He's told us he's happy to be back watching his club - and today's result is irrelevant:
"I'm massively relieved and happy that this sorry saga in the club's history is finally coming to an end.
"It'll be great to get back to the Mazuma and get behind the team, especially the players who stuck it out.
"Hopefully we can show our gratitude and make it a great atmosphere."
Morecambe have also announced a new signing ahead of the game.
