All these stories about why the A League is suffering.
It’s suffering because WSW are poor.
It’s that simple.
There’s no way a team from football heartland should be losing to a team like that.
But they did.

How can the APL convince casual fans the A-League Men is worth supporting?

Rudan didn’t come over to us in the away bay though, that was kind of expected. At least Marcelo gave us a proper Captain’s speech, it was inspiring.

The club has 4 owners but you would have only ever seen 1 of them on the field berating a referee.
He’s from Point Piper, what he sees when he looks at WSW and what I see are 2 different things.
Many of us believe he only ever bought the club to take advantage of the talent pool, selling players to Europe – increasing the value of his investment.
Success, memberships, crowd averages etc are all irrelevant. It’s about the Academy and nothing more.

The region of Western Sydney deserves better, why it’s such a basket case is beyond me now.
The only thing I can count on now is other teams having good moments, gave CCM and Adelaide their first grand final wins, gave SFC more derby wins than they deserve, gave Antonis a killer memory, have been on the receiving end of ‘goal of the season’ more than once, gave Macarthur their first ever win, first A League club to lose to a State League team and gave NPL clubs some of their greatest memories in the FFA/Australia Cup.
The ACL win was incredible but a club representing football heartland should have the following by now;
3 Grand Final wins & plates
At least one Australia Cup win
30k members
15-20k average attendance

The fish rots from the head and it’s high time we looked at the head of WSW and admitted he’s been the problem all along.

Fulfilling the daily quota of WSW comments?

I support him 100%. I love that he’s speaking out and has the rest of the league against us.
Siege mentality is brilliant if it can last longer than this season as WSW won’t make the finals in 2024.
There’s absolutely no way Macarfur should have won.

When the Bulls were introduced I said they were nothing more than WSW 2.0 The G rated version.
Others said no no no they’re South-West Sydney it’s a different area and they deserve their own team!
Now I hear the broadcasters calling it a battle of the west, and in this very thread you’re calling it a ‘Western Sydney clash’.
Why is it a clash over an area when the Bulls supposedly represent a different area?
Which is it, pick one.

Plenty of your ‘legends’ though come from the West. I doubt many have come from Dover Heights.
Rudan, McFlynn, Carle, Brosque etc – all Westies.
It all evens out, neither scenario is acceptable.

Until these kids see no other club than WSW it won’t be effective.
It’s really annoying that Mariners continue to head down to Western Sydney to find their next ‘local’ talent, but even more annoying that kids sign for them.
Also annoying that SFC have some weird agreement with Bonnyrigg High School.
One day kids will grow up wanting to play in red&black and an offer from any other club will be offensive.
That’s when the next Harry Kewell will be found.

The kids are alright: Wanderers' big win over City represents a shift in A-League dynamics

If anyone ever cared about why WSW have failed to get back to those 2012 days, offering Lolley a contract is one good reason.
It’s embarrassing for the fans.

Somewhere near WSW but not WSW. As in the East side of the city.

‘we’. Everyone knows the underhanded behaviour from CCM in getting that kid to the club.

There are still signs of life in the A-League Men despite the 'bureaucratic nonsense' of the APL

As I was saying, the reason WSW fans aren’t turning up is because of performances like that.
It’s at the point now where you can see how the season will go based on the pre-season signings.
Until the club can sign a team that people say ‘wow’ then nothing will change.
