<P class=StoryText align=justify>THE future of Jamaican international player Marlon King and the long-running dispute over the chairmanship of the South Central Confederation should be among the top issues up for discussion at today's board meeting of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) at its New Kingston headquarters.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Last month, general secretary Burchell Gibson wrote to Reggae Boy King through his English Premiership Club, Watford, advising him of a disciplinary hearing examining his actions, during Jamaica's twomatch tour of England in May and June.
"Mr King has responded and what I'll do on Sunday (today) is to table Mr King's reponse to the board of directors' meeting and then we will have some follow-up with Mr King resulting from the decision taken by the board of directors...," Gibson told the Sunday Observer in an interview on Thursday.
On June 1, King was expelled for disciplinary reasons prior to the team's historic match against
England on June
3, which the
Reggae Boyz lost
6-0 at Old Trafford.
His team-mates Jason Euell and Jamal Campbell-Ryce received lighter punishments and were fined half their match fees after the JFF management and technical staff heard appeals by the three players.
The JFF had earlier expelled the three, who broke a team curfew.
