"He is currently in employment at another football club. I think there is no question that if that was the route that we wanted to go down that we could attract the right candidate. This is a big Football Club, a big football community and the supporters of this Football Club deserve us to be focussed on bringing them somebody who has the right ability, a good track record, energy, commitment, determination and alongside all of that, a true winning mentality.

"Not all footballers and not all football managers can take the pressures that go with being at a big football club. We need somebody who can and I'm confident that our number one candidate absolutely has those qualities and the right credentials for this position.

"We have researched the qualities and the experience and we've looked at suitable references, and all of the checks that you would have if you were recruiting a very senior employee in any other walk of life we've done, and we believe that we have the right person in our sights. "
