Is the 8 lucky young players likely to contain a goal keeper or just outfield players?
wonder when we'll find out who they are, any whispers come from the club?
Not sure Gouldy is here yet, Ricki is in the UK, suspect Greenie is away as well.
Doesn't really leave anyone to sort recruitments for a while.
We will never fully decide who has won the football.

The alarming thing is HN was in it.. Purple haze eh?

I saw Arsenal criticising the smileys earlier, and thought 'are bad smileys really worth a complaint' but WOW, that really is demented.
Gareth Morgan just on Live sport now saying 8 players had been approached and all have agreed and will start training 3rd week of June.
nice - so we can expect an announcement soon then
Great to hear this.Just commented on above thread re academy players and wondered if anything was happening.
Ricki said to me today that the 8 players will be contracted by TW, train with phoenix, play mid week games ala the Nix reserves. In the winter time they will be joined by some younger players (16yos) who will play mid week games against Central League teams
Oh and Greenie is meant to be coaching the winter team.
Loving the scoops from the Solomons, thanks 2B 
I have another one that I might hold up my selves for the podcast.

Have heard there's going to be a couple of Melville guys in there? Will weaken Waikato, but I'm sure they don't care, the logical career path. If that's the case then good luck to them
Goods news about the Academy kicking off.....so Greenie is going to be the Academy coach. Hmmmmm!
Can anyone enlighten me on Greenies coaching background, his experiance with youth coaching and his experiance and knowledge of the the NZ youth football scene???

Who cares about any of that?
The most important thing is that he is a known quantity to the Nix, and he will follow Ricki's lead.
I'd rather the organisation goes with someone they know inside out and that they believe can do the job than bring somebody new to the club who ticks all those boxes above, but turns out to be a c**t.
Christ, John Aloisi is doing the same coaching course as Greenie and he'll be coaching the Heart first team next season!
Expect an announcement very soon. So bets on who we pick up?
Rowe, Fenton, Basalaj should be pretty much locked in you would think.
Possibles: Lucas? Carmichael? Lovemore? Thomas? Galbraith? Edge?
To be honest I havn't seen much of NZFC players other than TeeDubs games and the few in Age-group teams

I imagine Rowe having previously been on a profesional contract wouldn`t be happy being offered an academy spot
More likely interested in a paid U21 position
I have another one that I might hold up my selves for the podcast.
After listening, I'm not sure what was up your sleeves?
Give the team a scoop and they forget about talking about it. Numpties.
Hopefully it will still be our scoop next week.
Funnily, we did talk about it before starting the recording...and then promptly forgot about it.
But that is no way to entice listeners.

I think Ryan Thomas would probably be a sure-fire inclusion, very young and talented. Edge (the Jesse version) and Tyler Boyd may be around the fringes, I wouldn't be shocked if one of them got in. I'm so-so on Lovemore, and agree on the Team Wellington guys as being sure things

Third week of June is technically next week. But I assume its the week after?
Regardless, there should be announcement pretty soon, otherwise we will be able to rock up to Newtown Park and find out ourselves.
I'm thinking they are waiting till after the OFC to make the announcement? But hope they do make a big deal out of the st up
expecting an announcement about these guys very soon now Ricki's back in town

Announcemnent was due this coming week wasn't it?
Rowe would be good fo the top side - we need a specialist RB - Manny does a great good there but he's more a holding mid. We haven't had a decent out n out RB that I think of - Disco Troy was converted.
