Odd time to release a statement though at almost midnight.
Given the last few days? |

It's an absolute shambles I know that, certainly going back to the Diamandis era. |

FOLLOWING Paolo Di Canio's comments earlier today, the Board wishes to assure fans that it continues to work towards the sale of the Club and the ensuring of its long term future.
The last few days have been extremely demanding given the combination of significant on-going losses, a closing transfer window and the disappointment of not bringing in the loan players as we had wished.
The Board expects to complete the sale of the Club next week and are confident that the new owners share the same ambitions as Paolo and his team. The decisions made over the course of the last few days have not been made lightly, and in the case of the decision to sell Matt Ritchie, have been done in conjunction with the new owners.
Whilst the Board understands Paolo's desire to gain promotion and is wholly supportive of this, the Board's considerations and responsibilities extend beyond the on field activities of the team. On some occasions it is faced with difficult choices and whilst we recognise the disappointment to all caused by the sale of Matt, the Board has not shirked its duty to face up to the harsh realities of its financial situation.
We look forward to the swift resolution of these short term issues, Football League approval of the new owners and hopefully a win against Crawley.

I bet it's something we already know.
What he said. There are better ways to talk to the press, the fans, and your manager than a midnight press release... |

48 hours too late and doesn't particularly make me feel better about anything to be honest.

The French have a good saying for this sort of anti-climax: the mountain gave birth to a mouse.

Fuck me,If it was ever the time to show support and turn an away following into a home game it is now.
Paolo will be gone with anything less.
He needs passion in his life.
He has huge respect for the away support.
We all need to get there however we can and show the man the same respect.
Fuck the egg-chasing and show up or he'll be gone by Monday.......

Completely right. Wish we had a home game today, though. Time to get the scarves out, again. |
