Phoenix Ownership - Rob says FTFFA (Part 2)

Please be more specific.

As an aside - what is this company and why is the CF CEO a director?

Isn't that the Nix academy based at Scots College?

My frustration stems from being clueless as to the intentions of Welnix and their running of the club.

I could have probably drawn some conclusions a lot earlier but you like remain hopeful that we're shark because things are tough or choices are made when there a factors that are out of the owners control

For all we know the club died four and a bit years ago.

They have been shady from the beginning, and when we have learnt something about them, their stated goals have often been contrary to previously stated desires.

This is personal but I am a little despondent about all things football, with Kosta coming home (+ the above). 

I love Kosta, and yes there is glory in playing football here, I believe, but with the season he's had, my guess was that he would have wanted to make a splash on the world scene. To be honest I am little disappointed.

Hudson's talked about some players are just wired differently (wood) and maybe that is true.

Interested in any examples you can give.

WTF Not sure what your expecting but its only recently Welnix has been given the extension.Not really sure what you expected then to do when things were in limbo,If you were expecting sort of plan for the future your in dreamland you sound like you would prefer no money Terry back,

Use of the salary cap, is relevant to what I am talking about.

Care to elaborate?

I won't because if you are not aware of it by now I'm guessing you never will be.

Wow.  Forum stupidity just hit a new high.  /sigh

What's wrong with how we spend the cap? You don't like the fact that we spend more than it? Is that what's concerning you?

Or the fact that we don't spend 1.4 million dollars on marquees like Holosko? He's a great return on investment. Or even 500k on Garcia (which the FFA is paying for not CCM allegedly) - great return there, way better than players that fit under the cap like Fornarolli and Mclaren.

Sorry bud

seems like a classic line to pull when somebody calls you out for an answer and you don't have one to give. 

erm... what?

So are we, Was interested to learn.

Wait a second.  Are you my wife?

WTF? In comparison to Terry?!?

I smell drugs reading this post

Sorry Yellow but on this thread I disagree. I don't think Welnix have done too bad considering the FFA have held a gun at their head for the last 2 seasons with various threats of losing the licence etc.

All good.

Each to their own.

I'll go further and say that without the Welnix doing the negotiation (specifically Rob) we would not have a club right now.

COYWN

Who'd own a football club? You lose millions of your own dollars only to get abused.

Give it up guys, we just don't get it.

Tony Fernandez is wondering the very same thing at QPR at the moment.

Tony Fernandez is a bit dodgy though - just look at what he did to the Caterham F1 team.

Next month's exco agenda seems to be the last hurdle for us.

I'm curious about this Team of Legends business

The Greek situation is that the HFF got suspended from UEFA after the Greek government stopped the league, amirite?

Ah, I thought it was about preventing Greece from winning the UEFA Championship again, like they did against the favourites Portugal in 2004, thus costing the bookmakers a mint.

And that immortal quote.....

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/jul/04/mi...

"56 mins: Portugal 0 - 1 Greece. In the 56th minute, the only underdogs in history that everyone wants to see get beaten, score from their very first corner of the match. Slack Portugal marking allows Angelos Haristeas scores with a straightforward header from about eight yards, with Ricardo caught in no-man's land."

@Doloras Nope, I think it's referring to the Greek Cup semi-final between PAOK and Olympiacos was postponed due to the home (PAOK) fans running onto the field in protest over corruption. The decision which caused that was a penalty that wasn't given in the 85+ minute.

I'm Greek, so I watched the match highlights and the protests were fair enough. I used to be a Olympiakos fan and I've switched to the team currently in 5th place (Panionios) due to the Red-and-Whites' constant domination.

The cup final is apparently set at May 19th(?) by Livescore.com but.. we'll see. This is the cup that gets you into the Champions League, I believe. Or the qualifying stages, I cannot remember.

@Mainland FC You don't have to worry about that, we're not winning it again hahaha
