"I spoke to Mark last week and met him on Tuesday and he's very positive. He's given me some really good vibes about what he wants to achieve and this is a very positive step for the Club.
"He did an incredible job at Swindon and he's left them in a very good state. I know the guys from Swindon wish him well.
"He's a very direct chap - you'll get no bull and I like that. I've told Mark to be straight with us, tell us what he needs, and believe me, we'll step up.
"Mark's looking forward to it and he knows he's got to work hard and help us do well in the Coca Cola Championship."
