I am still not going to believe this club has a future beyond the end of the 19/20 season until I actually see it written down that the Wellington Phoenix are now co-owners of the A-League. Those two words - "Wellington Phoenix" - have not appeared in any of the official statements so far. Dome's got his spin and the journos seem mostly (but not 100%) convinced that that's what's going to happen. 

But so much of the smart journalist money for years has been that the Nix are going to be out. Remember it wasn't even a year ago that it was being confidently reported that we were moving to Campbelltown. A few months ago it was also being confidently reported that the state federations wanted us out as a top priority and were prepared to give the other clubs extra money to get rid of us. If it is true and we are safe, then I want to know who was briefing those journos.

Journos make shark up for clicks all the time, especially in football. The Nix saying 'We're one of the 12" is far more reliable than whatever crap SMH has decided to push out on that day.

A year ago it was being confiidently reported, and it turned out to be absolute twaddle. Why would you continue to believe those sources?
