From BBC Sport:
The charge relates to financial irregularities at the club, who have failed to confirm the payment of last season's Company Voluntary arrangement.
Crawley had gone into administration in June 2006 with debts of nearly £1.4m.
The club has also been given a £10,000 suspended fine and a transfer embargo still remains in place.
That will not be lifted until payment of their Company Voluntary arrangement has been confirmed.
Currently the club has only five eligible players - just four days before the new season kicks off.

From The Argus, by Miles Godfrey:
The club claims it has completely paid all money owed to its remaining creditors, including HM Revenue and Customs and Crawley Borough Council.
It is understood that the cash is currently with Begbies Traynor, the administrators called in during the club's tumultuous 2006/2007 season, and has not yet been distributed.
Crawley Borough Council, which is owed rental fees for use of the Broadfield Stadium, confirmed it had not received its cash yet.
However Reds owner Azwar Majeed said it was now "just a matter of formalities" before the cash was distributed.
He said: "I can confirm Begbies Traynor has been sent the money and it is now just a matter of a few formalities of crossing the Ts and dotting the Is before the creditors are paid in full."
It potentially brings to a close one of the most turbulent periods in the club's history and allows it to start next season without financial burden or the handicap of a ten-point penalty imposed by the Conference League for going into administration.
Other creditors, including former staff and players have previously received money owed to them by the club under a deal struck last year.
Under the administration agreement, creditors were paid half of all monies owed.
Fans have largely welcomed the latest development but remain cautious.
John Clement, 34, from Pound Hill, said: "I'll believe it only when I see the money has been paid in full but until then I would give it only a cautious welcome.
"It will allow us to draw a line in the sand and continue playing football. Last season was a complete write off and we only survived relegation by the skin of our teeth.
"We don't want another season like that and hopefully, if the money has been paid, we won't have to suffer another like it."
Crawley Town Football Club has also reiterated that it has not received any formal takeover approaches.
However Azwar Majeed said he would not rule out anything.
He said: "There is no takeover planned and I do not have any plans to sell now or in the immediate future.
"But I will say my door is always open to anyone potentially interested in investing or buying into Crawley Town Football Club."
The club is set to start rebuilding for the forthcoming season in the Conference League under new manager Steve Evans, the man who took Paul Gascoigne to his former club, Boston United.
It is understood he has already identified a number of players he wants to bring to the squad and the club's owners have promised him financial backing.
From BBC Sport:
The petition from HM Revenue & Customs, over unpaid taxes, was heard in the High Court on Wednesday.
The adjournment was agreed, pending the company providing outstanding documentation and paying the back taxes which are owed.
The next significant date for Crawley is a creditors' meeting on 4 December.
The Conference club have been in administration since June, causing them to be docked 10 points at the start of the season.
But the administrators announced last month that the Majeed family's SA Group had failed to fully pay its creditors - while steps were being taken to sell former chairman Azwar Majeed's flat.
From BBC Sport:
Crawley Town's owners Chas and Azwar Majeed earlier this week accepted an offer from London-based Britannia Sports Management.
But the deal has fallen through because the club were not happy certain financial commitments would be met.
A Crawley Town statement explained: 'The acceptance of this deal was based upon a number of conditions and reassurances.'
It continued: 'Failure by Mr Pearson (Britannia managing director) to provide funds for a deposit to prove his commitment to the club and fulfil his promised obligations has forced the board to regretfully announce that negotiations have ceased.
'Crawley Town Football and Social Club will not enter into further negotiations with Matthew Pearson or Britannia Sports Management.
'The Board are disappointed that this deal has fallen through but are determined to push Crawley Town Football Club forward and get back to focusing on the future successes of the team.'
Crawley continue to operate under a CVA and were hit with a 10-point deduction at the start of the season after entering into administration.
John Hollins' side has since wiped out that deficit but remain bottom of the Conference table.
From BBC Sport:
All creditors were voting on a final offer of 50p in the pound for the club from the Majeed family's SA Group - which had two previous bids rejected.
If the latest bid had been turned down, administrator Rob Sadler could have wound the club up immediately.
The bid had previously passed a vote of a committee of creditors on 10 August.
The Majeeds were in charge when the club went into administration in June with debts of nearly £1.4m.
Under Conference rules, any club which still has outstanding debts to football creditors - namely players and staff - is not allowed to take part.
