Am I surprised? Let's say I was hopeful and we have been working towards this.

I appreciate they have said that. I will appreciate it more when I see it happen.

Charleroi will go to court on March 20th and we are confident in our case. We have however submitted that the case be referred to the European Court of Justice as with the Lyon case.

Rather than waging war with threats of expulsion, the focus should be on finding solutions to the legitimate problems of clubs.

We have decided to take up the invitation of the enquiry chairman, Jose Luis Arnaut to contribute to the review.

We of course hope there are no injuries in the World Cup, but we have also made a declaration to back any club which wishes to take similar cases to this.

It is inconsistent to complain on the one hand about the burden of the overloaded international calendar and at the same time propose additional matches.

It is no longer a fair system. Fifa generates huge money now, and players are expected to be with their international teams for up to two months; we calculate the World Cup involves 22,000 man-hours. The clubs should be given substantial payment to compensate.

There are no plans for this in the foreseeable future.

We are positive about this review, but we will be very quick to push the issue of governance to the top of the agenda.
