The team is a sole NZF entity.
The entry fee is covered by NZF.
Any CWC money goes to NZF.
Surely people can understand this.
because the league is run by NZF, i'm afraid that this is actually fair
in an ideal world, wanderers would pay a fee to enter the league to the league management company and that fee would transparently go towards the promotion/running of the league
in other words, even NZF would have to pay to have a team in the league
of course we all know that these fees go straight to the revenue line in NZF's books and are used to run the sport in this country, as they are by statute entitled to do of course.
this is why i have been advocating for the league to be a separate entity run by representatives of the franchises and NZF as well as independent appointees.
