Wanderers Season Launch At Riverside Theatre

There was one other board member named.

Three were on stage, Paul lederer was absent.

Can't remember who the other guy was though.

Was great to be in a room full of football folk.

Hmmm, not one business woman in a population of 2 million, worthy of a board appointment.

NGE!!!

Give it 12mnths and Redhead will be on the board!

Correct me if im wrong, but what the **** has "Dicko" got to do with football? He claims all this bullshit in our members brochure but despite all his t.v time ive never seen him involved with the game in the past? If theres one person who grew up in west sydney that should be using his stature to help promote the wanderers its Bozza

Haha. Gotta love Dicko. He gave energy to what would have otherwise been a pretty boring night.

Got a photo with Uncle Frank

Nothing against dicko, i know about his family history in england, but i think to a casual fan thinking about following the wanderers they could have used someone more marketable

Dicko is a pom, has some team he calls his own in the EPL (Birmingham or something) - thus he is linked to WSW....

LOL then tell that to his face on Saturday LOL

I might just do that Jowel...

I might just do that Jowel...

LOL then make sure you are at the Woolpack in the thick of it

I will be, you know what? Id even shout dicko to do a few shots with me, cause im a nice guy sometimes lol

haha. Oh, alcohol, bringing people closer together

If my memory serves me correctly, wasn't Dicko a Melbourne Victory fan, i remember seeing him in a victory top on foxsports.

Ive offered to shout a few beers to some forum members i speak to more regularly, so your more then welcome to ask me 2morow mate if u dont feel like paying for grog lol With the amount of fans expected to show up at the woolie 2morow i wonder if there will be any alcohol left come 6:30pm

He came and talked to us yesterday, said he had some mates that were part of the bwb, that he used to tagalong with but that WSW was his team Also said he may make some appearances in the North Terrace and some away trips!

i have heard of one of them

Lederer is the owner of Primo Smallgoods and was approached by Lowy at the start of this year to fund the new club (this was before the club was announced in April), however Lederer pulled out due to concern over the financial model the FFA was proposing.

Glad to see the event wasn't gatecrashed in any possible way at all....

Amazing what exclusive events Speccy can get himself into if wearing a suit and tie

He was even prepared to be Abba's biatch, just to get inside the VIP launch function.

Yes he is a Birmingham fan....and when he mentioned that over at the park, I couldn't resist calling out being a Villan myself....But I had a chat with him afterwards and I have to say he genuinely sounded like he is throwing his support being the club, and that this is his team now. Happy to have him aboard!

Dicko's ok, he'll have a chance to prove his committment and worth over the course of the season.

Bozza is employed by Fox Sports and when hes not working, he's at Star Casino.

The NRMA Insurance Western Sydney Wanderers FC also announced a five-member independent Board of Directors to guide the club in its inaugural season in the Hyundai A-League. Executive Chairman Lyall Gorman will be joined by four prominent people drawn with a diverse range of business skills. The four new directors are;

Benjamin Chow – a leader of the Australian Chinese community with extensive business, community and political links

Warren Mundine – a high-profile advocate of Indigenous employment with a long career in corporate, community and political affairs

Paul Lederer – a prominent businessman with major manufacturing interests in western Sydney

Elliott Rusanow – a senior corporate finance executive

Mr Gorman said the establishment of the independent Board was another significant step for the Wanderers.

“When FFA made the decision to retain ownership of the Wanderers during the start up phase, the establishment of an independent Board became a top priority,†said Gorman.

“We have carefully assembled a group of Directors with vast experience in business, finance, community and political affairs. I’m humbled to have such high-calibre people make themselves available to serve in these honorary positions for the good of football, western Sydney and the Wanderers.â€

The constitution of the Western Sydney Wanderers FC also allows for two member-elected directors to join the Board.

Dicko has supported Victory, Sydney FC and now Wanderers in a near past lol.
