Walter Bugno Quotations

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.

Pierre has done a fantastic job for the club and my recommendation is that we keep him.

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.

We are delighted that Pierre has agreed to stay with Sydney FC.

I would hope we have a coach in place well before then.

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.

Don't read too much into the Italian newspapers.
