He said, “I’ve spoke to Jason (Wilcox, sporting director) an awful lot and been working closely with him, and Omar (Berrada, chief exec) as well.

"Over the last few days, we've spoken a lot, as you'd imagine.

"The owners, the ownership group, were in and around it, so it was nice to see them and meet them yesterday and have a small chat. They were taking care of business in some ways but we were able to share a few things, and they wished us all the very best.

"It was good to see them."
