Duke officially on the way out. Says it all really

I think the cause of this mess is that our foundation coach Tony Popovic left and after that nobody knew what to do. Tony was a control freak and made all the decisions, probably getting His way with most things and challenged the owners and CEO. It worked and we won stuff as everyone was on the same page. when tony left then suddenly all these people At the club had to work out how to make decisions and work together but have failed miserably. This is similar to Alex Ferguson leaving Manchester United. A big fall from grace. unfortunately now wsw have a club owner who towers over everyone and makes the key decisions. nobody wants to challenge that. This is a similar situation to what Lowy did with ESFC a few years back until they finally ousted him. The smurfs have now got their sh1t together and are killing it. it’s simple we need WSW the club to have a culture where people are empowered and all sing off the same song sheet. If we have a CEO who is too wimpy to think independently then it’s time for a change. Bring back Lyle Gorman who wasn’t afraid to pursue what he felt was best despite opposition from the owners.

What is the PAX?

I love the return of the 90 minute podcasts!

As they say the fish rots from the head

Unfortunately I think time is up for Babbel. i’ve seen lots of calls for JT and Lederer to go too. Can I please understand why a bit more? Is there something we don’t know going on behind behind the scenes? What is the club culture like? reason I ask is that I remember When Lyle was CEO he had that ability to tell Lowy to go get farked in regard to when making big decisions. Is Lederer another Lowy (I.e. control freak)? And Does JT have full power to make decisions or is Lederer interfering too much?

How Da fuk did Turner get the MC gig?

Well I guess Armageddon is tomorrow. i’ll be At work. Hopefully I can come home at the end of the day to a house i don’t wanna go through the events of 6 years ago again

Kubi playing well for us

Lol from SMH: “Meanwhile, Babbel admitted he was unsure if key midfielder Pirmin Schwegler (calf) would figure on Saturday night after suffering an injury in last week's scoreless draw with Brisbane Roar. The Swiss veteran's chances hinged on Friday's training session, which was closed to the media.”

Just watched the boys train. schwegler looked good

I might drop in to check out their training on Friday

Random question. Does the squad fly to Melbourne on the day of the match or do they fly there the day before?

At the old parra stadium I used to sit in the southern end and occasionally i’d See mark rudan sitting there too with his kids. Brought a smile to my face. now look where he is lol