On the pitch, the Red Devils began the season on minus 10 points following their move into administration - but they have already wiped out that deficit after collecting 10 points from their first five games.
From The Argus, by Claire Truscott:
The future of Crawley Town Football Club will be decided today when all creditors will decide if they will accept a payment of half the money they are owned from owners Chas and Azwar Majeed.
The Conference club could be liquidated if creditors vote to reject the offer, although two members of the original creditors' committee believe it will be accepted.
The Majeed brothers took the club into voluntary administration after admitting in March that they could not afford to pay players' wages.
A committee of four, representing the main creditors, and administrators Begbies Traynor, voted on August 10, to take the offer, known as a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), to a full vote of all creditors, with each allowed one vote for every pound they are owed.
Andy Sprott, who was part of the committee, said: 'I predict the CVA will go through but the story is a long way from reaching its conclusion.'
Another member, Ian Holman, an ex-employee at the club, said: 'Most people I have spoken to are going to vote in favour but it's a shame the Majeeds are still going to be there.
'However, everyone has to turn up and it depends how much people are owed whether they make the journey.'
The Inland Revenue, a major creditor, has consistently voted against any offer from the Majeed brothers and a sufficient number of smaller creditors in favour of the CVA must turn up if there is to be a yes vote.
A separate mysterious offer from international sports management company Europa Sports Promotions was retracted last night.
The London company, which runs soccer schools for clubs around Europe, revealed to The Argus last week that it wanted to take over and was willing to pay the creditors in full.
However, managing director Matthew Pearson said last night: 'Having discussed the situation with a number of parties, we do not feel it is the right time to buy the club at the moment.
'We want the club to survive and maintain its Conference status so we feel it is for the best if the Majeeds' bid is accepted.
'We hope we will be able to play a role in helping the club in the future but at the moment the most important thing is for the club to survive and we need everyone working towards doing that.'
The Broadfield club has debts of more than £1.8 million, with more than £90,000 owed to creditors unconnected to the Majeed brothers.
They have been offered half the amount, repayable over a set period, and will receive nothing if the club is forced to fold.
More than half the creditors must agree for a decision to be made.
The biggest creditor are players from last season, who are claiming almost £400,000 in contract compensation.
That sum has been added to the debt since creditors turned down the Majeeds' original proposal of a 25 per cent debt repayment last month.
The Inland Revenue is owed £220,000 in unpaid tax and VAT and will almost certainly vote against the offer.
There is £63,000 owed to former employees in tribunal awards, including former manager Francis Vines, and Crawley Borough Council are owed £60,000 in unpaid rent.
A spokeswoman for Crawley Borough Council said it would not comment before today's vote but in earlier rounds the council has voted in favour of acceptance and director of community services, John Thraves, has said he wants to see Conference football remain at Crawley as it was good for the town.
The Majeeds claim their company, SA Retail Limited, is owed nearly £700,000 and two businesses connected to them, SA Restaurants and SA Leisure, are owed a combined total of £105,000 for loans that they have provided to the club.
The club came within an hour of folding earlier this month after a creditors' committee turned down the Majeeds' second attempt to regain control.
Administrators announced the club had folded, before the Majeeds made their improved offer which is currently under consideration.
The creditors have been told by Begbies Traynor that there are no suitable alternatives to the Majeeds' offer and that the club will be wound up if their offer is rejected.
The creditors' committee was deadlocked on a final rescue bid from the Majeed family - but the administrator has used his casting vote to vote in favour.
The Red Devils have also been allowed to sign players by the Conference.
However, their creditors have yet to fully approve the Majeeds' offer - of 50 pence in the pound - and it must now pass a vote of all creditors.
That meeting must take place within 14 days - and if it is not approved, the Sussex club still face being thrown out of the Conference, even if they have already begun the season.
Under Conference rules, any club who still have outstanding debts to football creditors - namely players and staff - are not allowed to take part.
Administrator Rob Sadler had previously set a deadline of 1200 BST on Thursday for the final offer from the Majeeds' SA Group to be accepted or rejected - having delayed winding up the club on Wednesday in order for the creditors to review that bid.
He had also set the same 1200 deadline for potential bidders to submit offers for the assets of the club, in the event that it is wound up.
