A Selection Issue

[David G Congalton]

There is a truly ugly rumour going around that a commercial interest has to some level dictated the choice of players this year.

Chris I am not aware of any such commercial interest dictating player choice.

I am not a selector but I am dealing with all the financial aspects of the Liverpool event, in addition to my duties as Finance Director and I was certainly not advised that a payment was forthcoming from any commercial interest in relation to the selection of a player.

If you or anyone else has more actual facts than I seem to have then please e-mail them to me and I will discuss them with the executive board.
