Kewell announcement delayed

The Australian star was expected to give an exclusive interview with Channel 9 News as part of their Current Affairs show, but it seems there has been a problem with the plans.

"I can tell you we are not running it tonight," said a spokesman for the show.

"There has been an 11th hour hitch between the two clubs and I don't think it is a signed and sealed deal yet.

"We have done an interview with Harry but no we are not running it tonight.

"You can appreciate with the time difference, we don't have the green light yet."

The delay is thought to have been caused by the channel wanting to avoid legal action by making an announcement before the transfer was complete, rather than because of a last-minute change of heart by Kewell himself.
