Original article
Five businessmen would each provide $400,000 a year over five years, generating $2m a year for the club during that time.
Followed by this...
[QUOTE]Confusion over a fifth member came about because the initial funding model would have seen five businessmen each provide $400,000 a year over five years, generating $2m a year for the club during that time.
So there was a model developed, but it is not recessarily what it is poised to be.

NZF (non)statement...
AUCKLAND � New Zealand Football (NZF) would like to confirm it is not in a position to comment with regard to the current situation between the Wellington Phoenix and the Football Federation Australia (FFA) given the ongoing discussion that is occurring between these parties.
However, NZF is fully supportive of a viable and vibrant professional football franchise based in Wellington. Any discussions and actions that can give the club, the fans, and the people of Wellington and New Zealand the certainty required are welcomed.
NZF will issue a media statement upon receiving official notification of the outcome from the FFA.

I gotta say, I am loving all this drama. Well worth the price of a season ticket.
As for the season itself, I've got my expectations well in check so anything more than the wooden spoon will be a bonus. No doubt all you rabid right wingers and psycho-social players will rage at me for being unambitious, but f**k it, even if we had recruited really well we don't have a divine right to win the league. There's only ten teams and guess what? Someone's going to come bottom. Bet the world doesn't stop though.

That is the issue for me right now. Terry holding on in the way he is, and having no money to spend, our chances of continuing our recent improvements are going down with him. I doubt that you would have had an outlook like that last year.
I want more than coming last this season, and if it means new owners coming in and spending some money, lets have them.

The lack of definite answers really is bullsh*t. I will not be purchasing a season ticket until this is resolved and we actually have a squad that even meets the minimum criteria of the league.
Oh Stevo, what a wonderful sense of self-entitlement you have, throwing a tanty because your sugar daddy ain't handing out those big lumps of sugar like he used to.
Can I remind you that it is actually completely within the power of the Wellington sport watching public to make Terry's financial problems irrelevant to the future of the Phoenix. How about we try a little self-determination here? Buy those season tickets, support the sponsors, encourage friends and family to do the same. Look at the example of Ahmad (and others) down in Dunedin and the way they threw themselves into promoting the Brisbane game. Look at the continuing efforts of those who run this website and associated activities.
Your attitude makes you part of the problem, not part of the solution.
That's what I did, I'm keeping the faith.

Well our Terry he runs the Phoenix
He runs pro football in the capital
He makes a lot of the fever happy, oh
He don't care about the debt at all
He's got a system they call leveraging
It keeps a lender waiting in a queue
But maybe pressure can make our Terry see
Sign three more players or we�re in the poo.
Gimme hope, O Terry
Hope, O Terry
Gimme hope, O Terry
'Fore the A-League come
Gimme hope, O Terry
Hope, O Terry
Hope before the A-League come

My flatmate has just spent the weekend in Sydney, and on her flight back last night was Terry... in economy class.
What a relief. If we were really in trouble, he'd be in baggage.

Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you, mmm
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the A-League games you play
Because I play them too
Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh and when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door
'Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith,
'cause I gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith
Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
Yes I've gotta have faith...
Mmm, I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith,
I gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
Cuz I gotta have faith
Mmm I gotta have faith
Because I got to have faith-a-faith-a-faith
I gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith

If he was really in trouble, he'd have been swimming back. (possibly wearing concrete boots

From the DP this morning:
The ongoing uncertainty is frustrating fans, with an online forum thread stretching to 95 pages on Yellow Fever's website as of last night.
I would be interested to know what % of the posts are actually angsty compared to posts having a lol at what is reported in their rag and other publications.

You guys need to start buying the herald
And read the ramblings on football by a half wit that might have watched a 1000 games but hasn't a f**king clue about football Terry Maddaford? According to Terry's logic, because I've eaten well over 1000 meals, I should be qualified to be a restaurant critic of the highest calibre or at the very least, a 3 star Michelin chef.
I'll take the Dom Post any day thanks. Even the NBR such is Terry Maddafords' numpty-ness.

Yeah yeah whatever. You can all go on about this and that and blah blah and Terry's got no money etc and OK so nobody knows what's going to happen boo hoo and f**k off Terry no don't f**k off and on and on it goes.But then you stumble across something like this and it makes you go "what the f**k? that's just f**king weird man" and you smile as you realise that everything is going to be OK.

News from the SMH appears to suggest Terry will stay on...if he has the money then, well, I guess this is ok news. Proof will be in the pudding though, both in terms of recruitment on and off the pitch. Can't help thinking this is a missed opportunity. This whole period has been absolutely terrible for the club, it has gone on far far too long - I think whether you are for or against Terry you would agree that this has been an unseemly episode for him and the club.

Meanwhile, flamboyant property developer Terry Serepisos is poised to retain control of Wellington Phoenix, but advertising guru John Singleton is believed to have backed away from a takeover of Central Coast Mariners.
For months the financial predicament of the high-profile Serepisos has been headline news in his home town but, after a meeting with Football Federation Australia officials in Sydney on Monday, it seems certain he will continue to bankroll the club.
It's believed Serepisos - labouring under a debt of around $NZ200 million ($160.3 million) - has been able to refinance through Asian lenders, and is keen to breathe fresh life into the club.
At present, Wellington have just 17 contracted players, but it's likely the club will add more. Young triallists Cory Chettleburgh [uncontracted] and Bryan Bran [Oakleigh Cannons], and promising midfielder Peter Triantis [Sydney Olympic], are all in the mix - as soon as the necessary guarantees are in place by the end of this week. The Phoenix then hope to add an experienced foreign striker as their 20th player, in time for the season opener against Gold Coast United on October 9.

This is fantastic news. Terry is the only man we can trust to take the Nix forward. With refinancing he can rebuild his property empire. May his reign continue for 20 years. Long live Terry and long live his Nix. Nippart and all the anti-Terry brigade can suck eggs. Morrison and the filthy five who wanted to get their dirty hands on the team can get lost. We don't want them anywhere near our team. Terry for PM!

Yep, the Doom Post is probably the least sh*t newspaper, but still pretty sh*t.
