Can Wellington recover after losing their coach and a number of star players?
After a season of resurgence under Mark Rudan, Wellington Phoenix find themselves virtually at square one again after a turbulent start to their off-season.
With coach Mark Rudan departing the club for Western United, a number of key players have quickly followed him out the door.
From reigning Johnny Warren medalist Roy Krishna and star foreign keeper Filip Kurto to long-serving captain Andrew Durante, the Nix squad is currently hanging by a thread with just 10 players contracted to the side as it stands.