Crawley are due to start the new season with a home game against Rushden & Diamonds on Saturday.
However, if they are subsequently expelled, the league is likely to continue with 23 clubs rather than 24.
From BBC Sport:
BBC Southern Counties reports that the deadline was scrapped to allow a final bid for the club to be considered.
The Majeed family had already had two bids rejected but upped their offer to creditors to 50 pence in the pound in the final hour before the deadline.
If the club is wound up then they will lose their Conference status and must restart a minimum of two leagues below.
From Surrey Online, by Daniel Jones:
A select committee voted against the only bid, tabled by current owners the SA Group,to buy the club out of administration by a majority of three to one.
The Inland Revenue,ex-employee Ian Holman and players agent Andy Sprott decided not to accept the deal, with only Crawley Borough Council voting in favour.
Administrators Begbies Traynor will have the final say but are now obliged to place the club into liquidation.
At the time of going to press the insolvency firm were refusing to comment, saying only that a statement would be released when the decision was finalised
However,with the confirmation that creditors have rejected the deal there now appears only one outcome - the club will fold and all their Nationwide Conference fixtures will be cancelled.
It was unclear at the time of going to press whether Saturday's opening game at the Broadfield would go ahead.
John Goodwin, who had been expected to table a rival bid but withdrew at the last moment, added another twist to the tale last night when he suggested he could take control of the club.
He said: 'I was approached about an hour ago and asked to form a new club.I have been told that the creditors have rejected the Majeed bid and that the administrators are going to liquify the club.
'If this happens I will look to take control of the club.'
News of the possible liquidation will come as a crushing blow to supporters,who should be looking forward to the Reds opening game of the season against Rushden & Diamonds on Saturday, rather than mourning the end of their beloved club.
Just over a year ago the Reds were on the crest of a wave,flying high at the top of the Nationwide Conference after successfully gaining promotion the year before.
However,just 12 months on and the story could not be in starker contrast.
The SA Group,run by brothers Chas and Azwar Majeed, took over the running of the club in July 2005, purchasing Town from popular owners the Duly family.
Many thought that the extra funds that the Majeed's promised was just what the club needed to make true their dreams of League football.
However,cracks began to show in the supporter-owner relationship when Francis Vines was replaced as manager by John Hollins.Vines was a fans favourite and had led the club to it's highest ever league position.
Big name signings Daryl Clare and Tony Scully were brought in, but despite the outlay of money the Reds slipped down the table and gates dropped.
The first signs of the extent of the problem came in February of this year.The Majeed brothers announced that wages to club employees were to be slashed in half due to the withdrawal of funds from a silent investor.
Wage payments to players have been sporadic ever since and a series of tribunal payouts to former employees,including Vines,followed.
The end of the season came and income through gate receipts dried up.With debts rising and income all but non-existent, the SA Group placed the club into administration with debts of £1.4million.
Several possible solutions were thrown about. But one after the other they fell by the wayside and the Reds were left with the mess they now find themselves in.
Last night those in the know were remaining tight lipped with the club refusing to confirm or deny the news.
Hollins,who was preparing to take a side to Oakwood for his side's final pre-season friendly also preferred to wait, but admitted: 'It doesn't look good. I can't talk until it's been confirmed.
'I'll continue to work until told otherwise,we're professionals and we have an obligation with Oakwood.'
A spokesperson at the Football Association confirmed fears that the club would go into liquidation if no offer was accepted. It would drop out of the Conference and lose its FA membership.
From The Argus:
The club is in administration, with debts of £1.4 million, and asked creditors to accept a quarter of what they are owed in a deal which would see brothers Aswar and bankrupt Chas Majeed retain control.
But the Inland Revenue has refused to back down on a £250,000 tax demand and the Majeeds could be ousted as early as next Tuesday, when creditors owed half a million pounds meet to vote on the proposals.
Revenue spokesman Bob Niblett said: 'We have many concerns, among them the fact that from the time of their acquisition of the company the present directors have operated a policy of withholding payment of large sums of Crown money in order to finance the club's activities.'
Insolvency practitioner Malcolm Fillmore is representing a number of creditors, including sacked former managing director Steve Duly and manager Francis Vines.
He said: 'In order for administrators Begbies Traynor's deal to go through at least 50 per cent of the creditors must agree.
