Nix @ CCM, Thursday 7th Feb 9:00pm SkySports 3

Fucking disgraceful. If they tried week in and week out and lost it would be fine. They don't give a fuck.

Who cares less: Ricki or the players?

Media blackout again is it?

The owners are so fucking retarded with their vision of how they think a football club can rebuild by simply opting for a new style of play. This is the worst football ive ever seen us play. Ever. I actually fear for the future of this club now, next season could well be our last if this continues.

Apparently YF think showing support for the players is better.

Don't stop believing etc...  

Next banner should be " argh, fuck it"

Terrible. Boxhall's on a short term contract, right?

Rant BEGIN

 Actually I think only Cernak was decent.

Boxall made quite a few mistakes and lacks pace.

Maybe Terry was trialling the novopay system for the goverment! 

They shouldn't be! I'd have been sacked at my work if I'd been performing like shit for 4 months on the trot.

so after tonight who needs to go ? over half the team?

So many cats

Total football? Total shite, that was rubbish they are killing any positivity I still had about the Phoenix this year....

Look on the bright side- we know have absolute proof that this team does not  take performance enhancing drugs.

Ricki, Paston, Totori, Stein, Fenton, Hogg and Ifill based on tonight. Oh, and how could I forget, Lia!

I don't think all our players are as bad as they are being coached to be.

I'm hoping that a positive to come out of this last 4 months of disgraceful football is that the owners will realise that some of our players just aren't up to it, and just asking for positive football from inadequate players will not bring results nor crowds.  If it gives them a kick in the arse to realise that an investment in the squad is desperately needed for next season, then something may come in the future.  If we end up at the start of next season with a similar midfield especially to what we have now, we know the owners actually don't care about the table at all.

Edit: And can we stop blaming all our losses on Lochhead now?  

Maybe they didn't have the budget from Welnix and ended up with performance-reducing drugs instead?

Who said anything about performance enhancing... Lol

What the hell have they done to our Phoenix boys?

hard to believe we're near the top of the salary cap

I think its more the case that no-one seems to know what anyone else is doing.

Ive seen average sides play well cos they are a team, but you cant say that about this lot

OK so that was really bad....we can't play possession football(that idea was such a joke)  and we can't play hoofball...its just got really embarassing.

What has happened is that the A-League has made enormous gains in quality and we are coached by a bloke who just does not have the answers to keep up. He's out of his depth. The same shit happens over and over and nothing is done to change anything...we are not making progress. I can't believe that the club is even contemplating keeping him on as coach next year.....time to get in some hard nosed Aussie coach in and sort this rabble out.

Ricki needs to man up and go.

This is his team, the team he gives to represent Wellington, a team that can't play football.

Ricki wanted to play total football. Welnix never said to play that way.

I just can't believe it. I think an extra zero has been added somewhere by mistake.

Sadly nothing will change as it will be to easy for Ricky to blame the shambles on the Morgan debacle causing unrest in the team.

 Tim Brown was a genius to get the results he did with that midfield.  Roll on next game (season).
