Are you kicking up the same stink for an Auckland side who finished 9th in the recently completed Northern League?

Yeah, thought not...

It seems interesting and funny to hear the Phoenix complaint but for how many year have they had right of passage to play in the national league when they struggled in the central league and had players in the national squad at all grades even when those player were not the best all because they were the only professional club in NZ. They coached the national teams so selected their own players. Now we have AFC which changed the game and are no longer top dog. Stop sulking, hire better coaches, recruit better players and do the hard work. Many teams have done it, look at AFC. First season and they have a trophy to show for it, what has Phoenix got to show after how many years?

Interesting opinion from a Nix board member posted on Stuff just now:
Opinion: Wellington Phoenix deserve answers after Oceania Football Confederation snub | Stuff
Interesting opinion but there is one thing that makes me rarely uncomfortable and is a bullshark statement for me " and we’ve introduced more OFC players to professional football than anyone else in the region." Come on we havnt been that proactive in that area and hate how him and   Domey have tried to make it a big deal as if we have introduced heaps of players.
