Beresford: "I wouldn't want a penny and I'd even buy them both a drink - but both Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias really ought to come out with me for a night so I could let them know my view.
"I've watched this club and played my part in helping the club from the old First Division and playing Grimsby and Peterborough to going to places like Barcelona and swapping shirts with Luis Figo.

"Their heads will be telling them to not bother. And I couldn't argue with anybody who did that at the moment during a credit crunch as well."
