DESPERATE  BORO PRAY SANTA CAN DELIVER ALL

That was the message from straight-talking manager and former owner Jimmy Ginnelly with homeless Boro's future in the hands of a small band of backers that are providing the funds to keep things going from week to week.

The club has been locked out of its Liberty Way home by owners Arden Tigress since October 24. Rent arrears have been acknowledged but offers to clear the outstanding bill and pay for a year up front have yet to end the impasse.

Ginnelly told The NLP that he had approached board members and sponsors that he needed someone else to take the reins before that.

In November, it was announced DA Capital, described on its website as "a privately owned investment vehicle established to help the owners of owner-managed businesses find a way to exit their companies", would be taking over.

Scotland-based David Anderson was joined by Nick Thompson and Robert Tidmarsh as new directors but fans became bamboozled as the ownership of shares and status of directors bounced between Anderson and Ginnelly in the days that followed.

Within a month of taking over, it was confirmed DA Capital had withdrawn with sponsor Ian Cook reluctantly taking the lead, including on talks with Arden Tigress, a matter that is now in the hands of legal professionals.

The situation has prompted widespread concern and criticism from some sections of the fanbase plus comments from the wider Non-League community, including references.

back to an online fundraiser to boost the playing budget around a year ago.

Ginnelly described the false dawn as "very unfortunate", claiming DA Capital had "said all the right things for us all to breathe easily", including satisfying the Southern League and FA, but that promises of investment had not been fulfilled.

"As the weeks went by, as we asked about finances, it was always a deaf ear. There never seemed to be anything coming forward," said Ginnelly.
