To be fair, I certainly have given up on the club ever putting together a competitive squad in this league. We don't have the resources and we never will because that's how the A-League runs and those are the terms for even having a sustainable club at all. The joy of being a Nix fan will be watching young Kiwis get developed, do some great stuff and then go off to a better future.
This nonsense about resources.... Glory, Adelaide, Mariners have all won the league on pretty similar budgets to ones we've had. It's the A-League, hardly a league where the same teams dominate every year and are impossible to topple. 
I mean, to be fair, the issue is that WelNix are savvy businesspeople, and have made the Nix sustainable financially - even given our relatively lame crowds - to the point where we're valued and respected by the other club owners. And they've done that by *not* splashing the cash on marquee players in the hope of winning the league.
