Owners will come and go....its the CLUB thats most important. We owe Terry a huge debt for getting the Nix off the ground but I am not losing any sleep over who owns it. As long as they can support it financially, so that it runs in an orderly fashion, then I don't care if its owned by the Blanket Man. There is no rule to say football owners have to be experts on football. leave that up to the staff.
 
I do take some peoples point that Terry is somewhat "tarnished" in the public eye. This is caused by a combination of a very unfair "tall poppy" media hatchet job led by the Doompost and also some of Terry's somewhat dubious business practices. There is no doubt that the Phoenix brand has been "tarnished "as well. This is exceedingly important as a positive brand attracts more sponsorship, ticket sales etc.
 
If anyone still thinks that Terry is a viable owner then you are in cuckoo land. There is more shiite to come, more people wanting their money. The IRD, ACC and Council rates demands are luking on the horizon. There will be no "orderly selldown of assets". Terry's assessment that his debts are less than his assets is wildely speculative and most certainly wrong.
 
Tranfer of ownership to the "fantastic five" is the most positive source of action for the club. The sooner the better IMO
