MATCH QUOTES

"I didn't know why the previous talks had broken down [between Ken McNaught and Ron Saunders over a new contract], but we know each other's feelings after our chat today. I think he is keen to stay with us and I am sure we can offer him as much, football-wise, as any other club.” Tony Barton.
