“Not really, no,” said the midfielder, when asked if the rumours had been discussed.
“As players, our full focus was on the game. We leave that sort of stuff to other people.
“You black out as much outside noise as possible and just focus on the task at hand.

But Power is hopeful that the club’s potential new owners were left impressed after a dominant performance on home soil.
“We wanted to go out and get three points and I’m sure they would have been impressed,” he admitted.
“It’s nice that they came and witnessed a win, the fans were in great voice and it was a good day.
“I’m sure that might have given them a nudge in what to do.”
