Sounds good in theory.But are they saying they can choose players 2 years out !, how many of the last 17 are now in the current U20. Quite a few missing I believe. So players all progress at different rates.
What about the players whose parents can't afford to put them in boarding school in Auckland or Uni... They may be some of the better players in New Zealand.
At least with the Phoenix I am told they get some financial help and help finding somewhere to live etc, is New Zealand Football going do that for the players they want in Auckland.......
Do the Phoenix Youth get an exemption from living in Auckland ? Since the set up is already there and half the players will probably come from there,surely it would make sense to have it based in Wellington. Same poblem for players who aren't in Phoenix and can't afford it tho.
Maybe entering them into the ASB, having X amounts of camps during the years and having an open door for players to come and go as coaches see the need and players change.
Use the money to fly the players from there current base to games.
I presume NZF have therefore decided the coach for 2015 is an Auckland based one ??? Doesn't give the impression of an open door to that decision!
