Wellington Phoenix

Wouldn't it be similar to NZ allowing an Aus team in the NPC?
I agree that from a NZ point of view the Phoenix are pretty critical but you can forgive A-League fans for not wanting them there. I don't like defending Mr DildoinMouth (@mariner4life) but I think his criticism was more about their contribution to the A League as a whole not their importance to NZ soccer. I'd also say he's far more of a soccer fan than the vast majority here. He's a strong supporter of the team that will not will the PL this year.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Don't get me started on people who support Euro clubs and don't support their local teams..

@booboo Respectfully disagree. If the Hurricanes have 2 or 3 terrible seasons, how many on here want to get rid of them?
I want to get rid of them no matter what season they have...

23k for a pointless team at Eden Park; not bad.

Someone looks like he is parlaying his performance in Wellington into a bigger better gig back in Oz
-
Excellent.
The result — their biggest ever win— sees the Phoenix move five points clear of seventh-place Newcastle Jets, with the top-four now a realistic target for Mark Rudan's side.
-
They got the opposition coach sacked after the game too - another first (?) for the Phoenix!

Watched his post game interview and whilst the result was an absolute shocker, I certainly didn’t expect him to get fired so soon after the match.

Rudan intends to leave, so that's the end of the good times.......

Classy move by the boss, I don't think you can argue when family is involved. Hopefully the club and build on the foundations he has laid

I'm shocked!! MVP, Golden Boot and didn't want to stay?????
I'm hoping he isn't going to a rival, rather I hope he is going further abroad.

@Hooroo From the article:
The Australian chief football writer Ray Gatt is tweeting that Krishna has signed with a club in Korea.@Stargazer wow that is a huge loss. especially on the back of Rudan.
Hmmm what are the chances of a failed contract in Korea only to fortuitously be offered a 'life line' by Western United. Pure coincidence of course...
