I'm telling you, WelNix are holding on until the club is worth real money.
really? so why did they turn down the $7.5 million that was offered to them recently?
say what you like about the Welnix, their main aim, stated at the time they took over, was to keep a professional football side in Wellington and I doubt that has changed at all
2.7.5 m is not even the current going rate for an A League Club, Brisbane turned down a 10m bid for the club see here
3. What makes you so certain that their main aim is to keep a professional football side in Wellington? You are prepared to believe what they say on that occasion despite being lied to by them a number of times since. If they were that determined, then I doubt they would be taking the team to Auckland and Canberra, if their aim is as you stated, surely they'd just suck it up and keep the games in Wellington and build their local fan base rather than kicking them in the teeth as and when its suits them to.
1 - proof would be great, but a private business like the southern consortium isn't going to show you their offer document (if there was one, it could have been a verbal discussion to see if there was any point pursing it). It was reported in several places at the time
2 - they were bidding for the licence not the club - and not all clubs are the same, Melbourne Victory would get a higher price than us or CCM as they have a much bigger fan base
3 - If Welnix didn't want to keep a professional side in Wellington, why didn't they bail when the licence issue came up?
When have Welnix lied to us? they may not have communicated things well or not said anything when they probably should have or done things we don't like, but as far as I'm aware they have never lied
