Knill nets 2 year deal

Last updated : 04 May 2006 By Bigrich.....
It was reported that a deal had been done last night, and this morning a statement on the club official website (www.themillers.co.uk) confirmed this.

Since taking over from Mick Harford in December, Knill has brought the team around from relegation certainties to be just a draw away from League 1 survival, and many fans have changed thier minds on his future after orignially not wanting him to have the job.
Replaced

The club statement said: "We feel that Alan has done a superb job in very difficult circumstances since he took over and we are delighted he has agreed to commit himself for the next two years.

"He is a very dedicated man who puts a lot of energy into his work that has seen us in with a good chance of avoiding relegation despite all the external worries, the squad he has inherited have encountered.

"The timing of this announcement will hopefully give everyone at the club a major boost just ahead of crucial game against MK Dons at Millmoor on Saturday and this just emphasises the faith we have in Alan.

Deserved

"He has accepted the job despite the fact that the club faces the possibility of a ten points deduction at the start of next season. He has stuck to his coaching principles and the team is playing the kind of football not seen here for many a year."

All at MillersMAD congratulates Alan and wishes him all the very best of luck.
