Supporters Trust steering committee member Jon Hale was interviewed by BBC Hereford and Worcester this morning.
When asked how serious he thought the current problems are, he replied: "Obviously Friday wasn't a great day. The rumours around teatime that the players had taken to Twitter to complain about a text they'd received and, obviously, later in the evening a statement was made by the chairman of the club.
"Seems to me there is a short term hill to climb again, £135,000, and the chairman's outlined the medium and longer term plans as being slightly rosier but I think everyone concedes that the short term problem is all we can concentrate on really."
When asked how the club got into difficulty for a second time this season, he added: "It's very easy to point fingers and to lay blame with people, but the facts are we need to find £135,000 quickly and it's how we go about that, if we can do that."
Asked whether the directors would put the money in, and specifically David Keyte, he responded: "I don't know. He's put an awful lot of money in, and an awful lot of effort, it's not about pointing fingers and laying blame. As a potential Supporters Trust that's not what we're about.
"Where the money comes from now? I think we're all waiting for a minor miracle if we're honest. There was some talk of investment, it seems that that channel has now disappeared so whether we're now in a position where the directors are now unable to put any more in I don't know."
Asked if Hereford United would be playing football next year, he added: "That's a very tough question to answer. I'd love to say 'yes, no problem' unfortunately the extend of the short term problem is we do need someone to come along and hand the club a large cheque to keep us going."
"As a potential Supporters Trust, we've got a meeting on 23rd May. We want as many Hereford United fans as possible to turn up. Come and listen to what the representatives of Supporters Direct, and Trusts from other clubs, have to say about how they run, how they involve supporters and have a greater say.
"Let's get everyone in a room and outline what a Supporters Trust can do to help the Supporters and help the football club. Let's see if we can move on from there, whatever form we're in. Let's hope it's Hereford United."
