00:00Ahead of Leeds United's final game of the championship season, head coach Daniel Farker has confirmed that there is currently no progress being made on securing the futures of some of Leeds' squad, including Mano Solomon and Junior Firpo.
00:13No, not yet. We spoke about before we were heading into this last busy period that, yeah, till really everything is done and settled. And it's also clear that we get promoted and hopefully also win the title, that we won't speak about individuals in terms of the future.
00:36It's more like we will take a decision then when it's really 100% clear in which league we will play, what budget we have and how our situation will look like.
00:45But it will happen pretty, pretty fast also. Right now we have clarity. Right now it's also clear that we play in the Premier League, to be honest, the last two or three days.
00:54After it was confirmed, we were just celebrating and then we were already concentrating on the game on Monday and right now on the game on Saturday.
01:01So it's no rush because we have then more or less the whole May and then also the whole June to speak about everything.
01:08But we'll do this also relatively, relatively quick.
01:12And Bradford City manager Graeme Alexander has said that Bradford's success this season has been a team effort, despite Alexander himself picking up some individual accolades.
01:23Bradford go into their final game of the season in League Two, needing just a win to secure promotion back to League One.
01:31You know, anything, I think I said it on the weekend, anything that any of us get individually, it's a collective.
01:39We can't do anything on our manager, player, anybody. You have to have a team with you, around you.
01:46And, you know, when these accolades come along, it's important that you understand that.
01:50I do. I know Richie does, Bobby, without their teammates, none of us would come along.
01:56So, yes, it's great because it was something I felt special at the time, you know, because, you know, when a club is deeply rich in history as Bradford City
02:08and you break a club record, then you've done something good.
02:11So, fair play to the players, they deserved it.
