So pretty much what the Phoenix do then?

As JD said.

I think the NZF thing is more to do with them making an effort, or more accuretly stop making an effort to counter the Phoenix.  Hay and Zorocich pressuring kids to go to their schools instead of the Phoenix, including the Phoenix in planning around developement, maybe even just include the Phoenix in the NZF awards even as guests.  

It wouldn't be hard for NZ football to do more, it would be difficult for them to do less.

Nah. He specifically requested from NZF "leadership", and action (unspecified), and soon, rather than "strategy". But what?

Sorry the Nix are a professional football club ( a business ) they shouldn't be depending on NZF to do anything for them. Does the English FA contribute in any way to Chelsea or Arsenal etc?

I get that, and I agree. But if it's a choice between NZF contributing and the nix survive or not having a professional team at all? 

I'm not convinced if those are the actual choices available. What guarantee is there of that? Have FFA said that?
