I’ve had multiple conversations over the phone and in person with his management.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] “He doesn't have issues with the coach or club that I am aware of."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“Payne is hugely respected by his teammates for many reasons and beyond that as an individual, I don’t think I have ever met anyone with the mental resolve that he’s got. His ability to compartmentalise is world class. His teammates know what he brings and they respect him as a person. While something as big as this can prove a distraction for many players, it won’t for Payne, because he has this laser-like focus to concentrate on what’s important, both at training and in games."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“We want to be at the table with his agents talking about his future sooner rather than later.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“A season never happens in a straight line, it’s a whole lot of lumps and bumps and this is just another bump. The job for us is to make sure as football-department leaders that we keep a sense of stability while we work through this problem. This situation has happened and we’re doing our best to deal with it. We’re hoping the positive change that is happening at this club continues to happen and Payne wants to be a part of it.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
