Answer some of baiters post

Did Rudan past come into play?

Do you believe he engineered his exit?

Have you seen the posts/thread and believe those are Rudan?

What's the background on Dura and the Testy?

Baiter wrote:

It appears that:

1, Rudan got summoned home by his wife because (due to past history) he can't keep his pants on.

2, He engineered the messages about his departure with the crap about ambition. The Phoenix squad was once again financially comparable to all but the league's top 3 teams. The Phoenix still has the best youth set-up of any team. The club may run on a smaller backroom staff but to claim a lack of ambition just doesn't add up.

3, Western United staff had long stated their new manager was involved in recruitment before he was announced. He clearly behaved unethically when the Phoenix had done all they could to build him what he needed.

4, Even if the club suspected this was going on with no actual proof they would have had legal implications for terminating a contract with no facts to back it up and at the same time can you imagine if they sacked him when we were top 4 and challenging on a rumour - no matter how strong?

5, The club worked fast to sign a replacement. They also negotiated hard with all the players that have left but at the same time were realistic about what they could justify paying them.

6, You think you like angst now wait until you catch the next departure.

7, Rudan has been using social media - fake accounts and misrepresentation - to try and defend his actions. Good luck to Western United if some journalist actually goes all in on him.

8, After pulling an (estimated and conservatively so) 3 million dollars out of this club in salary we're meant to feel sorry for Dura because the testimonial whose grandiose plans were driven by people outside the club didn't make him another million? Fudge off.

How is the license situation affecting recruitment (budget wise) for the upcoming round, and when can we expect a public announcement on the future of the club? And by that I don't mean Dome saying he's confident we have a future.

Id be keen to hear more on development of the womens side of the game and what other ventures/thoughts they are thinking about.

Can we do a lazer kiwi inspired 3rd kit this year peow peow. 

Can we have an indepth talk about investment as there seems to be a perception that the owners are cheap.

What resourcing gaps do we have (outside of players) and what recruitment is going on for preparation for this season? i.e. back office (administration, commercial); front office (marketing, media); coaching appointments (through youth to seniors)

Details on pre-season fixtures? Any trips to Beijing this year, etc?

Oh and new leagues working group

Western united, their funding and future prospects with money drying up and a independent league

Western united recruitment strategy where they promised they wouldnt just recyle Aleague players but bring in the majority of their squad from outside

How Mcarthur compare?

I'm guessing Dome won't comment too much on non-Wellington home games until the fixtures are understood, but perhaps how many (minimum) do we expect to away from WLG?

Also, how happy is he to have a replacement manager in place now (early in the off season)? It must be a lot easier on Dome than previous goes at this.

How much inter-club (A-league) communication/intercourse is there below owner level? Are there any clubs we have a good off field relationship with? In what way? Also not just A-league.

If the FFA are propping up West Melbourne already, will that allow them to keep a foot in the door and ensure the Phoenix get screwed over? Before it was 9 clubs in our favour and now it'll be 9 clubs in our favour and 1 dessenting. and that one will have full backing of the FFA and Fox.of course.

Well, technically, we don't need to know anything. I was asking the question because I was interested to know the answer. If no-one else finds the subject interesting, that's fine and I assume that will be a call made by the guys during the interview? But thanks for your thoughts.

I think the term inferred should have been "Social Intercourse"  as opposed to Sexual. I know there was some sly humour in the original comment but Social Intercourse is a legit term.

Serious Question and I think both announcements are great for the game.

With the sell on of Singh how much % wise would be returned to the club that developed him (Onehunga) for them to re-invest in the development of other players?

With the signing of McCowatt did the NIX pay training compensation to his former clubs to reinvest?

If the answer is no then why? and how do clubs in amateur leagues benefit from the NIX when there is no return on investment and they(wee-nix) take money from the domestic competition prize money share from any Club World Cup qualification?

The pathway is great but if clubs can't afford to invest in talent development because the Bigger clubs refuse to pay their share what is the point?

What do Nix know already about possible scheduling challenges that will ultimately drive timing of home-away-from-home games next season? Ie, when is Westpac booked up for non-Nix events? Is there likely to be a 6-8 week gap between actual home games as in the last few seasons (which I think everyone agrees now is undesirable)? What are/can Nix do to try and avoid this scenario playing out again?

Apologies if something like this has already been put forward earlier in thread.

You could do it jokingly, then ask him how he feels about a good portion of the fanbase thinking he's incompetent, why we perceive it like that and what he's looking to do to improve that image - at the moment every public comment feels out of touch, naive or both and we've not exactly done well on the football front, business front or recruitment front under him. Those are serious questions that fans would like answers to, but I get it if you just wanna softball him stuff that won't annoy him.

I dunno about this. I mean when was there ever a GM of a football club that was sufficiently appreciated by its fanbase? Reality is most of us on here reckon we could do Dome's job better than him. Fine to be critical, but I think it's a pretty thankless task - piano player in a brothel type stuff.

As someone said Tony P is deified, but spent Terry money and won us nothing.

I don't think Dome has done that badly considering the levers he has to pull. A portion might be better than a good portion.

Didn't we just get one of our academy players to Bayern Munich? #winning.noifsnobuts

The coach is the club much more than the GM and getting a good un is like alchemy.
