Auckland complaint

A second regional federation has withdrawn its support for New Zealand Football’s executive committee, as the fallout from the Muir review continues. Auckland Football chairman Bob Patterson outlined his board’s position in a letter to executive committee [ExCo] president Philip Barry last Thursday, a copy of which has been obtained by Stuff. ‘‘We do not have confidence in the current membership of the ExCo to lead New Zealand Football through the vital period of change required in the coming months and years,’’ he wrote.
