Understand the need for a cone of silence over recruitment discussions - when do you think you may be in a position to make some announcements (e.g. days, weeks, or months).

Tony, have you ever been tempted to go into the Transfer Speculation thread under another username and get some ridiculous rumours going, for a laugh?

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

What's your favourite thing about living in Wellington?

When attempting to recruit players, what do you tell them about Wellington's weather?

If the Phoenix get a youth team, will Stu Jacobs be in the running to be coach?

Tony, how are negotiations going for extending the license beyond the current three year arrangement?

How is the business side of the club (and Terry's pockets) considering you indicated we needed an average crowd of 10K this season to break even and we fell well short of that?  Obviously Terry spoke about running at a loss for season one and possibly season two, but were things tough from a financial aspect this season?

How much do you hate the AFC President on a scale from 1-10 and if you were allowed to do one nasty thing to him what would it be?

How likely is it that we will have a youth team in for next season?

Have they learnt the lessons of the Knights and all other A League teams in steering clear of british players, minus Charlie Miller they have flopped.
 
I am concerned we were linked with ywo UK players recently, there is a risk with Brazilians but at least with the Brazilians some turn out to be good players!

Daniel, Felipe, Diego (hopefully), Alemao, Fred, Amaral and Cassio just to name a few - I think they stack up very well.

Neil Emblen is a quality player.  But I must say, how dare you question the quality of George?

Extensions to this.

1. Do the club believe the style of play this season impacted the crowds ?
2. Do you think the general public of Wellington knew when the Phoenix were playing this season ?
3. Is there any chance the FFA will be more realistic in the game times we get next season ?

If you rule out the Knights disaster, the percentage of successful British players would be higher than the successful Brazilian ones.  Even at the Knights Emblen > Fernando.
