It is going to be a long summer thinking about it,” he told the clubs official website, www.saintsfc.co.uk
“We will have to take a long hard look at ourselves and get this club back up and where it should be. The Stadium, the people and the fans are second to none.
“It is gutting that we won’t be playing against the best players in the world anymore but we have to correct it. We were part of that team that went down so we have got to take on the responsibility of getting them back up.
“I would just like to say sorry to the supporters. We tried to pull it off but couldn’t quite manage it."
