My heart goes out to you Nix supporters who turned up for the Newcastle game. I went through that diminshed crowds and expectations trudge with the Kingz in their latter stages. It's not fun but you have to keep the faith. You'll really find who are the stalwarts and who are the fair-weather supporters when you're at the bottom of a cycle. You need to support each other through this.
I just hope the Phoenix can rejuvinate themselves next season and that has to start with an experienced A League coach making major changes. Could it not be possible to bring Sereposis on to the board as he proved he had a real passion for the team? Or would that be too awkward for all concerned.
Cheer up - it can only get better.
Where i was sitting a lot of people were getting really angry, Ive never seen as much angst at a Nix game as last night. A whole bunch of guys cheered when Lia was subbed off... the mood wasnt good.
Ive wondered the same thing but i dont think his philosophy would fit with Welnix. Just the other day he pretty much slammed them for whats going on with the club, and was hardly diplomatic about it. Personally Id like to see him back, but it wont be under the current ownership model I dont think.
