The news of the independent A-League could not have come at a better time. That means Talay is now justified to build a younger team, plus some experienced people to help the youngster out, with a view for development and potential success down the line.
While i agree its going to really take some working out because just as you get someone like Singh to a level where they can really help push the team to success.If its done right they then rightly move on to the next level. So you are back where you were and back into a development phase.Lets face it as much as some people may think thats the way to go forward unless sponsors and the casual fans see success we are going to face some of the issues re attendance as we have done so far. Can we really see Welnix continuing to lose money just so we can develop Kiwi players.
Decent return on investment this year with Singh, no? And we can't assume they aren't ready- see Rufer. Think the academy and player development are part of core business now, hence signing Uffie.
