Last Friday, a newspaper report claimed the club was short by around $2m required by FFA to remain in the competition.

However, the club told au.fourfourtwo.com today they had already raised sponsorship revenue of just over $1.5m - the amount they understood was the target set by FFA as the minimum requirement.

What's more, Fury CEO Rabieh Krayem claimed the club had financial commitments of around $700,000 over the next three years as part of the club's Community Ownership model.

The club's advisory board met FFA last Tuesday prior to the national body's board meeting late last week.

And Krayem remained confident this Thursday's meeting would answer more queries. But will the club remain in the A-League? That remains the question.

Krayem was exasperated at the funding shortfall report but remained bullish the club could mount a strong case.

"I don't even know where the story came from last Friday that we were $2m behind. I didn't take much notice of it to be honest," he told au.fourfourtwo.com.

"There was no substance behind it, no source behind it, and no quotes. It was just another one of those stories and I thought that if that was to be true, I'm sure the FFA would've spoken to us about it.

"But we need to work hard and if it takes another couple of weeks to answer any questions to guarantee Fury remain, then so be it."

The club continues to work through financial issues despite the question of future viability in the league dragging on for almost six months.

After last Friday's club presentation night the players were now enjoying a break as they wait on the future of the embattled club.

Krayem added that he was not aware of any more Fury players leaving the club after the exits of Justin Pasfield, Isaka Cernak, Osama Malik and Chris Payne to other A-League clubs.

And the club were keen to stress that star striker David Williams had signed a short-term contract with Sydney FC - rather than a loan deal as some have suggested - and was due back at the club under a new contract ahead of the next A-League season.

Krayem added: "The positive is that while someone is not saying no, we're still in. I'm hopeful that we can prove to the FFA that we have a viable franchise in North Queensland.

"And let me tell you, they talk about those fantastic passionate fans at Melbourne Victory and Sydney, but North Queenslanders are just as passionate about their football."
