Overall, Gilligan expressed full support for manager Philippe Clement and emphasized that the club will stand by him, even in the face of poor results. He also mentioned that transfer funds will be available in January to help strengthen the squad. Additionally, Gilligan highlighted the need for patience from the fans and reiterated that they will not interfere with the football side of things, leaving Clement in charge of all aspects of the game. I don’t see it as a long-term thing, I see it as fixing what needs to be fixed and then moving on. The club needs stability and that’s what I’m here to provide.
As for the search for a new CEO, it’s ongoing. We’re looking for the right person to come in and continue the work that has been done to bring the club back to where it belongs. It’s a crucial role and we want to make sure we get it right.
