The FFA love Terry for the reasons that article explains, but then they don't personally know contractors who went bust because Terry didn't pay his bills until the last possible moment. Those people are the kind of people who read and advertise in the DoomPost and the NBR, and consider Burgess and Nipples crusaders for justice against a dodgy Greek businessman, and would consider it hilarious if he went bust, no matter if he took the Nix with him.
They have a point, but there are few people throughout history who have done great good without having also done some crappy things at times. There are no saints except in the viewpoint of the one-eyed. Which is why the posters here who keep dreaming of a White Knight with impeccable funding sources to take over the Nix are... well, dreaming. I fully believe that to have the kind of ego that can handle losing $1m+ a year to own a pro football team, you have to have the kind of ego which - for example - thinks paying your bills on time is for the little people.
Until the A-League becomes profitable, we will be reliant on the goodwill of Terry, or someone very Terry-like.Doloras2011-06-22 13:40:37
