I'm a huge fan of Ross's but I hope the announcement is more than his retirement.
 
Calling it a big announcement has hyped up expectations - hopefully a "wow"  marquee striker.
 
Roll on 2.00pm tomorrow.

Hmmm... I don't know, it's what people are suspecting isn't it?
I know he's an experienced player... But would he be a good assistant coach in peoples opinions?
I think it would be great to keep him on with the Phoenix in one way or another...
Good for morale.


I really hope he stays around the team in some form. He was a terrific ambassador for the Nix, even though he probably didn't play as much (and maybe as good)  as he/we hoped he would.

If the big announcement is Ross's retirement I think there will be a few disappointed people - securing Durante, McKain and others has raised the bar of what qualifies as a big announcement.
 
Might be a bit of a lesson for the lads in managing expectations.

If it is Aloisi leaving then for it to be this big an announcement I would expect him to be moving into some other role within the Phoenix encampment.

While Felipe leaving did have shock factor, this is the retirement of a captain and all around good guy - deserves more of a shindig.

If we get a Celtic game, thats like two star teams in the row like Sydney FC. Great for NZ Football. A great money spinner like the LA Galaxy. All we have to get is a Celtic pinup boy to grab the females into the stadium.

I've been told by very good sources that apparently Christian C Ronaldo will in June come to the Nix in the english close season and take the lads on an intensive week of training - specializing on going down quicker than a $2 hooker!
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Tony P has finally tied up the deal with Qantas to enable fans to fly down from Auckland, get a match ticket, one night's accommodation and a skinful in the BB for only $20.
 
Hey, I can dream can't I?

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

oh sh*te so we wont know anything for quite a while, right?
I have to admit, as much as I think Rossy deserves a nice farewell and stuff - I really hope a major announcement is made..
i.e. rossy leaving
and a center forward coming
or something of that sort

Maybe he could start on Torres, he was going to ground more freely than Ronaldo this morning.

I'd love to hear them confirm Porter and/or a right back. However I'm pretty sure it'll just be to announce Ross' retirement and the appointment of Durante as captain.

Now that Old is gone signing Sigmund should be a priority (especially as Ross' departure should leave us with some nice $ to work with).

hope you're wrong KTBW, cause I really hope something exciting will be announced!
However, I too have a feeling that it might be nothing special...

So the club captain announcing his retirement isn't special enough for you, eh? I dunno, some people are hard to please
