Question1 - I heard NZ Knights were appointing a "Techncial Director" from the UK. Is this correct and what immediate changes will we see this season in the playing staff

Question2 - There is a perception that there is a clash between the Knights and the NZFA. Is this true and how can this be rectified if it is true

Name: Alistair

1) What steps do the Knights need to take in order to ensure long-term viability in the A-League?

2) What effect does international travel have on the team? Other sides only need to cross the Tasman once or twice in a season whereas the Knights need to do it every couple of weeks. Do you think this has had an impact on your results?

[Liam]

1) What steps will the NZK take to ensure that their product is not just inclusive of the people of Auckland but ALL of New Zealand?

2) Are the footballing department of NZK looking overseas to New Zealand players abroad, and perhaps bringing them back as a marquee player?

what steps are they taking to win games

[bosto]

KFC seem to be recruiting heavily from the Victorian Premier League, and the lower English Leagues rather than signing "big name" players or players at the peak of their career. Why is this the case? Is it a monetary issue, or is it harder to attract these types of players to the Land of the long white cloud?

Quenstion 1: Being one of the more promising players for the knights this year how have you rated your performances and is there more to come from you.
Question 2: Do you think the New Zealand Knights are making the right steps foward to improvemnet.

[Ascoli Calcio]

did your mum drop you at birth? I actually had a chuckle...:D

[VictoryPride]

When do you plan to play football and start attacking...because you're defencive football is boring to watch and really not effective hence bottom position and worst crowds.

Have you noticed a strong correlation between playing attacking, fluent passing football, wins and huge crowds....does that suggest something to you, that perhaps everyone should be playing more like Melbourne and the league will be better for it?

What do you think NZK bring to the league besides an overseas tour to see some sheep and drink with you're pub team?
