Obviously, we are only two months into the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;If there is going to be an extension, it has to work for everyone and it has to have a clear vision on where we see the club.
