Foley up here smoking crack. They played good ball because they had a well oiled peak age team. As soon as they aged too far it went to shit and Corica got found out as a coach.

I can only assume Foley's deep pockets are gonna allow Coricas weakness to be papered over again.

2 seperate issues. We do need to expand to get the quantity of games up. BUT we need good owners, not the macshits abd Bullshits owners with personal agendas. Or some dodgy kent trying yo buy a club for $1.

We need billionaires with proper football backing ala Auckland.

Quantity of games can be done by having 3 rounds.

I'm not convinced of the value of expanding just to get more games if the clubs are going to the wall every few years.

We need billionaires with proper football backing ala Auckland.

We have been needing them for ever.

Personally I don't think more billionaires is the answer. Relying on individuals to keep throwing their money away to fund clubs doesn't seem like a great solution to make up for bad management and no long-term planning.

Exactly, we need more good administrators (and owners willing to listen to them) not billionaires.

If every club had a Shaun Mielekamp running them then the depth of the pockets of the owners would not be a major factor and the league would be in a much better place.

Shaun ought to run APL not 2 of Danny's mates.

Yes, can't think of anyone better.

Also no, from a purely selfish perspective I don't want him to ever leave the Mariners.

Well CFG are in charge now so we get to see how billionaires are gonna run the game. Foley must be happy with them because CFG are running his team.
