DESPITE Saints' denials a fortnight ago that Howard Morris had resigned as chairman, mystery still surrounds the 'hot seat' at Knowsley Road (writes DENIS WHITTLE).
Speculation was further fuelled by his failure to attend Thursday's sponsorship launch with St. Helens Glass, when business was conducted by vice-chairman Malcolm Kay and promotions boss Alf Davies.
The Star has received a number of telephone calls asking for clarification, some alleging that Mr. Morris had missed several board meetings since Saints' Grand Final win. When I spoke with local solicitor Mr Morris this week he said: 'I am a busy man and have no comment to make.'
Saints' media manager David Burke commented: 'To the best of my knowledge Mr. Morris is still chairman.'
Mr. Morris became chairman following the resignation of Tom Ellard in January.
