00:00The two players that we are always talking about is Puli and Tina.

00:07We already know it's been six months.

00:10Nowhere else in the world, I think you would have players not signing a contract,

00:14yet still getting your salary, still flying first class and all those kind of things.

00:18I don't think we can wait for 100 days before you make a decision,

00:21so maybe you have a comment on that.

00:22Yeah, I've talked to the management about that.

00:24I think they're looking into it.

00:26But to say that nowhere in the world, I don't think it's quite true.

00:29Because if you are a salary, you get paid salary.

00:34If you don't get a contract, if you don't accept a contract,

00:38if you don't get a contract, it's again, it has to be done mutually.

00:41But of course to me personally, I've told the management if possible,

00:45try and get this done as soon as possible.

00:49One, because it will be good in terms of certainty,

00:54and we can also focus, and I believe the players also can focus.

00:58Sometimes things like this will not be good if you want to be 100% focused on what you want to do.

01:04And secondly, to me, we need to make sure that we keep all the players within BAM.

01:11So I've asked management to please try and make sure they stay.

01:16OK.

01:17Thanks.

01:18You
