According to the BBC Northern Ireland website today, Linfield are seriously considering their future in the Setanta Sports Cup if the games are played on a Saturday next year. They also are questioning the costs involved in taking part.
Anyone want to offer Mr Jeffreys a sour grape;)
I'd rather hand him his p45Quote:

“I’ve always said I’d like that a competition of this magnitude could be integrated into the seasons of both leagues a little better with games being played on a Saturday.”
The comments on the BBC are attributed to Linfield FC Club Chairman, Jim Kerr, not David Jeffrey.
Simple Minds does spring to mind.
Really? Always thought he was a top manager (from my limited knowledge of IL football)Quote:

They probably have a point about allocation of prize money though. Wouldn't be oppossed to a knock-out system myself either.
