METRICS = $$$$$$$$

There are no other metrics that will motivate the FFA. That's it. They want (lots) more money.

Like I said though, clubs are running at losses all over the show, one is already in FFA hands, 2 others are on the verge of financial collapse, and yet the FFA think that we are a financial liability. 

The FFA dont thinik we are a financial liability at all. In fact the complete opposite. Like you said several clubs have been or nearly are on the verge of going bankrupt but the FFA see a club who is financially fairly healthy like the Phoenix and they wanna squeeze as much out of them as they can.

On the plus side it definitely appears from what Lowey and Gallop is saying, that the FFA's tone towards the Phoenix is softening and like others have said if we have to rebrand to NZ Phoenix to keep the club alive for another 10 years then I am all for it. So what if only 50% of the games are played at Westpac. Who knows it may even encourage fans to travel a bit more to watch the Nix play..
