Burchnall said “I want to thank Dale (Vince) for giving me the opportunity to manage in the Football League.
“The challenge was greater than I could have thought coming in. I have learnt a lot though.
“For the fans, I am sorry that I couldn’t make it work and that they didn’t see the best of my team. I hope for them the team turns it around. They deserve a team in League One.
“My extended thanks to the players, staff and everyone at the club for their efforts – I wish you all the best for the future.”
