Speaking after the final game of the campaign, he told: “It’s time to move and to create a new team that gets people talking about the team of 2020-21. That’s what football is.

Charlie Mulgrew scored 30 goals across two seasons from centre half, and yet the club has to move on and the team has to evolve. When I sit them in the office and have a chat to them, we’re speaking as friends really, two guys.”
