Anyone know if Matti Steinman is still in Wellington?
Surely if Nix don't plan to offer him another contract, they have now let him to return to Germany.
For what it's worth, after seeing this, I asked the club today whether Matti was still in Wellington, given the last of these flights took place earlier this week and that they had made a point last Friday of saying only two players weren't in New Zealand or Australia.
Make of it what you will, but the club's response was "No comment".
Probably some truth in what you say, esp since if Steinman has now left for Germany, you could almost surmise that come end of May, his employment at the Phoenix has finished. That's given that it is going to very difficult to return to NZ in the near future for anyone, incl Senor Davila.
Hopefully next week on April 22nd, the FFA give an update on what are their proposed plans for a likely A League start. Also what is happening re payments from Fox. Then after that the Nix should be a a bit more forthcoming with intel. But I guess in reality any announcement on players being released etc could be left until early June.
