An interview with Sertoglu on the prospects for a unified Cypriot league in ‘Inside World Football’. You get no sense of him having disowned the overall agreement...

Cypriot Football Association Chief has his say on the TC backtracking...

Replying to a question whether the CFA would be willing to return to the negotiating table and discuss changes to the document, Koutsokoumnis said the terms could not be changed because of the whims or pressure of the Turkish Cypriots political leadership.

As far as the CFA was concerned, he said that the document was valid and the arrangement would proceed on the basis of its provisions. “If the Turkish Cypriots wish to have a meeting to clarify some of the provisions, such a meeting could take place. We cannot, however, discuss the arrangement as such or the process of implementing its provisions”, he said.

“First of all, the process provides the signing of the arrangement, secondly, the approval by the general assemblies and, thirdly, the application by the Turkish Cypriot Federation to become a member of the CFA. We are not going to negotiate a change to the process, neither on the document”, Koutsokoumnis concluded.

While Dervis Eroglu has a heart attack...

Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu fuelled the controversy by saying he was convinced that Turkish Cypriot clubs would never accept being ruled by the Greek Cypriot administration.

I think Kanli has burst a blood vessel in his head. This bit made me laugh:

Sertoğlu made it into history by signing an agreement which inflicted lethal damage on the Turkish Cypriot political demands.

Anyone know what 'political demands' he means?

So we've managed to inflict 'lethal damage' to Turkish ambitions on Cyprus just by signing a football deal??

We should've done it sooner!

This serving as ro a very good xample of how a solution will effect the population, Sertoğlu has called a press conference today and will speak out on the deal struck with the CFA. Shouldnt our teams each have a vote at the CFA general assembly when selecting the Head? 42 teams is pretty large chunk of votes, who knows the next chairman could be Sertoğlu??? :wink:
