I hadn't realised he had said that - does
anyone have a link?

Cheers. That says his first thought was to sue but he'd been told it
probably wouldn't work - that's quite different to him actively
considering suing (for a start, its not his decision, either Sue or
the whole board would decide on the advice of Mike). I doubt that
report had any influence on the IWF decision to withdraw.
