"We enjoy the training and really look forward to the games, and that’s all credit to them. It makes sense from a continuity point of view to keep him on because he knows the club and the players and it is really important that he has the backing of the players because we appreciate the job that he has done so far and I am sure he will be a leading contender." “It makes it even more important that we finish the last three games well because we want to do well for ourselves and the manager who has put faith in us by allowing us to get the ball down and play and create chances that way.”
