Billy Reid has joined Potter in leaving but Bjorn Hamberg, goalkeeper coach Ben Roberts and recruitment specialist Kyle Macaulay remain. “I just spoke to Graham five minutes ago,” Bruno revealed at the start of his first press conference in charge yesterday afternoon. “Obviously it’s been a difficult 24 hours for all of us, for the staff, for the families and now we just have to deal with the situation. “It is a sad day. A sad day for staff because Graham and Billy leaving, two top coaches, top people, top human beings. “How I see it is I have to be the most professional I can, try to help the players, guide the players to prepare the game the best we can. “If I am here right now it’s because Graham and the club, they thought it was the right step and I’m here just trying to help the club and trying to be the most professional I can.” Bruno later added: “Obviously there is a frustration because processes take time.

I have been just four years coaching but I have been 20 years involved in football. “I start really early and I have a lot of experience in changing rooms. What I will try to do is help the players, guide the players because I have been in those situation before. “Then I think I have got that feeling that I can help, especially young players that have never been in this situation before. “(We’re) seeing it as an opportunity for the players.”
