“I stand by my opinion that Rene did not handle things the right way and there were other issues that are best left unsaid.”
Nicholls was pleased with the effort shown in two away wins at Wisbech and Diss that followed Swann's departure.
“The players fought for everything and the team spirit was excellent,” said Nicholls, who is looking to carry on working with manager John Clarkson in 2007/08.
“John has been like a breath of fresh air and I am very pleased with what he has done.
“I can work with John and hope he will continue into next season.
“We both joined Wanderers last
summer and I think we have taken the club a stage further.
“We have come out of the Rene Swann saga stronger for the experience.”
