“It is what it is, folks. I’m not here to make excuses; my focus is on proposing solutions for our future direction,” Lazaridis stated during an interview with ‘Nice Drop of Port’.

“Our younger players are about to enter their second year and will undoubtedly improve.”

“Sadly, we’ve seen Jaylan Pearman depart for QPR, and there are one or two others who have received offers as well. We also lost Joel Anasmo to Jeonbuk Motors in South Korea.”

“We have Andriano Lebib, a talent that has caught the eye of an esteemed Austrian club – Salzburg.”

“There are some positive aspects to consider. With several contracts coming up for renewal, we’re welcoming new quality players and aiming to replicate Auckland’s success next season. We want to kick off strongly with a solid pre-season.”
