The club have today rewarded the pair for their unbeaten spell at the Valley Parade helm. The academy duo, who have picked up 10 points from a possible 12, will stay in charge until further notice – and be given the final say on who comes in or goes out next month. Chief executive Ryan Sparks said: “Mark and Conor have done a tremendous job in turning around our fortunes over the past two weeks. “It is important they, our supporters and our partners have clarity, and we feel this provides it. “Mark and Conor fully understand what we are trying to build and are excited about playing a big part in that.
