It is not a decision that I wanted to take at this stage of the competition but there are a lot of things that are not going right and for them to change, someone has to take a stand and I did that.

It's just a normal business decision they've taken. And it's not entirely surprising given the level of international competition [for the bid].

We have been working on few things and with the inclusion of a few national players we decided that we need to win this game. I spoke to the players and they basically said they would go out there and win this one.

A good decision made quickly is far better than a great decision made slowly.

They have just gone out of Europe so I am convinced they will want to try and win this competition, that's for sure. Whatever team they put out, when Man United come to town, it is going to be a tough, tough game but one that we will relish and we will look forward to the challenge.

It was a corporate decision. They chose to buy out their lease (at the La Crosse mall) and leave.
