They were not able to receive subsistence from the three main bodies: the World Squash Federation (WSF), the Professional Squash Association (PSA) and the Women's International Squash Players Association (WISPA). A meeting was set up in Manchester with the Cardiff-based PSA, the men's tour body, to discuss a potential partnership, however, a last-minute change from the governing body left it with no alternative but to quit the site.
Mick Dodd, James Willstrop's manager, had given Cubbins & Gommendy a lifeline by suggesting that they should carry on serving the squash community and leave the business side up to him.[1][2][3]
