“I think that’s really helped since he’s moved back from Dubai and being here with him on a day-to-day basis has really strengthened that friendship and that work friendship as well.

“He’s been very supportive, not just with players but at times a manager needs a bit of support and he’s certainly given me that.

“He’s a top-drawer chairman and a solid guy.

“I’ve got a lot of time for him and he’s been first-class in everything me and him have done since I’ve been here and I expect that to continue.”
