Following the news that Hereford have appointed Aaron Downes as their new manager, chairman Chris Ammonds spoke to BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"Discussions have been on-going since we took the decision to remove Paul from his post," said Ammonds.
"We had quite a lot of applicants which is pleasing to see. It's nice to know the club still remains an attractive proposition.
"Aaron was somebody who we hadn't heard about but once he had put in a formal application we were really keen to speak to him and after discussions on Sunday we decided he was the right man for the job and he was really fired up for the job.
"I think it was important to try and give everybody some clarity to make the path forward clear.
"We were really grateful for Adam Rooney for stepping into the game on Saturday and we are really pleased Adam is to remain at the club as part of Aaron's coaching staff.
"Harry Pell is returning alongside Aaron. They are close friends, they know each other well from their time at Cheltenham Town and Aaron was clear that he really wanted to bring Harry with him.
"Harry is a lovely character as anybody who knows him will know. Hopefully he will provide a lift alongside Aaron's coaching expertise.
"The games are going to come thick and fast between now and the end of the season. I think he really wants to get his teeth into it as quickly as possible.
"I'm sure it will take a little while for him to really start to influence things and put his mark on things but equally we've still got almost half the season to go.
"There is plenty of time to turn it around and hopefully improve our form. One win could change everything, hopefully we'll get that sooner than later. We might need a little bit of patience for Aaron to make some changes and bring in some new blood but I'm sure once he has had some time with the players and got a couple of training sessions into the players we'll hopefully start to see the improvements we are all looking for.
"We have ten and a half weeks of the season left which seems utter madness given we've still got 21 games to go.
"But I think if you speak to footballers generally they would rather be playing than training so hopefully the fact that in the main we are going to be playing between now and the end of the season will turn out to be a good thing.
"We need more bodies in the squad because we are going to have to mix the team up, we are going to have to rest people.
"So one of Aaron's first tasks will be to try and add more quality, more strength to the squad.
"He's already put names forward to us when we were talking to him during the process yesterday and hopefully we will start to see that come to fruition soon.
"I think we can do this (survive). There are lots of games to go. That doesn't mean anything because you have still got to pick up the points but I absolutely have belief that we can do this and get out of trouble.
"Hopefully appointing Aaron is the first step on the way back towards the mid-table and away from the relegation zone."
