"Well that's what they said. I think it sums up Niall really, that's the kind of man he is, he's an honest bloke. It's not just a business to him; he actually cares about the lads he brings into the club, and I'm obviously very grateful to him for that.

I know things change, but hopefully they won't. It'd look very bad for them now if they didn't."
