They're 100% being bought by a billionaire for easy access to the CWC money. Especially if it's someone who already owns a club in Europe that doesn't have the strength to make it there on its own.

How was this allowed to happen?
They should've competed with australia+asia for spots in these things

Its literally just one spot out of 32, why the hiperfocus

>>149245379
10-0 blowouts are supposed to happen in qualifiers, not the main event
the skill gap is just too big

>>149245379
They're by a very long shot the worst team to participate in it, which in consequence means they had by far the easiest route to get there. It's literally free money for the first smart investor.

Wait I didn't even get the right Auckland team. Auckland City are the ones at the CWC. Auckland FC don't even play in the New Zealand league, but in the Australian one.

The lower tiers get like 10mil and you dont have a guarantee that this team gets in the next time. Seems like a waste to me.

>>149245415
Yeah so this thread is completely wrong. That billionaire doesn't own acfc

>>149245445
the ofc is just new zealand + a bunch of islands
just mildly improve the team and you'll have a guranteed spot

>you dont have a guarantee that this team gets in the next time
You do if you get Conference League tier players to play for Auckland.

what the fuck are auckland going to do with all their prize money?
they can't go pro - the nz league is semi-pro
there's already a professional aucklandese team in the gAy league
fancy fucking club rooms? get some washed up big name to coach them next time?

>>149246586
buy lambos

Ask the Colombian-Kiwi barber player, he'll know how to launder it for the club
