TOUGH TIMES FOR STARS

KING’S Lynn owner Keith Chapman has urged supporters to back the club following the shock departure of manager Alex Brady.

Chapman admits he had intended to fully hand over control of the Stars but must now take charge again from this Thursday’s Sports Insure Premiership clash with Wolverhampton.

He said: “If ever there’s a time for everyone to come together for the good of the club, it has to be now.

“This is a situation I never envisaged, I wasn’t going to be running the club, but with Alex having taken his decision I’ve had to step back in to ensure we keep running. But I have to stress things are far from easy or straightforward.

“This is now one of the most critical periods we have faced, and especially after a great performance from the team at Belle Vue on Monday, this is the time to get behind us – it’s absolutely essential for our future.”
