The programme for the Aston Villa game (30.04.1977) printed the following statement from Ketih Burkinshaw

"From The Manager ...

Many of our fans will have read the article by Alfie Conn, published last weekend in the Sunday Mirror, in which he expounded his own views on why we are in our present League predicament.

His comments were critical of myself and some of our players and I feel justified in stating that they contained much that is untrue and distorted.

I never cease to wonder at the way that certain sections of the press publish material of this kind without full knowledge of the facts. The players are as astonished as I am that such an article should have been published."

There were plenty of mis-naming of players during the season.
