BoyFromTheWest Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Probably Hayden Foxe connection from Perth (Kilkenny)
MathyouWSW Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Ex Victory player Brandon Lauton is rumoured to be joining Western United.
MathyouWSW Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 Western United are expected to sign 31 year old Slovenian midfielder Rene Krhin
MathyouWSW Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 Also been rumoured they are looking to sign 31 year old Swiss born/Serbian striker Alexsandar Prijovic. He recently played for Saudi club Al-Ittihad and scored 7 goals in 28 games. Rhys Williams would of played against him as well. I think he could be a good buy for them if the rumour is true.
Davo Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 It's about 500m west of AAMI Park, so I guess they still are the "western" team in Melbourne...
StringerBellend Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Not content with taking the A League license, and then starting to take players to for a W League team, they are taking the ground.. It's like some weird serial killer wanting dance around in the skin of his victims? Or a supermarket, doing the thing where they serve meat in paper bags so it reminds you of the butcher that they drove out of business
Davo Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 South Melbourne FC rejects the plans of Western United FC to use Lakeside Stadium Quote South Melbourne FC notes the announcement by Western United FC of its intention to use Lakeside Stadium for a select number of games in the 2021/22 A-League Season. Lakeside Stadium and Albert Park is the home of South Melbourne FC and has been for over sixty years. Our licencing arrangements with Lakeside Stadium and the State Government ensures it will remain this way for decades to come. South Melbourne FC has a stadium, we have a home and we are proud to call it our own. Executives at Lakeside Stadium and Melbourne Sports Centres have advised South Melbourne FC that contrary to the announcement made by Western United FC, there is no written or signed agreement in place with Western United FC or the Australian Professional Leagues to allow Western United FC access to Lakeside Stadium for the 2021/22 A-League Season. South Melbourne considers Western United to be a direct competitor in the Melbourne, Victorian and Australian football market. Their acceptance to the A-League was based largely on the commitment to having a purpose-built football stadium constructed in Melbourne’s west. It is approaching three years since the A-League expansion clubs were announced and construction works have still not commenced. Western United’s use of Lakeside Stadium is not acceptable and South Melbourne FC will vigorously oppose any such plans. South Melbourne can confirm that it will be exercising all rights to prevent Western United FC from playing A-League matches at Lakeside Stadium. The club will provide its members, players, parents and supporters with further updates as information is available . I'd seen a few posts suggesting that one of the terms of the lease SMFC have for the stadium is that they have power of veto over others using the stadium for football purposes. Grab the popcorn as we approach peak A-League. GunnerWanderer 1
mack Posted September 23, 2021 Author Posted September 23, 2021 So the Knights told WU get get stuffed unless they pay for a bunch of upgrades, then SMFC have revealed that they have a veto on football and will use it on all A-League games there. Lmao. What a disaster.
marron Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 ******* great No matter which way it works out - South Melbourne types can be insufferable too, Western United should never been in the league ,win win. Paul01, DinoPresinger, alexd and 1 other 4
Paul01 Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 And low and behold, AAMI has too be used. sonar 1
Hughesy Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 If you didn’t know any better, you’d be forgiven for thinking that WU were a parting up yours from Gallop and Fox Sports who knew they were both on their way out alexd, Sithslayer1991, DinoPresinger and 1 other 4
mack Posted October 5, 2021 Author Posted October 5, 2021 WU are why making gigantic decisions right before the people making that decision are going to be replaced isn't a good idea. FFA's only interest at that point was getting as much cash as possible before the APL & FFA board changes ripped away almost all of their A-League revenue. So take the biggest license that made Foxtel pay the higher cost for a new Melb/Syd team and it became someone else's problem not long after. Doubly so when Foxtel killed the rights deal because of Covid. DinoPresinger, Hughesy, Edinburgh and 2 others 5
MathyouWSW Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Looks like James Doyle from NPL club Eastern Lions is joining Western United.
Davo Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Western United ALM coach John Aloisi opens up on the heart scare that threatened his life
pseudonym Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 "Woke up this morning. Got yourself a pun".
OntheFence Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 WU on top with a game in hand. Aloisi has never been a brilliant coach but that team he has defends well.Lots of clean sheets. The Big serb scored again and Lustica got one but not a scorpion in sight.
mack Posted April 9, 2022 Author Posted April 9, 2022 Their CEO says they're going to play games at the mini-stadium that's being built. Isn't likely to be ready next season though. The proper stadium is 3 years away still lol. Never happening.
BoyFromTheWest Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Why are they playing games at 2:00? They look so slow and unsure upfront - almost like WSW.

mack Posted April 9, 2022 Author Posted April 9, 2022 4-1 now. Sotirio has a double. He now has more goals this season than anyone playing for the Wanderers. BoyFromTheWest 1

MathyouWSW Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Maybe Popovic was playing him out of position all those years ago when he was at the Wanderers?
MartinTyler Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Sotirio's recent 'success' probably contributes to why many thumb their noses at the A League.... BoyFromTheWest 1
mack Posted April 10, 2022 Author Posted April 10, 2022 Popa wants a hold up man playing up front. Sotirio is a long bomb over the top player as a forward. Put Sotirio out wide and his effectiveness, or at least his ability to get into scoring positions drops.

BoyFromTheWest Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 He was referring to the ground where WU played at the weekend. Not Commbank
