“I’d like to address a couple of things that were swirling around over the weekend. I can confirm Wednesday will be Neil and Ronnie’s last game at the football club.
“I’d like to express our huge gratitude for everything they’ve accomplished over the past 7 months. Few management duos could have kept us in the Championship and they’ve solidified their legendary status. There is much love for them and they are welcome back here with open arms.
“Kevin and I were delighted when they agreed to stay on. All parties were clear it would not be a long-term appointment but would help us to establish the new regime at the club.
“We’ve made significant progress on and off the field with several key executives appointed. We are working on many projects including commercial, the academy, the stadium, and we’ve made great progress on the field thanks to Neil. He’s getting so much out of this group and we’ve seen that in recent weeks. We have great players and have seen some great results over the past couple of games.
“We feel we are ready to move forward with our long-term plans to drive the club back into the Premier League and to make a longer-term managerial appointment. We have discussed that and the timing of it with Neil, and after spending time with his coaching staff he has graciously agreed now is the time for that to happen.
“In closing I want to say my time here working with Neil as a manager I’ve learned a lot, I’m so impressed, and I’m privileged to call him a friend. We can’t thank him, Ronnie, Carl and Ian enough. Everyone at the club is going to be turning out and wishing you guys every success on Wednesday to go out on a high note as you deserve.”
