I genuinely hope the NZFA are doing something constructive behind the scenes; even if they don't want to conduct their business in the eye of the Media. Surely; I repeat surely there must be some well heeled Kiwi's willing to invest in NZ's Footballing future, because that's what I believe we're talking about. Maybe, just maybe Asia is the answer to NZ's Footballing woes.
NZFA are hopeless. Amateur football over professional football all day long.
i reckon FIFA might have to step in, because NZ cannot sustain a professional competition on its own.
it'll look stupid if Oceania is the only continent without a professional team so i think FIFA has to do something about it
There was talk of FIFA sanctions if Nix were to be kicked out due to unfair metrics.
You seem to be labouring the wrong point - Nobody is kicking the Nix out! They are choosing to leave all by themselves.
Welnix are trying to screw over both NZ and Australia and line their pockets with dollars exchanged for broken dreams.
Meantime, NZ Football are sitting on their fat arses doing nothing.
Wellington supporters are dismayed, as they should be, but wandering about blaming the FFA for something, something, something isn't justified.
Australian Football, via the FFA and the A-League has been propping up a generation of pro football in New Zealand. It's money, time and effort that could be invested in expanding the game in their own jurisdiction. The pressure was growing 3 years ago and the response hasn't been great. The FFA quite cleverly killed off the "your competition needs us" shit with the initial Southern Expansion bluff. (Oh the hand wringing horror from Fox pundits too dumb to work it out). Now it's clear there are nearly a dozen ready to go replacements if Welnix can't lift their game.
If their only response is to be arrogant and rude to Australian Football then sorry genuine NZ and Wellington fans, your owners can fuck themselves. They are fucking you over but they won't get the chance to do that to their other benefactors - Australian Football.
Agree and they also have short memories, when TS was in charge they had better crowds, played a better style and we had people advocating for a second NZ team. They were for many folk their second team.
Next lapse of memory is metrics has only been applied to us. HHHMMMM NQF and Gold Coast would wanta argue that point, and just on the metrics when signed off the requirements were bagged for being way to easy and anyone with half a brain could met them.
Part of the original deal with NZF to allow Australia out of Oceania was to have a team for 10 years, and the second part was NZF would lift their game. NZF has gone from bad to worst even sending players to FIFA events not meeting FIFA regulations.
Its farcical, that they don’t see the obvious and simply lift their game.
Part of the problem is the WP have endeared themselves to NZF just about as poorly to FFA. Frankly I think NZ should feel more ripped off than we do. Since we left Oceania we've sent a good 25 mill back over for the benefit of NZF.
How much of that has filtered through to NZFC?
Your on drugs if you think money from the FFA went into the NZFC
. NZF used to own part of the Wellington Phoenix licence until it went sourly to Welnix around 2014 I think. NZF has done fk all to help the Phoenix except allow them to field a development team in the NZFC. The FFA help fund NYL they don't help Nix in that department at all period, and they should to be honest.
You're right for once. Whatever money we have sent over seems to stopped at the Phoenix and
I haven't touched drugs in my life.
Please your from Adelaide...…… And the FFA "GOAL" project funds went to the island nations didn't stop at the Phoenix.
