The fans deserve a team that fights for every point, and we are committed to building a squad that can compete at the top level,' he said.

Morrison's Role Moving Forward remains uncertain, but the chief's comments suggest that the door is open for him to continue if he chooses. 'We will support James in whatever path he takes, whether that is on the pitch or in a different capacity within the club,' he added.
