Wadsworth said: "All we have done in the past few weeks is patch it up, but we are in a bit of a corner now. I'm worried about the immediate future. Brooks is very ill, we have no direct contact with Brooks. Everything is through Craig, his son, and it has been a tough call for Craig. We have got no financial assistance from that corner because Brooks is ill. If his illness is going to be long term then he has every right not to be worrying about a football club next season. What we do hope is that we can cobble it together to get through this season so there is a graceful withdrawal if necessary. But our major hope is that he gets better and picks up the reins again, because without him we are in a very difficult situation." This fear of financial instability is nothing new to Wadsworth following similar experiences as assistant boss at Norwich in 1996 and at Huddersfield. He said: "I was unfortunate to be manager at Huddersfield when the players weren't paid for three months. Some directors didn't understand why they weren't playing well. It's real tough time, I have been in this situation and it's really difficult. My concern is for the workforce and this group of players, because they have been magnificent. We haven't played well but they put a shift in. I cannot, cannot, cannot fault them because they have been magnificent and they have a great doubt in their minds as well." | |||
