Video: Gray and Penney in charge

YORK City's new manager Martin Gray and sporting director Dave Penney have been introduced to the media at Bootham Crescent this afternoon.

"This is the right club at the right time in my career," said Gray. "It's a Football League club and it's our job to take this club back into the Football League. We have been given a great opportunity by the chairman. We have only one aim this season which is to get promotion.

"The club has good players but we have identified certain aspects we can improve," he added. "We will be looking to strengthen straight away and will be working hard to get one, two, or three players in for the weekend.

"And this club's fanbase is a massive piece of armour for any manager to have in his locker."

Penney commented: "It's a different role to what I am used to. I will look after the football side of the club and try to improve every department. I will use my experience to help Martin and, hopefully, we can get this club moving forward.

"This club shouldn't be in this level. You have got to get over that and get the cycle going back up - build on confidence, build a team, get it playing at a high tempo, and give the supporters something to shout about."
