"Football is described as a "tiger that hasn't been tamed" and an approach to New Zealand Football will be made to support a Phoenix youth team and a Wellington-based women's team playing in Australia's W-League.
"NZF could prepare their Olympics campaign through a W-League team," Dow said.
"Instead of going away to tournaments, build the women's game with money you're going to spend anyway.""
The premise is that the W-League team would be a quasi-national team paid for by NZF and just carrying the Phoenix name.
Sounds like a nice idea in principle but can't see FFA wanting this at all.

Why wouldn't they want it? They have always been very keen to have an NZ team in the A-League, so why not the W-League? It would certainly give the league many more followers here if there was an NZ team.

If the FFA don't have to pay for it they won't have an issue. However with the 'Whole of Football' plan and other initiatives plus the 'Phoenix are a private club' mantra I'd be stunned if NZF would want to fund it, let alone be able to justify funding it.

To be perfectly honest, I would much rather have a youth team in the australian compettition to grow what we already have in our A League team rather than bring in something which doesnt improve what we already have

I think you will find that it would improve the women's game here. Yes, our A-League club is a men's club, but that shouldn't mean that we completely shun the women.

My thoughts are that it wouldn't add much to the W-League. I mean there's not going to be any financial gain for the FFA, and they wouldn't be very keen on a team completely made up of New Zealanders.
Plus what would the ramifications be on player transfer rules, for the women who play for local clubs during the rest of the season?

Oh so this is what they mean by basing the Phoenix out of Auckland...

Of course it's rubbish if chauvinistic losers refuse to fund it properly. Also, screw you. Nix for W-League, great idea.

Hmmm. Having read that article fully, is John Morrison trying to position himself as "the man who saved the Nix"?

Why fund something that will never make money? It's hard enough for the men's game to make money.
Not chauvanistic, just find watching women's football to be rubbish, personal opinion.

The question is not what you personally enjoy watching, it's what's good for the game as a whole. I'm sure that if the Football Ferns lift the Women's World Cup, you would be jumping straight on the bandwagon. So let's fund a W-League team which could help our women be less rubbish, like the Nix have done for the senior men.

Quite enjoyed watching the Womens World Cup, actually. They dived a hell of a lot less than the men.

I honestly wouldn't be on that bandwagon.

The traditional problem with youf and wimmens teams for the nix is that you're suddenly adding huge expense for the existing teams - now having to fly to New Zealand. (and flying these teams away every second game...)
And i disagree with Blatter's view of what womens football should be like.
It can be good.

I hope they didnt spend a lot of money commissioning that report.
Whilst I would love to see a NZ team in W-league, the costs would be massive and the league isn't even that good. I cant see NZF stumping up half a million a year or whatever.
