Honestly, I think you guys are taking this too seriously. We have seen exactly these threats before. This is the FFA talking shark to gullible journalists to spook Welnix into doing... something. I don't think they want to get rid of us. Dome and Morrison, unlike most club ownerships, have never needed a bailout.

I don't think we are taking this too seriously. The club has a very short time - two seasons - to meet some metrics imposed on them. It's easy to say that if we fall short, but get close, we can probably survive with a bit of FFA goodwill. But... there's no guarantee that goodwill will be there. The Nix must act as if the executioners axe could fall in the near future, and do its utmost to avoid it. Not tweak a few things and hope for the best. We need a good coach (like, tomorrow!) and a stronger, winning team for next season which will automatically boost crowd numbers. The owners also need to put hands in pockets and buy a couple of top drawer players who will excite the fan base, and maybe even the media. Saying, meh, relax, we'll survive without urgent action is simply short sighted and dangerous.
