Daniel Levy says the club is at an exciting point in its history with the construction of its new stadium nearing completion.
“Extraordinary levels of financial and human resource have seen significant progress on capital projects, with schemes underway at both the new stadium site and our training centre,”:Levy said.
He added: “As custodians of the club we are ever-conscious of the need to ensure the future stability of the club whilst managing its growth.We are in an historic period for the club and there is a growing sense of excitement. There will, however, be many challenges in the coming months as we near the latter stages of the construction of the new stadium and its opening.
