"Last days of the Kingz" is a panicked overreaction of the type that people make to try to get attention. Sure, I don't have great hopes for this season. But the Kingz had 2 wooden spoon seasons in 3 years, followed by 2 in a row more from the Knights. We're mid-table. I'm not happy with that, but it's like people can't take the W from the fact that we even still have an A-League club after the years of Gallop, Lowy and "metrics".
There also seems to be a breakneck turnaround from people saying "an Auckland A-League team will never succeed, it'll fail like the Knights because JAFAs are useless" to saying "oh noes the Auckland A-League team will totally eat our lunch".
