I know the common view here is that this is completely untrue yada yada, and it probably is.

However, articles like this making their way in to the herald and radio sport etc do turn off the general NZ public from the Phoenix brand. It’s the general public that needs to be encouraged to turn up on game day - not told the club is looking to fold early.

I suspect that is the motivation behind the original article(s) - one or more of the potential expansion clubs and/or Fox Sports Australia and/or the FFA trying to do what they can to weaken the Phoenix's image going forward to try to increase the chance that the metrics won't be met, or that the owners really will lose heart.
