Very glad that Rob is our chairman. He obviously won't suffer foolishness and will name anyone that he thinks isn't doing their bit. Gives me big hope that we will appoint a decent coach this time round.
I also appreciated his positive feedback to the hardcore Nix supporters.

Glad he called out NZF. Survival of the Nix is hugely important overall for football in NZ. 

Must fudge the owners off that they bleed their own hard earned to ensure that survival, yet someone like Martin the head of football in the country and who draws a nice safe salary, offers so little in support. That support doesn’t have to be financial. 

I'm ambivalent on that claim. I agree that support needn't be fiscal but I also don't think at the most simple level, NZF should be using members money to support a private business [WelNix]. Another can of worms and I know its not a black and white issue.

Agreed that it's not so black and white - but the fact of the matter is that if the Nix were to fold tomorrow, NZF loses a major pathway for young, future AWs. Seems like that would be quite an important consideration..
