SVEN DENIES ALL

Last updated : 18 March 2003 By Editor
Sven names his squad for two qualifiers on Sunday and has
had this to say before he does:

“I've not been talking to or negotiating with any clubs -
you can ask my agent. And if Athol Still (the agent) had
talks with United, he never talked to me about it.

“If I say something I have to stand up to it. So how many
times shall I say no?”

He also said that he spoke on the phone to Fergie on the day
the story broke:

“The last time I spoke to him was after what came up in the
papers. He phoned me up,

“It was an okay conversation, a good conversation. But it's
not fair to ask what we talked about.”
