Any [loan] deal would need to be concluded before January's transfer window closes but we want to make sure Dwight goes to Germany in the best possible condition. Sitting idle is not an option for him. But there has been no approach from Falkirk to date, or anybody else for that matter. |
Don't read too much into the Italian newspapers. |
He's my No.1 priority at the moment. |
I would hope we have a coach in place well before then. |
I'd love to have 30,000 there. |
Now that we have ascertained Pierre is staying with the club we look forward to putting together a team to defend the A-League title. |
Our position is still that we're delighted with Dwight's contribution, delighted that he's on a two-year deal and want to see him back here next season. But internally and publicly we have been trying very hard to help Dwight find suitable arrangements until the World Cup. |
Over the past few days there has been a lot of speculation about the future of Sydney FC, and my position in particular. I have spoken with all shareholders over the past 48 hours and there is unanimous support for me in this role. |
Pierre has done a fantastic job for the club and my recommendation is that we keep him. |
We are also working on how we can build our merchandising. The other focus is making sure we attack the cost area where we can learn things. |
We are delighted that Pierre has agreed to stay with Sydney FC. |
