The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 26 - the jostle for finals positions is on in earnest
Here is the way the Roar expert panel sees all the action unfolding across the final weekend of play prior to the semi-finals.
As John Kosmina became Sydney FC’s fourth coaching casualty in four years today the club’s long term search for a nickname became quite apparent.
Sydney Rotation FC. Never has a title been more apt for a football club.
Indeed in parting ways with Kosmina, Sydney has now let go as many coaches as Melbourne, The Central Coast, Queensland, Adelaide and Newcastle combined.
Still Kosmina can hold his head high knowing that he outlasted all his predecessors, presiding over a lengthy one and a half seasons with the club, something Pierre Littbarski, Terry Butcher and Branko Culina could only dream of achieving.
You see rotation is ingrained in Sydney FC.
After all Kosmina’s leaving is only a result of the third change in Sydney FC’s ownership, the newly hyped Russian millionaire and co, making their first moves within the club.
Chairman Kemeny earlier this month announced his intentions to leave just as chairmen Andy Harper and Edmund Capon before him.
And Finally CEO Stefan Kamasz’s who replaced CEO Edmund Capon, who replaced CEO Water Bugno all in the space of 4 seasons is likely to find his position in jeopardy under the new owners.
Unsurprisingly with every rotation Sydney FC’s results continue decline highlighted by the club failing to make the finals for the first time in its history this season.
Perhaps it’s time to change this policy of change.
