We've finished 8th, 6th, 4th, 6th, 4th, 10th, 9th, 4th and 9th
the average of that lot is slightly better than 7th.
I've been there for every season and missed only 4 home games.
Are we pulling our weight in the league as far as entertainment goes? If where we've finished in the League is any measure, then, no, we've not.
Bringing a market of 4m to the League was the idea. Having performances that draw crowds often not much more than 4k and TV audiences out of NZ presumably not much more than that isn't pulling our weight.
Bosnich has a fair point in my book. Getting all defensive about it is understandable. It's our team. But really, the club needs to do better. A lot better.
Astute post .
The aleague wants a 80 million dollar media.
FFA see this as a minimum and fans want more.
FFA want to take football to the number one code in Australia. The Nix are welcome v
ery welcome if they add to the media deal.
Conventional wisdom is saying new Australian based teams will add revenue.
You have I guess 3 and a bit years left to make it work but endlessly pointing to the good you have done and how hopeless FFA are . I don't think solves anything if anything it hinders folk who may have some ideas from coming forward. Further it could mask what needs to be done.
Just on the bids as I read them contrary to some posts above many have government andcouncil financial support and some if not most have some big time business folk behind them.
The ball is in your hands or at your feet its a local call on how to react. The Bos rant is reflective on how people seem to be reacting.
Before anyone is want as is often the case CCM have offocially stated that the CEO n the number of Socceroos produced has been our insurance policy . So yes less but CCM is also under the hammer.
