Gary Brabin is planning for the season ahead with Cambridge United.

Chairman George Rolls told cambridgeunited.com this evening that Brabin will not be joining Blackpool, who were granted permission to interview the U's boss about their vacant managerial post.

"Gary and I met this afternoon and I'm delighted he's staying," Rolls confirmed. "Hopefully he will lead our push for promotion next season and he is in the process of meeting the players and planning for the new season."

Brabin himself insists it is business as normal after spending the day in meetings with players and the Chairman.

"I won't be going to Blackpool, I'm in work as usual and I've had players in today sorting things out for next season," he told the website. "I'm speaking to the players in a certain order and I'll have more in tomorrow and I'll be speaking to the others on the phone in preparation for next season.

"I'm also having numerous meetings with the Chairman and that will continue over the next few days as we tidy up things from the end of the season and prepare for the new one."
