With the greatest respect to women and women's football, Gareth et al had a going concern to step in and take over, (albeit on the bones of it's arse) so they obviously saw an opportunity. Bit of a different proposition. I'm all for dreams, vision and idealism, but then again I wouldn't be the one who'd be pouring my money into a black hole. Could argue that the Nix aren't making money, so what's the attraction for any businessman to take on a new project which is going to add to the financial losses? As has been mentioned, nobody has actually addressed the nuts and bolts of how it would be sustainable, just a lot of talk about how it should happen.
Like I said earlier, agree with the idea. the reality isn't quite that cut and dried though.
The only thing I can think of is that they have a fairly large new (or perhaps existing) sponsor waiting in the wings who has indicated they will pump a load of money in if the Nix have a W League team. Not really sure Welnix as a group have a desire to throw more money at the club
Which would be great, if that's the case. Just finding it interesting that the FFA and others acroos the Tasman are (allegedly) unhappy about what the Phoenix are bringing to the W League but would consider allowing a "SheNix" team into the A League. Different set of criteria and expectations, maybe? Which would completely fly in the face of the 'pro-equality' side of the argument, or maybe pragmatism rears it's ugly head then?
