“They’ve been brilliant. The attitude and application has been top drawer and I’ve thanked them all for that.
“There’s always tough decisions to be made at this stage of the season when contracts are coming to an end, but ultimately that’s football and I’ve got to take this football club in a different direction.
“I’m sure that some will now be looking forward to a new challenge elsewhere and I wish each and every one of them all the best for the future.”
