Pellegrini is due to arrive back in England this week after being given time off to return to Chile and Brady has given her full backing to the 64-year-old as he attempts to turn the club's fortunes around.

"It hasn't happened yet but I have complete faith that things will soon start to turn our way. The most important thing is to stick together.
