Never ceases to amaze me the people who are continually critical and negative of the way the Phoenix have done things or do things. Yep mistakes have been made but hey we are still here
They have had to survive what seemed at times threat after threat to our existence. From Terry going broke, to sitting on the license claims, covid etc etc yet unlike previous attempts we have survived. They have also managed to develop what has become a pretty good Academy continuing the development of some very talented youngsters. Some might not like to admit it but its partly because of our resilience and survival that Auckland are even able to be in the competition.
Im glad the Phoenix do things their own way, yep its bloody frustrating at times but i will still go to every game i can while im healthy and continue being optimistic about our chances i think thats what football fans do. When success does come and it will, it will taste so much better.
Good luck to Auckland they have certainly started well but not everything they have done has been great despite what some would have you think.

I'm a loyal Phoenix fan, but I just feel that Auckland has shown us up on a few fronts already - with very little time to setup.
It's of huge benefit having two A-League teams. We have already improved the playing pool of fringe All whites. We just don't want to become the poor little brother from windy Wellington....
I think our big point of difference currently is our academy and professional training facilities. We need to find more ways to innovate and corner the market everywhere south of the bombay hills :)
