Mullane: I had nothing to do with Ryan removal

As the controversy continues over the ending of Ryan's two-year spell in charge, Mullane told the Irish Independent: "First off, and I want to stress this in the strongest possible terms, I want to distance myself from the perception that I had something to do with that players' meeting on Sunday and Michael Ryan's departure as Waterford manager.
