But the main reason I had my little rant was because all this negative talk is self-reinforcing. So many of you seem to have convinced yourself that the Nix are DOOMED, that we will not finish or even perhaps start this A-League season, and you cherry-pick the evidence to confirm that. (Hingert turned us down, yes, but Pantelis and Downey signed up.) If you're "nervous" then please tell me exactly what could happen to make you less nervous. Because I think the answer is "nothing". Your faith in Terry and Nix management is gone for good (thanks again, Dave and Matt) and nothing will get it back. Am I right?
Look, we might go bust, and we might not. I refuse to start getting depressed until we do go bust because I don't like being depressed. This is not "denying reality", because I really think that you are deluded if you think whining on a fan forum can change that reality. I am looking at the glass half-full, or even quarter-full (isn't that what we are told is best for our mental health?) and saving my "getting depressed" for until after the licence gets yanked.

Oh God!!!!
Now I am really worried.....I am starting to agree with Doloras on a regular basis.
If all the facts were presented to us, if we could go through Terrys financial statements, if we could get all the participants to be open and available then we might be able to make a proper judgement on the fate of our club.......but we don't....so there is NO POINT in angsting about it.
The club is functioning, the team is training, they have recruited players and backroom staff, they have announced preseason games. All this negativity(mainly media) will probably damage the club further because it will almost certainly impact on season passes.
If the Nix fold then I will probably do something very violent and probably illegal to the cat....then I will then shave my head and spend the rest of my life in a monestry in a cold bleak faraway place(probably Palmerston North)
In the mean time life is too short to worry about something that may never happen.
