Like everybody I am very disappointed that we may not see Alex play, but the reality is that this season was over weeks ago.
The only silver lining to this dark cloud is that the younger guys will now get more of a run which will hopefully benefit us in years to come.
Well, I disagree with the idea that the quality of our overall operations (including FIFA international transfers, receiving FIFA eligibility clearances etc) should matter only if we are winning games. "Well, the transfer is not going to help anyway, so let's not cut a long weekend short to send it off to FIFA".
Half-arsed performance on the field does not legitimise off-field incompetence (be it NZF or WelNix, whichever was at fault).
