Phoenix Staff

I would usually have put Patrick's name forward but I am still awaiting for him to communicate with us and play that video of the yellow fever AGM a few weeks ago.

If anyone can pay for my airfare and Uni tuition for every work day, I'll apply for it.

Lizzie Cummings last day is tomorrow.  Feel for Johnny Schmitt, there's gonna be no-one left except him to do anything

Bloody hell, who's going to be left? Domey, Schmiddy, Gilly, Nathan Godfrey, anyone else?

Bring back Pignata! Are these people leaving because they want to or because of resizing the staff numbers?

How many have left? 

The place has fallen apart since Granville and myself left...

Rach, Thunderstix, Lizzie.

If Schmitty leaves things would collapse!

Such a small pair of shoulders to carry such a large burden.

last day to apply all you comms geniarses:

If it pays $70k+ I'm interested. I list my experience is based on 16 years of playing EA Sports Football Manager - including various name changes to the simulation.

Well done Siggy.

Fan favourite Ben Sigmund has been made a Wellington Phoenix ambassador and can’t wait to get his teeth into the new role

3 new staff members announced last night at fan forum.  

Wondered when that would happen as they need to replace Kyla, Rachel and Lizzie who all left over the off season.

Shame too.

Apparently the Head of Fan Engagement is this person. https://au.linkedin.com/in/sallyfreedman

Stints at FFA and Melbourne City. Tough gigs!

Modesty personified: "A highly motivated individual with an outstanding academic background, coupled with an exceptional vocational history."

Looks like good background in the area, be interesting to see what she comes up with.

Yeah, she should've wrote "A highly lazy individual with a horrible academic record, couple with an almost non-existent vocational history"

Needs more Flare/s!!

"Wealthy professional with 6-pack abs, Ferrari and large penis seeks woman not put off by incontinence, deformity or pathological lying."

That made me lose my coffee when reading it! Classic one there Doloras.

That's probably closer to the truth!

That would make her overqualified for NZF.

Is he a little bit like Andy Martin and really wants to work in Rugby?

Guess he didn't really tell the truth when he had his interview at the nix

If I was the Nix HR manager I would be reviewing his interview 

SMH.... Do you think he may have been talking firmly in cheek ?

he's a strength and conditioning coach, fairly sure that what he does doesn't require football absolutism.

I don't know the guy but according to this he did have a rugby upbringing - http://www.wellingtonphoenix.com/article/view-from-the-goal-mouth/9wpdrl96crxc1ev3lyi440pcd

Simon Hill needs to have a look at that. Add all of the players, including academy and then will Simon think that the wheels are falling off.

From their website:

Technical Director - Hiroshi Miyazawa
Director of Football - Leigh Kenyon
Director of Football - Jo Dawkins
Head Goalkeeping Coach - Tom Fawdry
Head of Phoenix Soccer Centre and Elite Coach - Andrew Milne
Elite Coach - Ross Haviland

He was referring to the office staff only though wasn't he? But two people leaving out of dozens and in completely unrelated parts of the business are not indicative of anything other than what they appear on face value, i.e. one person leaving to pursue other opportunities, and another leaving because he thought it was the only way to get the team out of their slump.

Head coach or Community Officer, shark, which one should I apply for? Hmmmm, 18 years of playing various forms of Fifa manager and Football manager hold me in good steed for both positions, especially as I can run a club at a profit and develop some decent players......

Ian Rogers the new Commercial Mgr
