He also insists that although relegation would still have serious footballing implications, it has beem budgeted for: "The new board had to take into consideration a real possibility of going down, and they've budgeted accordingly. There's basically two budgets and it's not as if you've got to start rethinking if we go down. There are five massive home fixtures, all winnable, and obviously if we were to lose this one tomorrow the pressure would be piling up.
Speaking about Geoffrey Richmond's involvement, Lorimer told Sportsweek yesterday: "There's been a little bit of a witch-hunt about Geoffrey. His intentions are honourable and they've rescued the club, so what more do people want? There were five so-called syndicates in at the beginning of all this who all dropped out. If it hadn't been for this one, where would we have been? Administration and then goodness knows what happens. They've done a great job staying the course."
