As an aside when are we going to hear from Ricki about his reasons for "resigning"?  I'm surprised no-one has chased the story it would be a pretty good scoop for someone.  Doesn't reflect that well on him that he hasn't even thanked the club and the fans for a pretty generous send off

I think this might have something to do with the "technical football advisor" role Ricki took up. Welnix are paying him a little bit of money on the side to do this essentially meaningless job, which in turn keeps him quiet about his time at the Nix. Quite an astute little bit of business from Welnix's perspective.

Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with that.  But even if it did I don't understand why no-one is keen to hear why he resigned out of the blue mid-season.  I'm really interested to hear from him actually, I'd like to know his perspective on what went on

We all know RH won't be getting anywhere near the Wellington Phoenix again.  He's not being paid to do anything, they decided to preserve his dignity and give him some meaningless title.  Are you suggesting he has some sort of confidentiality arrangement?
