The Players and Board at Edgar Street have issued separate statements this afternoon.
In their statement, the Players: "acknowledge that our performances have been below what is needed.
This has culminated in Martin Foyle and Andy Porter losing their jobs. Although they probably have regrets and with hindsight may have done things differently, we all accept that our performances have cost them.
We were all signed by them so we all owe them that debt of gratitude. However the Chairman has made his decisions and we all now stand 100% behind Pete Beadle and Steve Jenkins."
The statement goes on to confirm that the players "haven't been paid correctly for over two months" and that "Mr Keyte has vowed full disclosure from now onwards be it good or bad."
The Board statement adds: "We must look to take the positives from the current situation, and following the two recent meetings with the players, we are pleased to have agreed to have more direct discussions and continue to improve relationships and communication with the players by setting up a weekly meeting between the Board and the player representatives.
The full statements are on the official site here (link).
'Decisions
have been made of late by the board and also Martin Foyle, with the
intention of protecting the players, however it is apparent that this
hasn't had the desired effect and we are happy to make our promise to
the players to be as open and honest as possible, and in particular to
re-confirm that all financial commitments will be met.'
Luke Graham added on Twitter: 'The statement was 100% from the players. Proud of everyone of them who are prepared to fulfil remaining fixtures. Support us'
