Besides, the good ones will have sorted out their new destinations weeks or months ago, and hopefully we have secured a few of those (again: Traore). The rest will be squaddies at best. Unless someone like Bozanic becomes available, the quality players to strengthen the squad will have to come from outside the league. It is priority that we finally get the five imports right - it would be a first in seven years! No wonder we have been struggling, how hard can it be? Holding on to Kamau and Gordon is priority as well. Get the coaching right, . Less talking/oxygen theft. I would be amazed if we hung on to Kamau after the season he had. sonar and Zelinsky 2

Me too but another season wouldn't do any harm. I think players tend too early. Half a good season and they are off, end up not-playing in BL2. Better off having a season of smashing the league then going e.g. Mooy with City

The reality is that he is an injury prone player, and the coaching team made him match fit this season by giving him a lot of TLC. Take him out of that environment, and he may be back to square one. He is worth a long term, well paid contract. He needs to know and understand that he is looked after at WSW. It's CR's job to communicate that, and we all know that he can talk.
theseeker Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Get the coaching right says one post. How do you do that ? Since Popa left a number of local and overseas coaches have been tried and all have failed. Are they all hopeless or are there other factors at play. I think we could employ Guardiola , Klopp . Ancelotti , Tuchel and so on they would all most likely fail as well in the present circumstances. In the end it all gets back to the character and talent or lack of it of the players recruited. Also a thing called club culture. How do you change the culture , change of ownership or management cleanout or both. Doubt if those two things will ever happen. But maybe CR will turn out a miracle worker this season and he will be regarded as a genius instead of copping abuse on here. Zelinsky 1

Hayden Foxe only had a handfull of games and I personally feel JP didn't get a fair go at his role as the head coach for the club. *IF* Robinson was sacked tomorrow, I personally would love to have the likes of Zwaanswijk or Haliti the opportunity to be the coach of the senior squad because they have experienced the A-League and would most likely know what is needed to be a successful club again. You could even look at Stajcic to be decent candidate as well for the job. LetsPele 1
theseeker Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 So Foxe and JP don't classify as locals - what were they extraterrestrials ? wendybr and GunnerWanderer 2
Carns Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Foxe was only an interim manager and although JP was technically given the full time job he was given the arse during pre season of his first season fully in charge. Neither were in the job anywhere near the length of the foreign managers. Not that I thought either of them were genuine manager material. LetsPele and MathyouWSW 2

Davo Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 I think this had been suggested earlier but here's the official confirmation.

I think the most important thing for him is just to get game time. With uncertainty as to when the next A-league season starts its probably the best move for him now. But expect him to leave after 12 months if he gets pre-covid form back Edited June 25, 2021 by Sithslayer1991

Grozos played 11 times for the club’s first team and will be remembered for captaining the Y-League squad to a championship in the 2017/18 season. Nicolai Muller and Patrick Ziegler both depart the club after two and three seasons respectively with the Red & Black.

Scott McDonald departs following the completion of his short-term agreement, having joined the Wanderers in April. Goalkeeper Noah James returns to Newcastle Jets following the completion of his loan period. The club is still in contact with a number of players coming off contract, including Wanderers Player of the Season Bruce Kamau, with talks continuing before any further announcements can be made. Western Sydney Wanderers Football Club would like to thank all departing players for their effort and professionalism during their time with the club.

And at least negotiations are continuing with Kamau
Pup55 Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Kamau is gone. Club obviously begged him to make it look like we're still trying to sign him to save face.
