Had to be based in Auckland? Because it’s the site of some portacoms and (almost?) 0 current starting All Whites? Then they can reuse Huddo’s pinboards, so they save a bit of money? 
It just makes you think more and more the only professional football in NZ is in Wellington and even then I’m withholding judgment until we win the league this year! 

On the other hand we have to be realistic- NZF is a small gossipy parish. Occasionally someone is guna come into town to sell us a monorail! 
You would think that would have been stated at the very beginning of the process as well "Must be based in Auckland". I still think Talay would have been a mistake especially considering we don't know if the A-League is going to break for every International window for next 3 years and they sure as hell were not going to interrupt their domestic competition to do anything to accommodate only the NZ national team. The NZFA would then be paying 250k to someone who is not available, which is ironically exactly the kind of thing they would normally do.
