Dome out because he didn’t try to take business away from Wellington’s desperate hospitality sector? O f-n k. 

How about a balloon with your special name on it, like Auckland do? Jaysus 

The club has been around for a while, but if we’re complaining because we’re not going through club owners and leadership like [insert metaphor here] f- me. We could be WSW. Haven’t won a finals game in 10 years. Or Sydney or Adelaide- all in alsorans. You’re not alone in your football team not being number one. 12 clubs are guna experience that this year.
So the Nix has been around for 20 years and have the same guy run things for yonks, haven't won anything and your ripping me one for wanting a change of vision. The clubs mentioned above have won stuff too. Heck Adelaide could have given Auckland a run if their squad wasn't decimated by the Aussie U20 campaign (an actual excuse).

Nix don't have a winning mentality in the organisation and if it doesn't change, they won't win anything soon. Things are also gonna get interesting when AFC sets up a youth academy too.

A change of vision. What an empty platitude. 
I’m ripping you because the idea that apparently is so different is a big screen in a cold, windy square downtown. That’s the difference. 

Adelaide did challenge Auckland. They lost. After the Rogerson equaliser, their ‘winning mentality’ went belly up. And their fans are unhappy. But that’s okay because they’ve got an excuse! And a letter from their parents…

Keep the ideas coming though!
so is it a crime that I want a change of vision for the club? Please explain to me one thing that the Nix management has done in the last month or two that proves a winning mentality for next season.

"We are in rebuilding" or some BS like that does not cut it as the club did absolutely nothing to build on the 2023-24 season. 


I feel the pain mate. 

Certainly you’re not alone with being unhappy. 

My feeling is the club has chosen their coach for next season and said they’ll back him. 

He’s said there’ll be changes. I’m prepared to wait and see what he cooks up. I can remember last season and how we were clinical, had a fun Salas cameo and how Doka slew us. 

For me the time to ask questions next season will be 6 weeks in, if it’s clear we couldn’t replace Sutts and Wootton and we’re still relying on the kids to produce rabbits out of hats.

I mean let’s be fair, no one knew how good Kosta would be in this spell. But his quality comes from talent plus experience and professionalism. A bit more of that…

A few good games and especially a good run at the derbies and we’ll be feeling much better as fans.

If it doesn’t work, get a new coach and go again. Last year Rufer, Pennington and Al-Taay seemed to have limitless energy in midfield, similar to Verstraete and pals this time around. We need to up our squad fitness and get in a few reinforcements with a bit of experience, like the latter two. 

I think an onfield rebuild is the main thing. A big screen on the waterfront isn’t going to score us any goals. 

Anyway, waay off topic though I did mention the derby! 
Not off topic as it seems we can agree that the Nix hasn't reacted well to having Auckland in the league and next season will be fascinating to see how the Nix reacts (and how Auckland goes), if the same happens a new vision/management/coaching is definitely needed.

The reaction also hasn't helped fans north of the Bombays stay loyal to the nix too.
It will be definitely good for NZ football if Auckland manage to host the GF.
