''I want to thank everyone who has stood behind me,'' the 68-year-old Dutchman said Sunday in a statement on the club's official website. ''This is a very special football club, with so many great people, but I feel it is the right time to do this - not for me, but for the club. I have made the decision to go after only eight games as I felt it was important to give everyone time turn things around - like we did last year. I am thankful to the chairman for understanding my feelings and I remain on good terms with everyone at the club. I wish Ellis, Lee (Congerton), all of the staff, players and of course the supporters, who made me feel so welcome here, the very best of luck for the rest of the season. I have some wonderful memories to take with me and I hope I will return to see everybody again in the future.''
Advocaat's departure was confirmed on Sunday after Sportsmail broke the story on Friday that he was set to go following Saturday's game with West Ham.
