am deeply concerned about the actions of a minority of my players.

Half our problem last season was that we leaked too many goals, so I decided we needed more solidity and leadership at the back,

I think in my heart of hearts that had a big bearing on it,

We have beaten off a lot of competition from other clubs to secure Martin's signature.
