It goes without saying that recruitment will be vital as we have been found lacking over the previous two seasons. Piney did mention that Krishna for A league purposes is no longer classed as an import which gives us another import slot
How does that work?
Exactly how Piney explained it
It was a serious question and that's not a particularly helpful answer. How did Piney explain it? Was it on the news or a press conference? I don't live in NZ and don't always have access to the same media at the same time of day as others.
"However, it's understood Roy Krishna may soon qualify for New Zealand residency which would free up one of the five valuable import spots on the Phoenix roster."

In the past you needed AUS/NZ Citizenship to qualify as a domestic player but there was a rumour I read a few months ago that the FFA was changing that to Permanent Residency, so I wonder if this is why Krishna will be qualifying earlier than previous thought.
