A-League thread
one-eyed:
THE owners of Wellington Phoenix are considering selling half the club to a consortium from southwestern Sydney in an unprecedented A-League merger proposal.
While requiring approval from FFA to move forward, under the hybrid model, the team’s training base would shift to Sydney’s southwest with some home games moved to Campbelltown Stadium.
The team would play in black and white, but would revert to the yellow and black Phoenix strip for matches at Westpac Stadium in Wellington.
