The Wellington Phoenix have shot down a report claiming the club have agreed terms with the FFA for a contract extension to stay in the A-League.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported today that the Phoenix have agreed to a minimum four-year licence deal which would be extended to 10 years if the side met high commercial targets over the next four seasons.
"The media reports from Sydney this morning that the Wellington Phoenix have been granted a four year license extension are wrong," said Phoenix General Manager David Dome.
"The Wellington Phoenix have not agreed to a new license extension.
"The negotiations for a license extension are continuing but the Wellington Phoenix have not and will not conduct these negotiations via the media."
