do we have any links to efl ,epl ,msl etc.. how come we dont have teams too loan players from? i also notice when we loose a match every man and his dog is on disqus or here laying down their 10 cents worth of negativity but when we do good hardly a proud note. supporters groups take the good with the bad otherwise we are just watchers and critics, i here redbull want to make a team from scratch in the a league now theres a group aussie would give us up for......
...Of course if we were a big well know Aussie city with a population that is actually in to football (eg Melbourne), there's a high chance that the NIx would be owned by some foreigners meaning money and attendances would not be an issue, nor would be playing the FFA at the signings game.
Sadly outside of NZ and Australia, NZ is only really known to play Rugby and Cricket and most people will only have heard of Auckland (our main airport), Christchurch due to the quakes and Queenstown for its beauty. Most people have never heard of Wellington let alone Hamilton, Dunedin etc making it hard to sell to foreign players, coaches and potential owners.
