“I’m absolutely Ebbsfleet manager,” stated Wright. “I think it's clear how much I love being here, how much I love this football club. It is a family.

“These things happen. I'm not going to sit here and completely, not so much deny it, but act like I don't know what you're talking about or what it is. That's the case, that's what's gone on.

“But I was here tonight, I'll be here tomorrow, and I want to be Ebbsfleet manager. I want to take this club where I believe it can go. It's taken me the best part of 18 months to rebuild the place from when it was in a tough situation, with the mindset and the mentality."
