When you've got an appointment to announce, do it properly through the official channels. Until then, there's no need to say anything.
But at no point does he say that he definitely will. He's just saying he'll try his best. If it doesn't happen and some fans **** the bed, it's their problem. They could always just behave like rational adults instead.
