it's all going a bit tits up at Peterborough

and the highlights from Mediawatch:
Sometimes there are things that simply do not require, and indeed cannot be made funnier, by any comment from Mediawatch or anyone else.
Therefore, here are some extracts from Peterborough chairman Darragh McAnthony's statement, released on the Posh website in the early hours of this morning:
On his employees: "I am done with defending the players, previous management, current management and everyone else at the football club top to bottom."
On the Posh squad: "The team spirit from the last two years has nearly been destroyed by greed, skulduggery, tapping up and disloyalty from within and this has all occurred over the last 120 days or so, non stop and is eating away at our inner core."
On outside influences: "Every week brings another drama and it usually involves an ex-manager, a current team member and the promise of bigger wages followed by a derisory ?100k bid and all this after the player has been unsettled and offered terms behind our back."
On the squad again: "They repay the club with below par performances, temper tantrums off the field and making it clear they no longer want to play for our club when the going gets tough. Well it's time for all of these players to grow up and act like professionals."
And on his employees again: "I promised our fans success when I took over and mapped out where we wanted to go and I shall not let those that matter the most down. I only wish everyone else employed by Peterborough United felt the same."
These are just edited highlights. For the full shebang, go to the Posh website. It's sensational.
