The Sunday News reported today that letters of intent have been
sent to many of the All Whites to secure them while contracts are
being drawn up by lawyers, targeted players were the following:
Glen Moss, Mark Paston, Noah Hickey, Steven Old, Danny Hay, Jarrod
Smith, David Mulligan, Ivan Vicelich, Andy Barron, Leo Bertos,
Jeremy Brockie, Shane Smeltz, Jeremy Christie, and Tim Brown.
However, nothing solid was reported but I guess this gives us
idea of who they specifically want. A question mark hangs over
a couple of them but most seem certain to sign.
As for the club CEO, Seropisos was reported to be is chasing
the signature of his friend Phil Alexander (current Crystal Palace
CEO) who is in Wellington at the mo for the Miramar centinnial
and apparently the deal is almost done. Phil sounds like he has the
credentials and has been in charge of Crystal Palace since 1998 and
has helped rebuild the club which gained promotion to the PL in
2004, all be it breifly, and he has a rep as someone who can
attract dollars to a club.
