+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xWith Wellington's licence expiring at the end of this season it is going to be very interesting to see what happens if independence does not get finalised before then. If it does, then Wellington are here to stay and will have the same rights as any other club in the league. If it doesn't, Wellington will be in the position in which the FFA could legally deny them the renewal. There won't be another team in New Zealand. I'm quite sure the FFA have the ability to block that. I wouldn't be so sure. The ability to block maybe, but the willingness? It's already been reported recently that a number of club owners are attracted to Auckland. Dangle a share of a fat licence fee in front of this new mob, and let's see what happens... I think a Auckland side would bring the HAL in full circle with Canberra added. Auckland could easy be the next Melb Victory with average crowds of 20k. The same Auckland that’s never averaged above 5K? Bitch plz!, every one wanted a new Aus team and you got WU with crowds of 4k playing on AFL ovals. An Auckland team done right playing out of Edan park would kill it. not sure who is more pathetic, libel or nomates They're bad, but the NixOut brigade is worse. I only really do it cause I know it annoys nix fans, couldn't care either way, the league is going down hill. It doesn't annoy Nix fans as any sensible nix fan ignores this forum, it just annoys everyone. It clearly does annoy Nix fans, as evidenced by this thread lol. The thread is about people apologising to the nix, the people getting upset are the #nixout brigade. Sure it does, thats why any thread picking on wellington we see the same nix fans writing paragraphs defending their inclusion in the A-League, but hey you don't care though.
I never said I was sensible.
Regardless of the arguments for and against, I think it's more WP fans believing it is their god-given right to be in the HAL that irritates people. You are guests, be a bit more grateful.
The Phoenix own part of the league, they've contributed millions to the FFA and Australian football by wearing losses because of the way the TV deal was distributed, the same as all the clubs. They aren't guests they are owners.

And instead of ignoring them as stated, WP fans are replying to every single comment. As if they'd be allowed to compete if they didn't have a stake in the league. By 'guests' I quite clearly meant that they have been given an exemption to compete in not just a foreign federation, but a completely different confederation. They're guests in the AFC, and they're literally not even allowed to compete in the ACL. Therefore, guests.

+xIt's quite simple, they are not Australian, they shouldn't be in the league. Like your coach, several of your players and the owners of your club?

+xIt's quite simple, they are not Australian, they shouldn't be in the league. That's not entirely accurate. In order to be part of the league they have to operate under an Australian company entity, which they do. They have an Australian ACN and business name. They have to pay GST along with any other relevant Australian taxes. They are bound by Australian employee laws along with the players CBA.

This is genuinely something you have just made up out of thin air. NZ football fans know to be grateful for whatever we've got considering what we've come from. It's not about us not being grateful for being in the league. It's been more about the lack of any sort of admission that we are one of the best run clubs in the league and are actually helping keeping the damn thing afloat - all while dealing with far more bullshit than any other club has had to.

Honestly just amazes me how many dumb fucks would like to see the best-performing team in a horrifically struggling league, with the most promising Aussie coach, playing the best football and developing the best players the league has ever seen, get kicked out. I hate the term, but this is the most salty I've ever seen a group of people.
The Phoenix are doing twice as much to keep the league alive as any other club this season bar Sydney.

That's why Nix rate better then almost all other HAL on FTA TV and Fox. Wellington is always the underdog in crowd numbers/ratings and league ladder each year no matter what.

Would be happy to see a competitive, stand alone and self reliant NZ expansion club - viz Auckland. Some of u lot barking about Welly should get a life!. Just my 1 cents worth.

Yeah this season but for the past 10? Boot them out already. They're sponging off Australia's professional domestic football league taking up a place that could easily go to an Australian side.

I'm all for what Wellington brings to the league. If NZ ever gets it together enough to have a fully professional comp, I might reconsider my position. For now, enjoy the ride. They've had their ups and downs - I wasn't a huge fan during the Herbert years - but that's like any club. Merrick, Rudan and now Talay have produced some thoroughly entertaining teams.

I dont hate the Nix but i'd rather see the licences go to a Australian based club. Im find with the Nix being in the league as long as NZ FA Support them financially there presents should only be tolerated if it doesnt cost us anything as the do bring increased exposure numbers to the game and a greater talent pool to draw players from.

+xIt's very funny that one of the main reasons people have wanted us out over the years is because another Aussie team would be better for Australian football development - yet we have average foreign coaches at multiple Aussie A-League clubs and recycled, old journeymen players still running around. In comparison, the Nix have given a 2nd chance to Ernie and a chance for Talay/Rudan. They've also, this year, got a team full of players who have never been seen in the A-League before. Out of the First XI, only DeVere and maybe Sotirio are players you can say were 'recycled' from other A-League clubs. The continued commitment of a section of the Australian footballing fraternity to deflect from the A-League's actual problems to focus on the Nix - a well run, stable, financially independent club - will always be baffling to me. You posted that on facey didnt u 😉😉
