There's been another twist in the York City takeover saga today.
After the Supporter's Trust revealed it's provided £50,000 to pay staff and player wages for March on Friday, the chairman's today responded.
Glen Henderson says he'll continue to fully support the club even if a buyer for his shares isn't found by the deadline of Tuesday.
He's also still intending to sell to what he's calling the most suitable buyer:
"After the public statement made by York City Supporters’ Trust in the media and on the radio on Friday (March 31st), I would like to put the minds of all York City FC fans at rest.
"Please be assured that I fully intend to financially support the football club if the Supporters’ Trust are unable to secure a buyer by midnight on Tuesday 4th April 2023.
"Moving forward, my shares in the club will remain up for sale, hoping to secure the most suitable buyer for the football club.
"In the meantime, I hope everyone can get behind Mikey and the team throughout the run-in."
The Supporters Trust had called for more time to get a deal with a prospective buyer across the line.
