When transparency means looking disorganised compared to Auckland, then I'd rather not be transparent.
why bother comparing us to AFC?
let them do their thing and the Nix do theirs!

Corica said last year that they were looking at three strikers.
He said his top pick was a South American who had played in the MLS. So by saying that he obviously was fairly confident. The guy used to play under him at Sydney and ended up signing for the top league in Mexico instead.
So they ended up with an out of contract Cosgrove who was playing in unwanted player games in the UK.
So even AFC doesn’t get what they always want.
"Ending up with a Cosgrove instead" did not seem to be a bad move as Cosgrove topped the goals chart with 12.

Ah, Cosgrove... how we love to hate him. Objectively, as a striker he is ... limited (to say the least) and yet ... he claimed the golden boot!
It really beggars belief, I guess a sign of where the A League is at.
This will be an interesting season for him though - let's see his output with a general decline in the quality around him.
