I certainly don't support "Yellow Fever" seeking a meeting with Terry Serepisos, and neither do most, if not all, of your YF moderator colleagues based here in Wellington.

I simply don't believe that Terry will say anything privately that he hasn't been saying publicly for months, especially not to anyone associated with this forum.

Given everything that he�has put into�the Phoenix so far I also think it is downright rude to effectively say "we don't believe what you're telling us, open your books". I know you will disagree on this point.

If an individual wants to hit him up with some questions, however, and thinks they can get a meaningful response, then good luck to them. Just don't pretend to be representing all Phoenix fans.

The statement that I "criticise almost everything any journo reporting on the story says as biased, factually incorrect, unimportant" is also an exagerration. I certainly don't appreciate the way Dave Burgess and Matt Nippert have generally reported on this story, but they are both tabloid style hacks who in the UK would be working for red-tops. On the other hand I was recently complimentary about a Terry Serepisos story written by the Dom Post business desk which was balanced, factual and free of "Phoenix are doomed" spin. Long may that continue.

I kinda have to agree with you. I don't believe from what I keep hearing that terry can continue to run the phoenix. I hear he has a last ditch plan in motion, but to me it seems a long shot. However, if he can pull it off then that would be fantastic. Its just it seems a long shot and knowing that there is a another buyer out there who has a clean image and great cash flow is extremely frustrating.
At the same time, it is not Yellow Fevers mandate to boss terry about and see the books (as much as we would love to!). How often around the world can supporters do that? Maybe if we put a supporters trust together??
