Postecoglou was asked whether he felt he had the support he requires from the club:
"I don’t need support. I don’t worry about contracts, I don’t worry about support," he said.
"I just want to make sure that what I set out to do, I accomplish and that is to bring success to this football club.
"I will work my backside off to make sure that happens. I am not going to be deterred in my ambitions or endeavour to do that and that’s what I’ll keep doing."
