And I appreciate that you twisted the argument away from what it was - an international transfer from NZs only professional club (as I've amended this), to suggest that this would apply to all NZ local transfers.  Sorry but that IS a twit of an argument.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER WINDOW - HELLO? Anyone home at NZF? Surely the NZF know when INTERNATIONAL transfer windows and loan windows open and close? 

Ballane, it's not as if the Nix could have gone to another organisation to process the transfer. They are stuck with them to do a competant and professional 10 minute job. EPIC fail.

They probably should have given a heads up that they are talking to a player, on the other hand nzf should have realised that their only professional club had a few injuries and also had two foreign spots open so was must likely on the look out for players.

Common sense and the NZF are not good bedpartners.

What I'm intrigued about is the software or technology that nobody at NZF could figure out. I mean really how hard can it be and as said why didn't they phone/email FIFA and say we are having problems with the software please help??

I'm also assuming that someone had to install the software and there was some training and I find it hard to believe that only one person who had - left and the only other one was holidaying on Mars. Really these are the only two people in the organization?

So there was no manual or anything??? No FIFA online guide?

I think it's all a load of bullshiiite. I think the were all in holiday mode and nobody was making sure the basics were being done. It's just poor management. 

Considering the recent fiasco with ineligible NZ players I would have thought NZF would have been very alert regarding anything to do with international transfers etc, especially one involving the Phoenix. 

And also, the least the fudgeers at NZF could do is apologise for fudgeing up.  Not once have they come out and said sorry.  Its not like we can use anyone else.  This is a job that only NZF could possibly do.  So how about fudgein saying sorry you useless cods.  YOU HAD ONE FUCKING JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol @ NZF

I'm more worried about how overseas clubs will deal with us, It's our name and club that gets a bad name not NZF. Man I really hate those bastards up there...NZF should be down here with new board and a better admin staff.

A professional attitude would be a nice start. oh no, have to go away for the long weekend. see you at the batch in the middle of nowhere.

Nix dont quite have the attractiveness of Real Madrid, id say. We fight tooth and nail for any kind of transfer deal. This will have done irrepairable damage.

Perhaps NZF thought that the International Transfer Window and International Matches were related, and realising that we don't participate in International Matches, thought that for cohesive purposes that we also shouldn't participate in the Transfer window.

We'd have to get Birmingham to agree to release him in order for us to sign him.

Worth a try but don't know what the likelihood is that they'll let him go for squat.

that question deserves a bloody answer, can someone hold the idiots to account?

 I guess he will get over it quickly, something else good will turn up. Still effing embarassing for us.

Whoops

You couldnt make that shark up, it has to be true

I can't be bothered reading the whole thread but this is 100% another NZF screw up. There is simply no excuse for this. You would assume people working there like football and are aware of what is going on in the game in NZ, eg Phoenix trying to sign players.

Just confirms everything we have suspected for the last few years - the whole organisation at NZF is a complete and utter shambles with no idea what they are doing

Sorry I couldn't be bothered reading your post. What are you on about?

good find I was looking for the same, but had to watch the Walking Dead I'd taped.

Your logic was very convincing until I read the stuff after the dots, then it all sort of went down hill

Guys just remember if you are a registered player, that under the code of conduct you can't "speak to any media in a negative way, or publish any negative comment (including on any website) regarding New Zealand Football or any of its Federations."

Should shut these forums down.

If they released him before the close of the window, we could sign him. Surely they haven't done that, or we would have signed him already? 

Fudge those kents at NZF

Sunday league training doesn't start till the weekend or so...till then get in!

At 55 I don't think I care if I am suspended from playing ?. I do care about this forum and the freedom of expression too. I care about the Nix being on the rough end of the stick from both the FFA and also the NZF. I also believe in accountability of people in positions of power that make continual screw ups.

I've had it with NZF..the next prick that walks out of that office will get Dildo's and vibrators thrown at them with a dusting of Glitter bomb from my ass

Ooh me and you just thissed at exactly the same time 2B... did you feel the tingles too?

all very shady about what the tues issues were. Was the bloke who got the Friday handover there on Tuesday? Was anything actually done?

especially when they throw up someone who isn't the CEO to spew out a few choreographed lines to Radio Sport

NZF makes me feel blessed to be Australian,  where we have the amazing and ever-so-reliable FF- oh.
