Phoenix Ownership - Rob says FTFFA (Part 2)

Do we think the club will/should release a statement denying the claims? (Assuming they're untrue)

given they have come from Covet Agent errr NO

Some guidance needed ... can you pull up a list of posts you have made I went into """my account"" and it gave some history of my joining... but I wanta find some posts I made a while back....

Proably simple I just don't seem to be able to work it out.

Just about everybody is bamboozled by this apparent lack of interest in making this club work from a group of 'rock star business owners' - its these type of rumours/speculation/truth that tend to give a bit of sense to us all thinking "what the fudge are they doing?"

Why do you think there's a lack of interest? Because they prefer to stay out of the limelight? It appears that Morrison in particular is working extremely hard.

These aren't "rockstar businessmen" they're low risk and prudent businessmen, for the most part they're people that own HRL Morrison and co who invest in infrastructure which are long term investments, other businesses from the owners include energy companies. The only one in there that you could apply the term "Rockstar" to is Morgan but even that is mainly due to his son.

There isn't any function to look at your old post history. Best I could suggest is use google advance search and restrict searches to https://www.yellowfever.co.nz/forum

Tony Rallis - aka Covert Agent aka agent of Hamish Watson and Ryan de Vries

When you put it all together, you understand that the Phoenix could sign Cristiano and it would still be the worst move ever according to Tony.

Is Morrison still a leader in the move for the owners to take over running the HAL?

Totally Believable - never gets it wrong that man. 

Look, guys, for those of us who're not as up on the gossip and who's who, it becomes difficult to tell when you're being sarcastic or not. :)

Assuming that Covert Agent = T. Rallis, what would be his agenda behind making it look like "the Nix are over"?

Tony Rallis is this Covert Agent and he has an agenda. Normally what is best for him and who he manages and not for the clubs that he speaks too.

100%. 

Remember this is the same Rallis who has tried to shoehorn Ramon into three A-League clubs and an All Whites gig all the while misrepresenting his clients qualifications...

He's about as honest as Lance Armstrong, there is always a personal agenda.

Ew.  That is the most horrific co-incidence in my life. 

It's pretty clear they have a plan which involves developing players to offset the fact that they can't spend big on marquees. It seems to be working but maybe not fast enough.

So what we have is the football media amplifying the voice of a dude who's deliberately telling porkies for personal gain because it makes good clickbait. And this is why 21st century journalism has a bad reputation.

I'd say this is about a good a sauce as you can get

please..

Thanks.

I was calling bs

Yep, you were.

what tense is that Ryan?

I'll also call bs on that one, kiwis played the less minutes then ever this season. 

Second person past tense if I'm not mistaken.

So for the next two years we get academy kids to go with the wooden spoon? Fk me dead what kind of offset is that??.

so he is correct now you mean?

Maybe - I haven't looked at the stats, but the Phoenix had a hard tack by saying that they wouldn't focus on kiwis at the end of last season which may have caused it.

When WelNix bought the club they talked about developing young kiwis as the best way to be competitive, they setup the academy, and this year we've had Ridenten, Singh, and Cacace having breakout seasons. Greenacre has also said recently that he thinks there's a few more who are ready to step up as well.

That seems to me that they had / have a plan that's being executed.

Yes, he was correct in the fact that he was clarifying that he was calling bullshark. The bullshark part wasn't correct.

lurching from having kiwis , too not having kiwis to back too having kiwis. 

Little wonder we get fudge all right on the pitch

The question was 'how do we know this?'

Do you have a proper answer?

I always thought these sorts of accounts were multiple people.

Yeah, I took a look (it needs a bit of work eh?!) but I unless I missed it I couldn't see anything there that said he was the covert agent
