Gold apologises over Barton and Austin transfers

|

david-goldDavid Gold has apologised for the controversies that marked the Irons summer transfer window.

Comments concerning Charlie Austin’s alleged “injuries” and Joey Barton’s disappointment over his move to the club that broke down at the eleventh hour are clearly still talking points within the game – and among fans.

And Gold was keen to pacify anybody who had been upset by any remarks made during a radio broadcast on talkSPORT.

He said: “I wish it hadn’t happened. I apologise to anybody who is upset – that was not our intention. We are involved in a very emotional game.

“I am really sorry if anybody upset – that is all I can say.”
