I believe what he(Morrison) is suggesting, is that the Nix could be a feeder club or nursery for a serious club outside of the A League like City did. NOT merge with another A League club. Also I note potential A League candidates have not spoken to just the Nix but to the other clubs too. Probably checking out their business plans and how they operate. Another convenient fact lost on the media and message boards.
It would be nice if he'd actually clarified that then, because the comments were a little light on detail.
What is there to clarify? Basically they are happy to talk to any potential equity partners/white knights.
They would love a new party to inject some cash.
What the final structure of any equity partnership/cash investment would be - they probably don't even know themselves.
But they are experienced business types, pretty skilled no doubt in the art of negotiation. Every 'business' deal has negotiable terms - so any final structure could be anything & everything. Keeping the Nix in Wellington is the main thing.
The big issue in the background of course, is trying to also broker an Independent A League. Get that across the line, and then any investment into the Nix by someone new, becomes a lot more attractive.
Rob Morrison is no doubt a busy boy at the moment, just let him get on with it.
