We wish to reassure all supporters and fans of the Club in Derry and elsewhere that we intend, as a Board, to protect, robustly and resolutely, the interests of our club. To that end we are working closely with our legal advisers and we intend to pursue all options available to us. In the meantime we ask all our supporters to continue to get behind the Manager and Team in this difficult time as none of us want this unnecessary distraction to have any adverse effect on the field of play."