'The tax authorities are owed about a quarter of a million, which gives them about a 50 per cent of the share of the vote.
'It's hugely significant that they have said they will vote against.
'Steve and Francis are owed £50,000 between them and will also vote against, along with a significant number of others, taking us well above the required 50 per cent.
'I'm certain these proposals will not go through.
'The Majeeds claim they are owed £850,000 but their vote will not count ultimately under insolvency rules because they are what is termed connected creditors.'
In that event, Begbies Traynor admits its only options are to either sell the club or go into liquidation.
Only selling the club would raise money for creditors because Crawley Town has virtually no assets.
Crawley Town's supporters trust is ready with a six-figure bid to buy at least a significant stake. Meanwhile the 'secret investor' that withdrew financial backing from Crawley Town leading to the club's demise is today revealed as another Majeed-run company.
Former chairman Chas Majeed announced in February he had been forced to slash players' wages by 50 per cent and put the squad up for sale due to the retreat of an investor.
He refused to name the investor but said the players' attitudes and poor performances on the pitch had led to the withdrawal.
The Majeeds have told the administrators the investor was SA Restaurants, part of the family's SA Group of businesses.
Formed in August last year, a month after the Majeeds bought the club from John Duly, Companies House records reveal the firm's sole director is their father Abdul Majeed, 64.
The headquarters of the company is 37 to 39 Church Road, Burgess Hill, which is also the home of the Majeeds' SA Retail firm and Bar Cena.
The nature of the business is not listed although the Majeeds run two restaurants in Crawley, Cubana and Bar Lusso.
Abdul Majeed lives in Goring Road, Worthing, an address also given by club chairman Aswar Majeed, 30.
Along with Chas Majeed, 37, Abdul was previously a director of off-licence chain Mulberry Wines, forced into compulsory liquidation in April 2004 and subsequently bought by Aswar.
From January this year, a month before the alleged withdrawal of financial support, Abdul Majeed was listed as a director of Crawley Town.
Begbies Traynor is not discussing the club and the Majeeds could not be contacted.
From The Argus, by Rob Hustwayte:
Season ticket holder Sam Jordan, 18, wants dozens of fans to turn out for a demonstration outside the Majeeds' other businesses in Crawley on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Mr Jordan, a supervisor at Asda, said: 'I've been planning this for a while because I am disgusted at what has happened to the club under the stewardship of Azwar and Chas Majeed.
'The supporters trust has been asking me to hold off and I did. But last week I gave the Majeeds seven days to leave the club.
'They are still there so we will be protesting outside the Ja Ja Bar, Bar Lusso, Cubana restaurant and their new hairdresser's in the High Street.
'We want to make as many people as possible aware of what they have done to our club and ask them to reconsider spending money at the Majeeds' other businesses.'
Mr Jordan and a growing band of like-minded fans will wave placards and hand posters to passers-by explaining why they are protesting.
Crawley Town went into administration two weeks ago with debts totalling £1.1 million.
Some £400,000 is owed to the Inland Revenue, players, former staff and other suppliers while the Majeeds claim they are entitled to claim back £700,000 they say they have invested in the Nationwide Conference club.
Players were called to a meeting with administrators Begbies Traynor on Monday and offered three weeks' wages. None has been paid their salaries since April or their bonuses since January.
The Majeeds claim the club's financial problems began when an unnamed investor withdrew funding due to the team's poor league form.
An investigation by The Argus revealed chairman Chas Majeed was a bankrupt.
Information received by The Argus this week revealed creditors would be asked to vote on a financial rescue package which will mean they are paid just a quarter of what they are owed.
If at least half of them refuse, Begbies Traynor could be forced to sell the club to the highest bidder.
Mr Jordan said: 'We want the Majeeds out of our club and it's up to all fans to make that clear to them.'
The Majeeds were unavailable for comment.
From The Argus, by Rob Hustwayte:
Chas Majeed, 36, has told the Football Association he is quitting as chairman after revelations in The Argus that he is bankrupt.
But the club denied reports he has resigned completely, saying in a statement: 'Chas will continue to work regularly at the stadium, demonstrating his passion and commitment to Crawley Town.'
The statement did not say who would be replacing Chas as chairman but it is thought the club would now be run by his brother and sole-owner Azwar, 30, who, himself, is before the courts on an assault charge.
