Former Cambridge United manager 'proud' of success despite getting the sack

“Despite a run of unprecedented injuries at the start of this season the team remain just six points outside of a play off position. Once all of the key players are fit and available for selection I am positive that I would have achieved a top seven finish this season and I am therefore disappointed not to have been given the opportunity to achieve yet more success with this great football club.

I am incredibly proud of my achievements with Cambridge United. I have enjoyed living in a beautiful part of the country and I leave behind a very capable squad of players and a very strong dressing room.

I would like to thank the fans for sticking with the team and supporting me during the past three years and I take this opportunity to wish the Chairman, the CEO, the board, the players and everybody associated with the club nothing but good fortune going forward. It has been a privilege to have been part of the success of this great club over the past three years.”
