Phoenix Ownership - Rob says FTFFA (Part 2)

Always trust the Les.

Its not written by Les. And they don't know the difference between licence and license.

I am picking 4 years with rediculously impossible metrics that have a further 4 years tied to them. Just remember, this is the FFA we are dealing with.

Oh, definitely. We will basically have to hope for a change of guard at the FFA that is more reasonable (ahahah) after those 4 years are up,.

And that point really is quite an important one. The FFA, like the NZF, really do need a complete overhaul. Things are falling apart for some personal agendas and lack of vision. The A League, itself, needs to be run by its own organisation whilst the FFA take care of business with the International teams and  various state football authorities.

I don't suppose there is any kind of livestream happening for this announcement? Couldn't sleep last night. Nails bitten etc.

8 minutes and counting

Live feeds (periscope/newshub/onenews)?

Announcement cancelled.  Technical issues.  NZF at fault.

TV 3 live, TVNZ on about DonKey

lols

Morrison, deadpan "Is Australia 2hrs and 5minutes behind us."

Just missed it. What is it????

"opportunity" for ten year licence

... 

10 year license given.

10 year deal!

4:3:3

Ten more years!

so 4-3-3.....

It's a 4-3-3 deal with a focus on growth in crowds and the value of comercial rights from TV in NZ as the conditions that the Phoenix need to meet.

4-3-3 #HURDLES

specific numbers are secret.

In 4 years we talking about the same metrics again.

So I was pretty much rigtht, 4 years and then 4 years upon metric being met.

4-3-3 - going with the dutch system

We live to see another day!

Notice how he hasn't mentioned NZF as one of those supporters lol

COYN!

The Phoenix said that they think that the metrics targets are very acheivable, and if they meet them the extensions are automatically triggered.

Doesn't seem like they are taking more games on the road but are focussing on growing the brand nationally.

Lets hope the FFA don't move the goalposts again in 4 years.

As fans, we now need to get in behind the club so to speak, keep on encouraging others to attend. The Nix need to get in some quality players especially as a few of ours are nearing their retiring date. Full steam ahead! STARTING NEXT FRIDAY night!

fixed

Stopped working for me, bit annoying.

Well done.

I do have issues with the arrangement,

COYN!

No news about TV deal. Just some blurry notes about new media players in the market by technology changes.

No new signings, Ernie bounces question, mentions young players but want to sign new exciting players.

No mentioned of NZF, fail.

"The immediate extension requires the authorisation of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the Asian Football Federation (AFC), Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) and New Zealand Football (NZF)."

Oh shark.....

well we all know who will fudge up the signing here dont we

defensive formation but with chance of scoring goals.  Enables planning and growth.
