I think I have replied to that question already. It is not a case of "as you were". Things have changed dramatically since yesterday. We have a declaration from the board and the president of the FAI that when a new structure has been put in place - he has put a date of July or before on it - it is the intention that the existing board will step down to allow for a new board to be constituted in the best interests of football. That is not a case of "as you were". It is a long way from where we were yesterday and a week, two weeks or three weeks ago. I welcome that statement.
