DEAN Holdsworth has called for a swift end to the boardroom issues which continue to fester at the Macron Stadium.

Ken Anderson’s efforts to buy Holdsworth’s 40 per cent stake and become sole owner of the club hit unforeseen problems last week.

Fans’ concern over the financial present and future at Wanderers has mounted and Holdsworth issued a statement this afternoon to outline his own disappointment at the state of affairs.

“Over recent weeks there have been many published articles highlighting certain issues within the club,” he said, via his company Sports Shield. “It would preferable to all that the current situation be resolved and that is what I plan to achieve. However, until that time, I believe that the constant need for press attention and making ‘headlines’ for certain people is not benefiting the manager, the team, the fans or any of the people who work at the club. They have all been through so much and this will not help.

“I have read reports and stories, some that are factually wrong in cases, that are of no help to anyone. There are of course confidentiality agreements in place as standard practice and they need to be adhered to. Washing the club’s business in newspapers is not the professional way.

“We will continue to work to secure the football club’s future. In the meantime, it would be far better in my opinion, that the team make the ‘headlines’, the manager and his staff have done a great job so far with the players and long may it continue.

“As always, stronger together.”
