On Saturday 7th December 2019, we published an article headlined "Referee Mark Clattenburg called time on lover as her brother died of cancer". Although attempt was made for Mr Clattenberg's comment, he has now asked us to make clear that he denies that he met the woman for "monthly romps" as reported; that he broke up with her at the time her brother was dying of cancer; that he wished Andrea Happy Birthday, that he made a donation to her brother's charity; or that a friend of his wife started a rumour about her. Mr Clattenburg also denies that he "blackmailed" the woman by threatening to take her to court if she didn't adhere to the tenancy agreement, and that he sent her a message saying "you win". Furthermore, Mr Clattenburg denies that he was sacked from his position at the Saudi Arabian football federation as a result of the relationship - in fact, he served his contract in full and declined to extend it. We are happy to make his position clear.
