I read this article by Tony Smith and think its not bad and think this sums up the wider picture better than Abbey was trying to convey.
Still people are retardedly spouting that NZF make profits. They do not. They pull money from their stockpiled 'International Teams Fund' to make it look like they make money. In essence, their International Teams Fund is not what it says it is but just stockpiled money from every 4 year WCQ cycle where we either get TV money or qualify. Imagine how thats gonna look next year.....
