Go Mrs Siggy!!!!
This is great...about time some light was shone on the management and culture of this club...
Are you bashing the club management on any information apart from the rantings of a wife of an ex-player who may or may not have an agenda?
From an outside (way outside) view looking in:
* The club has great corporate sponsorship and a fantastic corporate offering. Huawei's current spat with the US notwithstanding, does any other club have a Fortune 500 as the major shirt sponsor?
* I don't know what else to expect, but the clubs engagement with grass-roots supporters seems to be solid. Every week there is a story about players mixing it up with a school group, at a hospital, taking kids training or whatever. The club is also reported to have amoung the highest engagement on social media in the A-league. Is there an issue here?
* The academy is only a few years old, but appears to be very well run in terms of the output and looks to be going from strength to strength. The academy teams train with the pro's, and they get decent game time compared with the rest of the league. That part of your criticism seems the most bizarre. Has there ever been any word from anyone in the club that the academy/first team situation is out of whack? The on-field results and off-field engagement doesn't really suggest there is.
* Nix Management even have their academy team playing at a decent level in a competition run by the clusterfudge that is NZF. NZF who reportedly wanted nothing to do with the Nix for most of the Nix's existence but now appear to get along.
* The management team appear to have a very good relationship with all the entities involved in the discussions around an independent A-League outside of the FFA. With the myriad of vested interest involved, this can be nothing other than astute management.
* Despite the FFA doing everything they can to get the Nix kicked out of the A-league, we are still going and at least outwardly management is confident that the license will be renewed and the Nix will be in the league for years to come. You seem to blame the shark the club has been through in relation to the FFA on management decisions, I personally take the view that the management team has been incredible to navigate the team through this period of uncertainty. Not commenting on rumours, not taking bait from the media and hopefully getting the team out the other side in a stronger position that it was before.
* Player recruitement has been solid, player retention has generally been solid up until the Rudan saga. Taking everything that has happened with that snake of an ex-coach and ret-conning it to mean the club has always had culture issues with Welnix seems to be a reach.
I'll believe the club is in a shark state and is run by monkey's if Greenacre decides to leave.
