    Belief the issues at the Wellington Phoenix run deeper than just departed coach Giancarlo Italiano

    Belief the issues at the Wellington Phoenix run deeper than just departed coach Giancarlo Italiano


    The Australian sensationally quit in the wake of the 5-nil home loss to Auckland FC.

    But former All Whites goalkeeper Jacob Spoonley says while a new manager will bring energy the players do need to take some responsibility.



    The Phoenix are likely to front media early this week - their next game is against Sydney FC a week today.
