"We are going to live within our means - and we have no choice about that because we do not have a sugar daddy like Wigan.
"I have always said that if someone wants to put £25 million into the club then they can be chairman!
"That has not happened and even though we will lose a lot of revenue through relegation, we will stay on a strong financial footing.
"Players cannot walk away and the fact their wages are cut means we only have to sell if the price is right. There will be no fire sale or easy pickings here!
"We will lose some of our older players and the next generation of youngsters will come into the squad.
"And most importantly of all we will ensure there is still a club for the next generation of supporters.
"We will major on self-improvement and work with the very promising raw material we have here.
"We are spending £1 million on the training ground to give the players the very best facilities to maximise their potential.

"We have fantastic fans here and I am sure |
