Phoenix management pipped again by Auckland's.

Now, I agree that the government shouldn't be subsidising this sort of thing. But the government is just writing cheques, it's the promoters and the club who come up with the idea and end up driving it.  When the government announced $70m in funding, did the Phoenix head office get working? Did they talk to a promoter about such an event?

The social media post reeks of desperation.
