Amazing presentation along the lines of..... Look here is a Bank statment. It shows we have $4m sitting ready to go. Pretty convincing and very short!
If the FFA are really ready to hand the Nix licence over to whoever shows up with a bunch of money, then they're freakin' stupid. I would have hoped that the Phantasmic 5 would have also made a presentation convincing them that they actually have the knowledge, skills and commitment to make the Nix a success, competing for the HAL title and expanding the fanbase in New Zealand. (The "commitment" thing is still Terry's ace in the hole.)
I wasn't around back then, but I seem to remember that whoever owned the Kings and Knights had a budget, but not a hell of a lot else.
Option 1: Guy desperately trying (and probably failing) to stave off bankruptcy.
Option 2: FFA spend their money trying to prop the club up short-term.
Option 3: New guys arriving saying we've got money and are willing to take the lead on this thing.
If you're the FFA, which is the most appealing option?
Addition to option one,Guy desperately trying (and probably failing) to stave off bankruptcy and taking the club down with him.
If you are a fan what is the most appealing option?
