He said the Phoenix offered nothing to the A-League and were taking the place of an Australian team, but Dome disagreed.
"You can't say the Phoenix aren't bringing anything to the A-League. It's ridiculous - an absolutely ridiculous comment," he said. Wellington were developing a host of young Australian players, he added, with Jacob Tratt, Adam Parkhouse, Dylan Fox and Lewis Italiano all earning game time this season.
And the Phoenix had been responsible for bringing back striker Nathan Burns from Asia, resurrecting his career as he worked his way back into the Socceroos.
Dome said Bosnich's attack had come out of left field and had no basis.
"It's not worth justifying those sorts of off-the-cuff comments - for some reason, he's got a bee in his bonnet.
"We'll just carry on and do our business. We've got a quality team of football players, we've got two exciting young coaches who are going to take the club to the next level and we're pretty excited about that."
Wellington, who finished ninth last season, sit eighth this campaign after earning three draws and a win in their past four games under new coaches Des Buckingham and Chris Greenacre.
