Dundalk FC owner Brian Ainscough has released the following statement about the club’s financial situation.
There are a lot of reports out there that the club is experiencing financial difficulties. Unfortunately, those reports are true.
I was hoping to secure investment in August but, for various reasons, that did not come through.
I am working hard to keep it going but my immediate concern now is that the club can carry on for the remainder of the season.
I am actively seeking investment and I am exploring all possibilities about the ownership of the club to ensure that happens.
I will continue to speak to any interested parties and I remain fully positive that we can secure the injection of cash that we need to keep us going.
Regarding wages, I can confirm that there was a delay in paying the wages last week.
I am aware of the distress that this caused our players and staff and I would like to assure them that this was a temporary issue which will be resolved in the coming days.
I want to thank our players, staff, supporters and the wider community for their support and patience at this time and want to let them know that we are working extremely hard to turn this situation around.
