Voerman is right this thread has got insane. It ain't gonna stop. There are bound to be more leaked stories out of Australia. Mostly BS.
I support Welnix, but they have got to handle the media better. They need to talk to them. Though will say as a caveat, that was disappointing Stuff basically just reprinted the SMH story - with no mention that previous stories from that paper had been proven by Dome to be false. In other words just don't reprint a story if is a good chance could also be porkies, and quotes no real sources. No doubt that pissed Welnix off.
However the NZ football media is pretty harmless. Talk to them. Welnix's version of events needs to get out there, and most importantly needs to get across the ditch. Talking soley to YF, won't get their view across in Australia. Christ even Pine's Radio Sport interview with Morrison (mainstream NZ media), didn't make the news in Oz.
They so badly need friends in Aussie, to counter punch, this undermining by FFA. How badly is Michael Cockerill (RIP) missed right now?? A high quality respected Australian journo, who always was a friend of NZ football.
It's also a real shame, that none of the chairmen of other A League clubs are speaking out, against the FFA in defence of the Phoenix. Morrison is obviously highly respected by them and the APFCA group. Why are they so quiet, when he is dealing with all this garbage about the Nix? Was good to see South West Sydney expansion bidders, release a text in support of the Nix. But they need some heavy hitting supporters in Australia right now.
Anyway looking forward to the next pod cast - but Welnix need to use mainstream media in NZ better.
THIS to what you say here, Coochiee, and double THIS to chairmen of the other A-League clubs not getting in behind. Doesn't take much, just an assurance from the others that they appreciate the Nix as a club and as competitors and would be reluctant to lose them. Is that too much to ask?
