I do wonder sometimes how much the Nix monitor other developments on the NZ football scene outside of Wellington.
Obviously Auckland's instant large success surprised everyone, the Phoenix very much so.
But were the Nix even aware that ChCh United were entering a high class bid, had invited various OFC officials to ChCh, plus signed a MOU with the Vanuatu FA?
Were they aware that Auckland were using outside consultants to submit their bid? If so why didn't they do similar, rather than do it inhouse for an organistaion already juggling many hats.
That's where I agree Dome & Co from the outside, look a bit asleep at the wheel.
PS. I mean the Nix did good things by giving the likes of Totori and Krishna from the OFC nations their first chances at pro football. But then you have Kaltak and a few others they bypassed. They could agruably have done more in the past re being the only OFC fully pro club around. They had Raphael Le'ai and one of his Solomons U17s team mates at the Academy years ago, but no other OFC kids since then. Why wasn't that made a regular thing maybe.
