CHAIRMAN MOVES TO END SPECULATION

7th February 2005

Eddie Thompson said, "Ian McCall and I have had a long and detailed talk about a number of areas including the current league position and the manner of the exit from the League Cup. However, the continuing speculation is doing no one any good, especially as we have several crucial games coming up. The minds of the coaching staff and the players have to be on those games and those games only. We are in a difficult situation and we must get out of it through the best efforts of the current personnel.

Our season would of course improve considerably if in the next few weeks we achieved some improved league results and there is also the potential of another cup semi-final, subject to tonight's draw.

All that matters at the present time - is us all having a total focus on the games ahead and a positive series of results being achieved."
