"I last spoke to Paul yesterday and I am a little disappointed that it has come to a parting of ways because he is a good manager and a good friend. I was very happy here under his tenure so I will take the team for him at Peterborough and see what happens.
"I had not really seen it coming and Paul had not really seemed unhappy here. He got on with his job even though it has been tough for everyone. When you have a bad run of results it affects everyone at a football club. We went 13 matches unbeaten and then lost three on the bounce and it is all doom and gloom again. That is probably wrong."
