Manager Tony Mowbray last week told McGeadys suitors they would be wasting their time even picking up the phone to enquire about the wingers availability. That was amid reports Birmingham were preparing an 8million bid for the ireland winger. Venus does not want to lose McGeady either but acknowledged the size of any offer would ultimately determine whether he stayed at Parkhead. everyone undoubtedly knows that hes a very, very good player, Venus said. i dont personally believe hes the type of player that we want to lose. But every footballer has a price, i would suggest at any football club. So it would be folly of me to say to you that theres no way Aiden McGeadys leaving. But i would suggest it would probably take a lot of money. THIErry HEnry will not be pun- ished over the handball which saw the republic of Ireland miss out on a place at this summers World Cup. France striker Henry handled in the lead-up to William Gallas goal during the play-off, second-leg tie in France last november, which se- cured Les Bleus spot in South Af- rica at the expense of Giovanni Tra- pattonis side. Television replays showed the Barcelona forward twice touched the ball before Gallas bundled it over the line in extra time. France won 2-1 on aggregate, prompting an investigation from world governing body Fifas disciplinary committee. Announcing their findings yester- day, a Fifa statement said: The dis- ciplinary committee reached the conclusion there was no legal foun- dation to consider the case because handling the ball cannot be regarded as a serious infringement as stipulat- ed in article 77a of the Fifa Discipli- nary Code. There is no other legal text that would allow the committee to impose sanctions for any incidents missed by match officials.
