Denis Fitzgerald Quotations

We have a contract with Brian Smith, Newcastle has a contract with Michael Hagan, we want Brian here for the year. That's what the players want. They're keen to have a great year for themselves firstly, and secondly for Brian Smith.

The announcement has been made now to end the ongoing speculation in regard to the coaching position next year.

The Board and Management are totally committed to Brian Smith and the players for the 2006 season, and every possible resource will be provided to ensure Brian's 10th year is a successful one.

We've got a contract with him and I believe in contracts.
