“It’s gone now. There is no point in wasting any more energy on the past.

“Our best response is to work hard on winning the title next season.

“It won’t be easy as we will still be battling against some big clubs and the financial circumstances for all clubs will be tough, but we might still be better off than most thanks to the backing of the owners.

“It would be good to know from the EFL when we can start again though. We’ve heard start dates of August 22 and September 12, but nothing has been said officially.
