The chairman is happy, and I am happy. I am 110 percent sure I will sign for Boston United.

It was a big relief off my shoulder.

It feels good, I'm excited. I know it's Kettering Town.

Sammy Lee has a coaching course coming up and I want to go and prove myself as a coach, as I wanted to at the start of the season, and hopefully in the future as a manager.

Kevin has done a tremendous job here and now it's a matter of trying to work together and move the team forward. We want to give the supporters something to look forward to and get them in the Football League.

I've left on professional terms. I just think I needed to extend my career on the coaching side.

Wayne Rooney is a fantastic player who wants to win every game. It is his determination which is coming to the fore. Unfortunately, things like that happened to me many years ago when I had a go at the referee. I did daft things and I once got booked for showing a ref the red card. But the rules have changed now, and if you applaud the ref that is what happens.

It feels good, I am excited about what is ahead of us.
