Michael Duff makes tough decision to leave but ready to become a manager

 Michael Duff admits ending his lengthy Turf Moor stay is a wrench but feels the opportunity to launch his managerial career with former club Cheltenham Town is too good to miss.

 Duff is leaving the Clarets after 14 years as player and coach to take over at the League Two Robins.

He has been outstanding for us over the years. I wish him all the best back at Cheltenham. Who knows what will happen in the future. He may well be back.

A truly fabulous servant to the club, I really hope he does well at Cheltenham, I can't see why he won't. Good Luck Duffo and thank you for all your years of loyal service.

Fantastic move for him and he will always be welcomed back at BFC. No doubt there will be a pre-season friendly in the future. I hope he has every success there.
