Sam isn't a journalist.
Voerman should interview him.
Why is it that a man with his background thinks a professional team is bad for NZ? I know he thinks the National league should be "better" - coaches/players and thus more aspirational; but that not really Nix's issue is it? His line of argument seems to be that the Nix are somehow distracting football's attention, when surely his argument should be aimed fairly and squarely at NZF. I would love a NZ National League that was of higher quality too, but that's NZF's problem.
spot on. I admit I never went to a Team Wellington game before the Phoenix existed. I regularly attend Team Wellington games now.
I'd like to know how much attention the national league got pre Phoenix. My guess is next to less than it gets now.
