EVANS ANGERED BY CLUB'S PLIGHT

Boston boss Steve Evans admits his side have it all to do to preserve their League status.

Boston United boss Steve Evans admits his side have it all to do to preserve their Football League status.

The cash-strapped League Two side occupy one of the two relegation places after Saturday's crushing 3-0 defeat to Hereford at Edgar Street.

Evans claims their battle against a return to the Conference has been hampered by a transfer embargo on the club.

"The destruction of our team was not in the second half on Saturday, it was on transfer deadline day when we were refused permission to bring players in on loan," Evans told the local press.

"But what do we do? Do we blame people who are looking to come into the club or at the top of the club? There can't be a blame culture with three games to go. Those issues will be raised in the summer when some people will have to explain to the Boston public what has happened."

Meanwhile, assistant manager Paul Raynor says the club's failure to pay their players' wages has had a knock-on effect on their performances.

The club, who have £1million debts, have not paid their players and staff for March and Raynor says he has no idea if they will be paid for April.

"Not being paid for such a long time now is starting to be a problem for some of the players and in turn, it obviously effects them greatly.

"However, the gaffer (Steve Evans) has been brilliant and has the boys focused.

"The team is giving everything it has and with a little luck, we will retain our Football League status."
