Pretty sure Welnix will bank the transfer fee paid for Brockie, so there is that, plus given that we make the playoffs, i don't see why the club wouldnt turn over a profit this season? They didn't lose much last season, and we came dead last.

They said that costs have increased this year, the playing squad is more expensive and the weenix also cost.

uh... The wages up to the cap are covered by FFA so that's incorrect and as we all know, we don't use marquee spots.

The Weenix I grant you

They said a while back that the squad is more expensive. So either we were under the cap or (as has been rumoured) WeeMac is partially outside of the cap as a domestic marquee.

Ironically there is an article about it today in stuff:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/sport/phoenix...

Not sure thats a recent article. 11/10/2014 suggests October but easy enough mistake to make on first glance.

If someone is outside the cap, its a first for the Phoenix and I wonder why the change of tune and also not mention it....

The article does mention we have a full squad, not sure when we released Caira but that was some time ago. We could still be under the cap, minimum amount of spend is 80% of cap. Will be down to 21 soon.
