STRIKER Dean Windass has apologised to staff at the Manor Ground for his statement that he hoped the club would go into administration so that they could sell him on.
Windass said: "I didn't know that going into administration would mean staff at the club possibly losing their jobs.
"I came to the club because I thought things were going to happen. I could have stayed at Aberdeen where I still had a year to run on my contract.
"I thought it might be best for United if the club went into administration to get some money for me. But I realise some staff have been upset by the comments. I apologise to them."
Keith Cox said Windass would not be going back to Aberdeen, despite media speculation.
