alexli Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Seems like Tony Popovic gonna leave WSW  to be next head coach of Shanghai Shenhua per Chinese media. Shanghai Shenhua parts away with Gregorio Manzano, who bring Shenhua back to AFC champions league, yesterday to make room for Popovic.

Has anyone seen a projected cost? Completion is projected at 2019 - even if achieved that will mean at availability for the 2019-20 season at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The banner was stupid, crude, unnecessary and not even funny, but I have this nagging feeling that FFA may be creating a rod for its own back by the actions it is taking on this and other incidents. Much of the adverse publicity about the incidents stems from the publicity given the to the FFA's (and the club's) response to the incident rather than the incident itself. Yes I agree that FFA should make it's best effort to eliminate this sort of stuff, but one banner shown at one match in what is a minority sport isn't, IMO, the end of the world and doesn't need to be dealt with in the public arena. I can think of plenty of other aspects of modern society that could do with a clean-up before football.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IssySG Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Wanderers found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute  Thursday, 23 February 2017 - Staff writer  9 Football Federation Australia (FFA) has today found the Western Sydney Wanderers FC guilty of bringing the game into disrepute through the actions of its supporters following the display of an unauthorised and highly offensive banner at last Saturday nightâs Sydney Derby at ANZ Stadium. FFA has also confirmed that Western Sydney Wanderers fans identified as being responsible for concealing, assembling and displaying the banner, some of whom have had their memberships suspended by the Club, will be put through the FFA Banning Process. After considering the Clubâs response to the Show Cause Notice, Western Sydney Wanderers have been fined $20,000. FFA took into account the following measures undertaken by the Western Sydney Wanderers in its official response to the Show Cause Notice and public statements. FFA supports these measures and will work with the club to ensure they are enforced: The Western Sydney Wanderers suspended the membership of 14 individuals from the Red & Black Bloc (RBB) active supporter group for all matches. Western Sydney Wanderers will require the members they have suspended to undertake a recognised social inclusion program approved by the Club prior to any re-admission to Wanderers matches before their club-enforced bans can be lifted. Western Sydney Wanderers will monitor all media platforms for any further breach of the Spectator Code of Behaviour with a view to shutting down the Active Area if there is a further breach Western Sydney Wanderers will monitor the actions of the fans at matches for any further breach of the Spectator Code of Behaviour with a view to shutting down the Active Area if there is a further breach. âThe actions of the Western Sydney Wanderers spectators responsible for displaying the banner and the ensuing celebration of the banner on social media were completely unacceptable,â said Head of the Hyundai A-League Greg OâRourke. âWhile we have noted and were pleased with the positive proactive measures undertaken by the Western Sydney Wanderers the fine reflects the fact clubs are responsible for the actions of their spectators and managing the approval of the game day banners and activities of their Active Fan Groups.â FFA commends the Wanderers for acknowledgement that the club must carry responsibility for the actions of its fans. FFA is working with the venue and security authorities to review other incidents of anti social behaviour from both Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers supporters at the Sydney Derby and will apply the FFA Banning Process to identified individuals. âWe have more than 60,000 spectators attend Hyundai A-League venues each and every week in our season,â OâRourke said. âWe will continue to work with our clubs, venues, security and the police authorities to create a safe and secure environment that is not affected by the anti-social actions of a few."
