Done Our Best For The Club And The Fans - Chairman

Asked if he expected United to get their points back today, Ken Bates told the YEP: "You can never tell. You fear the worst and hope for the best. Whatever happens, we have done our best for the club and the fans."

He also said he had no plans for a special celebration if this evening's news from London was positive. "It will be business as usual, I've got a dinner with a potential sponsor to attend."
