 Hi UK Kiwi,

I am a party to events which have included contract termination, provision of services, and matters of confidentiality. While I generally susbscribe to the modern aesthetic of robust public fan discussion, I am simply not at liberty to comment on issues here at present. I am sure you will understand.

That's not to say i don't have a few opinions. (Just as with the Ross Taylor-Mike Hesson-David White stoush, our football soap opera protagonists often get two-dimensionally cast as either comic book goodies or baddies, when the reality is there are, er, 50 shades of grey, and seemingly inconsistent actions merely reflect responses to the ever-changing football landscape.)

But in the circumstances I will reserve my comments for the next volume of my football memoirs.

Speaking of which, PDF copies of  the 462-page THE WAIKATO CHRONICLES (winner of the 2012 NZ football publication of the year) are still available at $10 from cordwainerbull@gmail.com, and copies of 260-page THE FALL & RISE OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE (A potted chronology of the twists, turns and conflicting ideas in New Zealand football since 1990) will be available next month.

Hope this helps.
