Scarborough chairman Malcolm Reynolds was today seeking a winding-up order against Boston United in the High Court in Leeds over the outstanding payments for Paul Ellender.

Boston still owe £20,000 for the player who left Boro in August. Said Reynolds: "I have been away on business for a week and came back to find that there has been no action in the matter, so it is with some reluctance that we have taken this step to recover money which is owed to us."

Reynolds also revealed that he has consulted the Fraud Squad in informal discussions and to examine various club documents. He refused to go into details, or say to which period the documents referred. He added however: "They have been very co-operative and

helpful."
