The terraces25 Jun 2029

Anger at Western Sydney Wanderers spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad25 Jun 2029

A knee injury of the worst kind for Elliot Collier

80 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Western Sydney Wanderers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom25 Jun 2029

Pressure builds in the Western Sydney Wanderers boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Match25 Jun 2029

Every point is an argument now for Western Sydney Wanderers

Position 12 and 17 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market25 Jun 2029

Angus Thurgate hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Western Sydney Wanderers can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets25 Jun 2029

Western Sydney Wanderers make their move for Medin Memeti

$180.0K on the table at Adelaide United. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market25 Jun 2029

Newcastle Jets join the queue for Jarrod Carluccio

Add another name to the list: Newcastle Jets have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Jarrod Carluccio. The answer from Western Sydney Wanderers has not changed — yet.

Transfer targets25 Jun 2029

Salford City tell Western Sydney Wanderers: Rylan Brownlie is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad25 Jun 2029

Tempers go at Western Sydney Wanderers

Daniel Babb was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad7 May 2029

Elliot Collier damages knee ligaments — 130 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 130 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom7 May 2029

Western Sydney Wanderers spell it out for Dale Harper

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Dale Harper has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Squad7 May 2029

Germán Ferreyra signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Germán Ferreyra and Western Sydney Wanderers agree another 2 years.

Squad7 May 2029

A row about effort at Western Sydney Wanderers

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Germán Ferreyra was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market7 May 2029

Western Sydney Wanderers and Alou Kuol are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad7 May 2029

Sebastian Esposito in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Western Sydney Wanderers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout7 May 2029

Lawrence Thomas without the man who signed him

Every squad is half players the manager chose and half players he inherited. Lawrence Thomas was chosen, the man who chose him has gone, and he starts again from nothing under the next one.

The dugout7 May 2029

The manager makes an example of Nathan Wright

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market7 May 2029

The Alou Kuol question follows Western Sydney Wanderers around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Alou Kuol’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad23 Apr 2029

The knee: Elliot Collier out for 145 days

145 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Western Sydney Wanderers lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The dugout23 Apr 2029

Brandon Borrello: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Western Sydney Wanderers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Tempers go at Western Sydney Wanderers

Angus Thurgate was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market23 Apr 2029

Alex Gersbach placed on the list

Western Sydney Wanderers have made Alex Gersbach available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The dugout23 Apr 2029

Anthony Pantazopoulos knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Western Sydney Wanderers, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad23 Apr 2029

The training reports on Adrian Bell are not good

A bad Saturday is forgiven; a bad Tuesday is chosen. Standards have slipped and in a building where everybody watches everybody, it has been noticed.
