Statement From Darragh MacAnthonyPosted on: Wed 15 Jun 2011 'During the past few weeks I have been the subject of a number of articles in newspapers including The Mail on Sunday, The Sunday World, The Guardian and The Mirror, The Mail and World portrayed me as being behind a big swindle of £13 million pounds, all without any foundation whatsoever. These articles were all based on a claim being brought to court in Madrid by lawyer Antonio Flores. It was clear to me from the beginning as I mentioned in my previous blog that the purpose of these articles and claims by Flores was to make me pay up, the newspapers took the bait. As chairman of Peterborough Football Club I am aware of the responsibilities to the fans and supporters, players and everybody associated with the club. I know how damaging these types of articles can be hanging over me and the business of running the club. Today I can announce that the claim Flores presented in court in Madrid on 3rd June was rejected/thrown out on 7th June, Flores was notified on the 10th June. It took 4 days for the court to reject the claim. I want to thank all the people who supported me including the fans and a number of journalists who could see it clearly for what it was, a hatchet job. I am in communication with my lawyers regarding these articles and the newspapers concerned.' Darragh MacAnthony. www.theposh.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10427~2376890,00.html

Good on him. About time the press learned to tell a proper story that was invesdtigated by them and reported truthfully. Hang on, I'm talking about the tabloids, honesty and integrity dont exist.

It's not that Gianni NEVER makes a good signing....
Of course any one of us...if we throw enough money and make enough signings - there's a pretty good chance that some of our choices would work out

I have no doubt that we'll make signings this summer.
The real question is WHO will make the signings...
And we'll be able to make a pretty good guess by the players who come in.
