Piney's interview with God
Morrison: Positive talks on Phoenix Future

I just don't understand what Morrison wants from NZF. In this interview he acknowledges they already support the club financially but says that is not what it is about. In the past few days he has asked them through the media for "actionable steps" and "thinking outside the box". Now in this interview he says he wants a "shared infrastructure". What does he mean? If he has a proposal for a new way of managing the club he should lay it on the table. Very strange to put the burden on NZF to come up with a new model. That's not their job any more than it is to come up with club strategies for ACFC or Canterbury United.
It's the fact that NZF staff are discouraging junior kids from moving to Wellington. It's Nix Youth vs Wanderers. It's NZF having a fudgeing original thought beyond "let's get the ASBP on the telly - that will solve things". It's the garbage that ACFC are the standard bearer for NZF but have hardly any kiwis. It's recognising that he Phoenix are keeping the game afloat in this country. It's the whole bloody lot
Sounds to me like he wants someone from Welnix on the NZF board. Or vice versa.
Here some idea what it could be that NZF and Welnix could do. What about a NZ pre-season, post-season Nix tour around NZ to bring the Nix brand into towns. What about mid week games against ASB teams around the country. What about inviting potential kids to train with the A, B and kids team? What about local trainers joining the Phoenix for a week or two from the master? What about sending players to football schools and talk about the job, similar what Siggy is doing.
