Sydney FC

Fowler has also recruited really poorly.

[Davo]

Yeah and you could argue if people were relying on hindsight, but people were criticising their squad before they kicked a ball.

Robbie Fowler basically says Sydney are cheating !! 

The 44-year-old admits he's been left baffled by the calibre of talent some of his rivals have been able to pull together in their squads.

"It's been a bit of a nightmare to be honest," Fowler said.

"When you look at some of the teams, I don't know how teams do it.

"For example you look at Sydney last week when we played them, there's players on mega, mega deals.

"I know there's a way around salary caps but I'm still learning."

Fowler's comments come a day after Melbourne City captain Scott Jamieson became the latest A-League identity to suggest it's time the cap was adjusted.

Jamieson labelled the cap a "shambles" and suggested it should be reserved to Australian players with clubs allowed to then spend whatever they like on their quota of imports.

"Teams are spending the floor of their salary cap and other teams are spending a lot more, and it's not really doing anything for the competition to make it fair," Jamieson said.

What a thick Kopite, it wasn’t sydney or the salary cap that made him blow his import slots on bog average league one and league two players 

What is his point? If the A League dropped the salary cap, how will tang help him his owners haven’t used the marquee spots available as it is

Bakeries probably told Fowler the FFA wouldn't approve marquees outside of Sydney and Melbourne.

What's with the dopey sounding guy on the megaphone all night? 

[mack]

Their capo?

In a gigantic major shock, Rhyan Grant has his ban reduced down to 2 games after FFA agree with his appeal.

Gets away with murder for years and now gets his ban reduced for “good behaviour”.

can sydney fc please stop winning everything? give us a season where we win everything instead

[Prydzopolis]

A phenomenal football team, just on another level when it comes to anything else they face. Fowler is right of course, recruitment spot on but helps when you keep a team together for a number of years, unlock squad loyalty exemptions, fulfill both marquee player spots, allow you to spend big to buy players  that nobody can compete.

They've always had a squad that was stacked in terms of its first XI & light in terms of the remainder of the squad. What’s impressive is how he is integrating youth team players into the team. Okay not perfectly, look at that youth team striker but much better than Arnie ever did. Lots of credit due to Corica.

That's tongue in cheek. 

My point is, on the basis that stringer is inferring we don't have a plan, WSW does in fact have a plan but so far it's not working as well as intended.

Yep..as a club both on and off the pitch they are so far ahead of us its embarrassing.

[Carns]

How are they better off the pitch though? They've got their squad and recruitment sorted. We've arguably got better facilities/infrastructure, youth programs, membership numbers, community links and sponsorship dollars.

Yes, we're a basketcase on the pitch, but things are decent off the pitch. If we were winning, everything would be relatively rosy.

Off field stuff is irrelevant if you can't win on the field.

I think it is more a deterrent. To lose Baccus now, with no other senior midfield to replace him would be ludicrous on a season that is going backwards, fast.

Throw in that it is very difficult to find a replacement in the January transfer window.

Anyone else find it funny he's in red and black hoops?

[Davo]

Yeah there have been a few smurfs on Reddit saying how it makes them uncomfortable.

[MathyouWSW]

He looks sexy in red and black hoops...He was the only Sydney FC player I respected and seem really down to earth.

The rest of the squad can go f*ck themselves now. (Especially Baumjohann and his stupid wife)

[GunnerWanderer]

I’m with you well the bit about doing naughty things to Baums wife 😜
