That is the opinion of Jersey Football Association representative games manager Iain Mackenzie who says that a decision has still not been made, one way or the other, following Bermuda’s recent request for team numbers.
Mackenzie said: ‘Football’s situation is unchanged. We are an association so we are not in a position to guarantee players’ money because legally we have no hold on them.
‘Athletics are saying the same. They are in a similar position and like football they do not have the money to put up as a deposit for accommodation.
‘What we need is some sort of legal document of commitment from the players, because who is going to take the risk without one?’
