And keeping in line with football financing, when the matter of accused murderer William Mason first came into public view, one of the most widely reported masks he wore, was that of a football financier. That is actually how Hon. John Saldivar said he came to know Mason in the first place. Mason, as has been widely reported, donated several thousands of dollars to Saldviar’s football club- the Belmopan Bandits. But there were also reports of Mason contributing to other football clubs in Belize. So was the Police United FC ever on Mason’s payroll? After all he did appear to be rather friendly with senior members of the Government, particularly within the police department. Today the media asked Club Manager Superintendent Andres Makin Sr. just that.

"In terms of accused murderer Williams Mason that several football clubs have received donation sponsorship from him; is the Police United one of those clubs?"

Supt. Andres Makin Sr. - Manager, Police United FC
"I would prefer that this question be given or be asked to the president who is Mr. Grinage he is the one that would be in a better position to say."

Duane Moody
"Dr. Grinage?"

Supt. Andres Makin Sr. - Manager, Police United FC
"Right, he is the president of this club so he would be a more appropriate person to answer that question."

Duane Moody
"But as manager as you aware of anything like that any donations; because I know you said it was 200,000 dollars that you guys are trying to raise?"

Supt. Andres Makin Sr. - Manager, Police United FC
"We were trying to raise 200,000 dollars but definitely we have not gotten anything from Williams Mason as far as I'm concerned as the manager into this venture. This 200,000 dollars is from Champion's League itself and from other cooperate sponsors that we; Benny's, Belize Bank, Social Security and so forth."
