Coach Ernie Merrick will enter discussions with Dome about what they need to target for next season with regard to recruitment.
Striker Nathan Burns is a player who has been linked to numerous moves recently but Dome said they were keen to retain his services; Burns is under contract for next season and Dome said there were no fresh offers for the Socceroo.
Burns reinvented himself in the capital this season and finished second-equal on the A-League's golden boot standings with 13goals.
The club's existing licence in the A-League runs until the end of next season but the club remained confident of being able to get a new term.
The Phoenix will return to the field at the end of the month when they send a team to the Hong Kong FC Citibank Soccer Sevens. They will also travel to Fiji at the end of June as part of their pre-season programme and will play the Fijian national side.
Best goal
JP: Jason Hicks against the Newcastle Jets at the Hutt Rec. Deep into added time and trailing 2-1, the Phoenix won a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area. Hicks sized up the situation and curled a fantastic left-foot shot up and over the wall and past a despairing Ben Kennedy to rescue the Phoenix a point with a 2-2 draw in round 18.
DR: Roly Bonevacia's free kick against the Victory in Melbourne in round 19 was a high-quality strike. Given the magnitude of a game against the Victory across the Tasman, this first-half special was impressive. It helped the Phoenix to a 3-2 win.
Best momentJP: Kenny Cunningham's winning goal against the Mariners in round 26. As finishes to football matches go, this was as good as it gets. The Phoenix had clawed their way back from 2-0 down to level at 2-2 late in the game. Cunningham latched on to a pass from Bonevacia to score past Liam Reddy with virtually the last kick of the game.
DR: Nathan Burns scoring the club's first hat-trick. The Australian collected the match ball with this virtuoso effort in the 5-1 romp over Melbourne City on November 30.
Best match
JP: The 5-1 win over Melbourne City in round eight. In the club's 194th A-League match, the Phoenix finally had a hat-trick scorer with Burns converting a late penalty to notch the milestone. Excellent strikes from Bonevacia and Roy Krishna completed the rout and erased memories of a 5-0 home loss to the same opponent last season.
DR: The 2-1 win over the Roar in Brisbane. Beating the Roar at their home ground remained the final frontier of away victories for the Phoenix until March 22. They battled back from 1-0 down via goals from Michael McGlinchey and Burns and there was plenty of drama as the game ended after 73 minutes due to flooding on the pitch.
Worst performance
JP: Unfortunately it has to be the last one. Much was expected from the Phoenix in their first finals appearance in three seasons but a strangely cautious approach and two soft goals saw them fall at the first hurdle to Melbourne City.
DR: I'm with Piney here. Sunday's 2-0 loss to City was insipid. Wellington rarely fired a shot and looked a shell of the team that led the A-League six weeks ago. Coach Ernie Merrick must be wondering where it all went wrong.
Player of the year
JP: It has to be Burns. At his best, he was untouchable as defenders found it tough to halt his progress when he set off with the ball at his feet. His run from the corner flag past five defenders to set up McGlinchey's goal against the Roar in Brisbane was one of the moments of the season. He must be a strong contender for the Johnny Warren Medal for the A-League's player of the year. The Phoenix will be desperate to retain him.
DR: While Burns was superb, captain fantastic Andrew Durante provided an impressive body of work. The central defender played every minute of the club's campaign and rarely put a foot wrong.
What do they need to add for next season?
JP: Joel Griffiths showed in his short time in Wellington the value of a traditional centre forward among nippy attackers such as Burns, McGlinchey and Krishna. While securing Burns is the No1 priority adding a more robust attacker is also important, perhaps using the import spot which will be freed up by Cunningham's reported departure. If Michael Boxall moves to South Africa another defender will also be needed.
DR: The Phoenix need to evolve. During the Ricki Herbert era they'd make the playoffs, think it was good enough and box on with last year's troops. This side need to stay ahead of the curve. A dangerous striker would be nice and more midfield depth would be an idea.
