The gaffer has great desire to get us out of the league. "I always said that if I was going to drop down the division that it would have to be for someone who was going to be contending for the title, and I'm satisfied that is going to be the case here. "I've got a lot of experience in this league so hopefully I can help this club get back into the Football League. "I was injured at the back end of last season at Mansfield when Tranmere played at Field Mill, but the support from Tranmere at that game was unbelievable so I know it's a massive club and I'm looking forward to getting started." --------------------- |
