So, to sum up:
- players don't care
- coaches not up to it
- good imports leaving
- no crowds
- not enough fan engagement
- travelling circus makes it all worse
- owners out of ideas
- crap stadium
- crap weather
Seriously though. Should Welnix just pull the plug if it's as bad as the forum consenus seems to think? You'd be severely optimistic if you think any of the above will change next season unless the club's sold or licence yanked.

Based on all the above points we should just move back to Auckland

And get crowds of 1,000 again......or lower.
We have finished last or second to last 3 times out of the last 4 seasons and we're currently 8th and only separated from 9th by goal difference. That's as strong a case for wholesale changes as you could ask for.

Luckily it seems that we only have to do as well as CCM in crowds and TV ratings to trigger the next license extension so we do have the time to rebuild the club.
Hypothetically speaking. If we did get Ramon. Which players from Auckland City would we want and who don't we want to join? I haven't seen them enough to comment. Yours please?

only if they qualify as locals I would look at Bilen potentially as a DM (bit of a question mark on mobility though) and maybe de Vries (but I would need to learn how to spell it)

Welnix are part of the problem, their lack of apparent care for the club and lack of real investment in the home base is a massive part of all of the above.

Getting a 31 year old to be a co head coach is always a massive risk, even if he's got lots of coaching experience.
you could read that as "taking the cheapest option" was always going to be a massive risk. Even if it was the safest bet due to knowing what greenie and bucks offered.

Because they knew that if they accepted it, they would replace him with his assistants
yet they spent the money on a sham of an interview process.

With 11 players off contract Welnix need to make a decision about next years coach ASAP,so whoever they appoint can be a part of the process. If they piss around like they did when Ernie left we are going to back in the situation of having a new coach working with players he had no part in signing.Because surely Des and Greenie are gone.
The fact that they have no say in next years team indicates that they're out.
This might be a naive question but does the board always make the final decisions on players in every professional club or does the gaffer get more say than the Nix do?

The Board or their representatives always have the final say. They have to approve the funding. Even Ferguson talks about having more or less hassle with various gaffers during his career. Mostly he talks about them being very supportive, but then, he was Ferguson and that was Man U.

This question is a no starter unless Ramon sorts out his coaching license. It may well be that this has been discussed face to face with him by Welnix and resulted in the appointment of the dynamic duo ("we'll keep your seat warm for you Ramon in the meantime"), but I am not prepared to speculate further on that until I get a reliable proof Ramon is doing the correct license as we speak.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days
Wenger might be available shortly, he's great at getting teams to 4th.

That's why I said hypothetically. ;-) Does he even want the job? How long does it take to get a Pro Licence.

Although Des and Chris have said that they're just advisors to the football comity so they aren't on it? Presumably there needs to be a business case put to the board if they're going to blow out the salary cap on a marquee so there will be some too and throe going on.
This has the potential to be the most painful job interview in football

I hope that one is a hypothetical too. No marquee signing would save our season, unless it is a marquee coach.

Gotta assumed some sort of deal has been done for the next coach?
Be a bloody quick coaching course to get done in 6 months or so, and conveniently timed.
Angel Berlanga is probably an A-League quality centreback, and would be useful if Rossi moves on. TAHW and Clayton Lewis not bad shouts, especially as they're Kiwis. Zubikarai in goal maybe, if Moss leaves?

Apparently it takes 18 months, I remember reading that he'd started it though?
Hopefully it can be expedited, it's a part time course but with the length of our off season he can deadicate more time to it and get through it quicker.

He doesn't need to have it done by the offseason though, just by the start of the new season - and even then they can probably drag it out for a bit into the season as you can have a caretaker for a few weeks without a pro license.
As supporters you appear to be advocating the Welnix pull the plug. Ernie could not fix it, Greeningham are struggling with the same players. Costa came back for 3 minutes before Kosta took over again. Roy kicked out of game. Doyle suffered an elbow assault.
The new TV deal will mean the only thing we give them is a time slot on the controller of the league "FoxSport" so we don't get to many Thursday night or games playing at the same time.
The extra player money(from new TV deal) will make any Australian based add-on team competitive. Australian player of quality will only look at Nix as a last resort very close to the end of preseason. (Unless we get them young from lower leagues and give them time to develop)
Ramble ramble off topic.
We can't fix it on here. Get bums on seats improve NZ based income.
The Cap and our Roster stops to much competition for game day spots.

Not convinced Ramon is the answer,he isn't going to be able to have the number of imports he had at the moment. Is that going to have any affect on how he would be able to handle it.
Given how many goals the club shipped on the weekend seems like there needs to be a bloody good look at all things football.

If say there's 9 quality Aussie youngsters ready for a professional contract one year then on average each Aussie club will get one. Add in more clubs and some clubs miss out, so the quality is spread more thinly. Meanwhile if there's one kiwi kid ready for pro football we have no rivals for his signature (as a local youth prospect) in the A League regardless of how many Aussie clubs there are.
It might make kiwis more attractive as imports if there's more Aussie A League sides, but it wouldn't be as significant because there's 200+ other football nations imports could also come from. Even if more kiwis do become imports that will at least benefit NZ football even if it's not good for the Nix.