It also emerged yesterday that the Football Conference has placed an embargo on transfer activity at the club because the Majeeds have not been paying players' wages.
If squad members decide to leave, the club would not be allowed to replace them with paid players.
The brothers are likely to face the wrath of fans at Saturday's match against Cambridge United as supporters plan a 'red card' protest.
The FA challenged Chas Majeed to prove he is a fit and proper person to run a football club following our scoop that he was declared insolvent in May 2004 and has not been discharged.
It is against FA rules and illegal for a bankrupt to hold a position of power at a club.
An FA spokesman said: 'Mr Majeed replied that he could not complete such a test because he was an undischarged bankrupt.
'He informed us he had subsequently ceased his position as chairman of Crawley Town and withdrawn from any directorial role at the club. He can still work at the club but not in a directorial role.
'We will monitor the situation but no further action is being taken at this stage.'
Azwar appeared before magistrates in Worthing on Tuesday and denied assaulting Martyn Grainger, 19, in Worthing last September.
The case was adjourned until April 25. A more serious charge of grievous bodily harm was dropped.
Any criminal conviction would be unlikely to affect Mr Majeed's status as the owner of the club.
The Football Conference refused to comment on their transfer embargo on Crawley Town but PFA spokesman Simon Barker, a former Queens Park Rangers player, said: 'I spoke to a group of players and the club and we are trying to find a way forward to ensure the players' contracts are honoured.
'At the moment they are not being paid and it is testament to their professionalism that they are continuing to serve the club and win games.'
In a statement, the club promised to pay the wages and repeated its claim that the financial problem was caused by the withdrawal of a silent investor last month.
The Majeeds announced they were to slash the wage bill by 50 per cent and sell the entire squad.
The statement said: 'The financial situation has been as much of a challenge for the management team as it was for the players to fight their way up from the relegation zone.
'The players' welfare has always been the prime concern of the owners.
'Despite the best efforts to attract potential investors, no additional finances have been generated for the club.'
Crawley Town assured fans Mr Majeed's bankruptcy was an administrative error and he simply needed to apply through the courts to be discharged.
But his discharge has been suspended indefinitely and The Argus understands his creditors would fiercely oppose any application by Mr Majeed.
Supporters are now united behind calls to oust the Majeeds, who run the club through the SA Group.
One fan said: 'Hold your red cards high with pride, get SAG out but support our team and get our club back and restore accountability with our fans.'
A supporter, who is organising the protest, said: 'It's good to see the FA is on to the situation but the fact remains Azwar is still in charge and we think Chas will still be involved behind the scenes.
'The Majeeds did not realise that the fans are the real owners of this club and we will be there long after they have gone, which will hopefully be sooner rather than later.'
Many supporters would prefer the club to be forced into administration and drop down the leagues than the Majeeds to carry on.
From The Argus Sport, by Rob Hustwayte:
Chas Majeed, real name Shafqat, 36, was declared insolvent at Brighton County Court in May 2004 and has never been discharged from bankruptcy.
Sussex Police and the Football Association have launched an investigation into our findings about Mr Majeed, which have also been passed on to the Department for Trade and Industry (DTI).
The club could end up being suspended from the league or fined under FA regulations if he is found to be involved in the management of the club.
It is a criminal offence for an undischarged bankrupt to be concerned in 'promoting, forming or managing a limited company, or acting as a company director, without the court's permission, whether formally appointed as a director or not.'
Mr Majeed has been described by the club as both a director and chairman of Crawley Town since taking over last summer, even though the club is officially owned solely by his brother Azwar, 30.
Our revelations come after the club announced its intention to slash the players' wage bill by half and put the entire squad up for sale, which horrified Crawley Town fans.
Chas Majeed could not be contacted by The Argus yesterday but we confronted Azwar with our findings.
He at first denied Chas, of Goring Road, Worthing, was bankrupt and claimed he had been discharged.
When corrected Azwar said it was irrelevant because his brother was the chairman and not a director of the company.
Chas Majeed is not listed as a director at Companies House. Azwar is listed as the sole director.
After being told that was still against the law if he was involved directly or indirectly in management, Azwar claimed HE was the chairman and that Chas was just an employee, 'dealing with the media, doing day to day stuff.'
But The Argus has obtained a press release from the Nationwide Conference club's own website in which Chas is referred to as chairman and copies of match-day programmes which list him as a director.
