Summary of Simon Hills comments

Simon Hill says it is not certain and questions why Nix haven't made a comment

Metrics not been met but Hill did admit league numbers where down also

Nix have to do better than other teams because of who we are.

Did admit that expansion clubs have probably been working in the background around this story

Bloody Gareth Morgan comment raised about how he didn't want the license

Explained the story that license would be worth less futher in the go towards the 2 years left.

Hill, if Nix are to go. He sees it more likely FFA will buy the license and take it back than an expansion team getting it.

I don't buy that. The FFA profit off of the HAL, the owners are propping up the league. On top of that we are foreign investment into the HAL, we are not stopping more investment from within Australia setting up new teams.

Yeah but the arguement has always been from the Australian press and some of their public that we do nothing to help Australian football (yes I know, not getting into that discussion) and the fact that we are from NZ, we are natural held to a higher standard than say CCM that isn't facing this same NIXOUT business. From listening to it and his wording it did sound like he thought it wasn't fair but was just the way it is.
