In the last week or so:
Rudan's said the Sydney game could and should have been played at Eden Park.
The Phoenix media people post a video with Rudan's thoughts on Eden Park. Dome praises the Eden Park managers.
Morrison makes a rare public comment, that Auckland ought to have an A league franchise. And that past failure is no guarantee of future failure, and it's logical to have a franchise in the only major Australasian population centre that doesn't have one.
Wonder if one of Rudan's prerequisites for staying is a shift to Auckland. And if Morrison's considering it.
Morrison has always said that they would like someone to form an Auckland team.