Mr Majeed added: 'I can't answer for Chas's personal affairs, but I'm the one who makes the decisions at the football club. He is on the payroll.'
FA rules state anyone who has been the subject of a Bankruptcy Order is barred from holding a position of power at a football club.
Directors must pass a test to establish that they are a fit and proper person. If they fail to do so the club could be suspended from the league or fined. That stretches to anyone exercising any control of the club, regardless of whether or not their name is registered under the Companies Act as a director.
An FA spokesman confirmed Azwar Majeed had passed the test but he could not comment on Chas. He said: 'The situation about Chas Majeed has been brought to our attention by The Argus and we have begun an investigation. It would be unfair to comment further at this stage.'
The news follows revelations in The Argus that Azwar Majeed also had involvement in two companies forced into liquidation.
Trustee in bankruptcy in Mr Majeed's case, Louise Brittain, of Baker Tilly, said she could not discuss the details of how much he owes or to whom.
Crawley insolvency practitioner Malcolm Fillmore, of Atherton Bailey, said: 'It is very unusual that a bankruptcy discharge is suspended indefinitely like this.
'It suggests the trustees, whose job it is to shore up his assets on behalf of his creditors, are not getting the information they require from Mr Majeed about his assets.
'I would be very worried if I was a Crawley Town fan about the Majeeds' stewardship and I would be looking as to whether some alternative directorship can be achieved.'
The Majeeds paid £547,000 when they bought Crawley Town as a business opportunity from John Duly last year, payable in instalments over a number of years.
The brothers claim to have sunk £800,000 into the club since.
Azwar Majeed says the club has been forced into cutting the wage bill because he was paying 95 per cent of salaries from his own pocket after a number of 'silent investors' pulled out because of the team's poor league form.
Mr Duly's son Steve, who was managing director of the club until last November, said: 'As far as my father was concerned Azwar was going to be the new owner and director, and it is only in recent months, since we have left the club, that Chas has been described as a director and now the chairman. Azwar passed the FA test and we left it to our accountants to carry out checks on the history.'
Gil Roberts, a public relations consultant hired by the Majeeds, said yesterday that, although Chas was the chairman, he exercises no control over the finances of the football club and operates only on the orders of his brother. She was not aware of the law and FA regulations that state it is irrelevant whether or not he is a named director. She said: 'Azwar is the sole director. It's him who carries out the decision making.'
She could not comment on the fact Chas has been described as a director in the club programme.
From The Argus, by Tom Gurney:
The players are still owed their February salaries and boss John Hollins admitted he does not know which of them will turn up for tomorrow's home game against Conference leaders Accrington Stanley.
There is likely to be a mass exodus of players, some of whom are under contract until the end of next season.
The decision puts the club in breach of contract and they could face action from the PFA who are monitoring developments.
The players were handed a letter detailing the wage cuts before Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Gravesend and they had face-to-face talks with Majeed at Broadfield Stadium yesterday.
Majeed says that the club will carry on and insisted:
* The club will stay fulltime and will not go into administration
* He does not intend to sell up
* The club has a long term future.
Majeed says his company, The SA Group, has invested £800,000 since buying Crawley last summer.
He said: 'It is a mess and I have to clear it up. It would be fine if we were just paying 20 per cent of the wages but at the moment 90 per cent of the bills go on wages.
'There are a lot of players who are just here for the cash.
They don't care about the football or their careers. They are here because we pay good wages for 52 weeks of the year.
'I am disappointed with what has happened but I have to get this club right and I will do the best I can.'
Majeed claimed that there were financial problems before he arrived but also admits making mistakes.
He added: 'Some of the problems were already here and some started when we took on the club and we were wrongly advised. We signed some of the players on big contracts which has resulted in this happening.
'Running a football club is a different business altogether. Some of it is my own fault but I've learnt the lessons the hard way.'
One senior player, who didn't wish to be identified, said some of his team-mates were in tears at yesterday's meeting.
He said: 'It was horrible because you're talking about players losing their living.
'A couple of the lads were in tears and were wondering how they could go home and face their wives because they won't be able to pay the mortgage this month.
'One of the others has had to raid his child's savings to pay the bills.
'People have been critical of the side this season which is fair enough because the performances haven't been good enough but this is the other side of football.'
