Waterford owner Richard Forrest doesn’t want speculation over a potential club sale distract from their promotion tilt which continues at the RSC against Bray Wanderers on Friday under new management.

Danny Searle takes charge of his first match, assisted by Gary Hunt and David Breen, whose caretaker spell yielded six consecutive wins to keep the third-placed team on the heels of Cork City and leaders Galway United.
