More latter cannot get the site to post as I want...
The business case for NUJ is really strong, huge soccer following there and very strong juniors

Potential is mega ... has been for years ... its time for delivery ... for the potential to be converted.
Um, all the other HAL teams were given 20 (?) year licences and
not the 'Nix. No matter how poorly the business case is for CCM, NUJ etc. they
still have their licence, while the 'Nix have to jump through hoops (which
other teams don't) to keep theirs rolling on.
Having that licence period is like a noose around our necks, it magnifies all
the negativity around the club. NUJ only a couple of seasons ago had to be
bailed out by the FFA - good luck with the FFA doing the same for the 'Nix.
So AFC issues played no part and your metrics at the time were brilliant and of little or no concern.

You're being paranoid.
There is no conspiracy but it's also clear that the Phoenix have targets to hit and restrictions that the other teams don't. That's just fact.
Also, I doubt my opinion or yours has any bearing whatsoever.
I am not paranoid at all… I simply asked why would metrics not be considered under Hal clubs control…. I then said my belief is we are headed to a full FIFA model …
I will repeat or re word what I see this means… Football is the most capitalist sport in the word… its dog eat dog and the rewards for success are huge the punishment for failure also huge…
Clubs like Melbourne City will want nay demand that all clubs met KPI or metrics or whatever tag you wanta give them…
Again and this is one of those can you accept yes as the answer or do you wanta argue yes should be a different yes …. But no body wants you out if you deliver on the potential NZ folk keep telling us about …. But also please accept there are somewhere between 12 & 16 bids to join the A-League with many coming from former NSL clubs offering to build Football specific stadiums… with the potential to produce derby’s….
Essentially your fate is in your own hands ….
