Ugh, that's terrible. For a start, I'm pretty sure our viewer numbers and away crowds on the other side of the Tasman aren't the worst in the league. Secondly, despite how many times it's repeated no one has been able to explain how having the Nix in the A League prevents an Aussie club being in there. There's been 3 expansion clubs since the Nix started and they're talking about adding at least 2 more. Two clubs have folded too. Thirdly, saying the development system is yet to produce a standout is unfair when the current setup hasn't been round long enough to judge and previously we developed Rojas who is arguably the best, most exciting player in the league. Then he says that Leicester had the best players in key positions last year, which is kind of bollocks. Yeah Kante, Mahrez and Vardy had great seasons but going into that season no one would have put any of them near the league's best. Leicester is an example of what can happen when everything gels for a team of average players.

Then he points out the international nature of ACFC's squad as a positive despite the fact it's the major question mark over whether Ramon could adapt to the A League. And finally he seems completely ignorant of the fact that Ramon doesn't have the correct qualifications for the role.

Just bollocks from start to finish really.
