He is just squad depth at this stage, not really a huge loss.

“Sydney FC unfazed by possible stadium delays Updated 2 hours ago As the main tenants of the football stadium that was built in 1988 for Australia's Bicentenary, the Sky Blues should be worried about the expected delays in the completion of the job.

But talking to the club you sense that they feel everything is under control because Jubilee Stadium has been a blessing in disguise for the Sky Blues and if they are forced to keep playing in Kogarah longer than anticipated it would not be the end of the world ... far from it. Sydney were told that the new ground would be available in late 2021 but it now appears that the completion timeline is more likely to be early to middle 2022. That's almost an entire A-League competition gone which translates to a total of three full seasons of relocation. 

Sydney however are so comfortable with their arrangement with Jubilee Stadium that they would not be unhappy to play there for five seasons should further delays in the stadium's construction materialise. "Our arrangement with Jubilee Stadium is a year-to-year proposition and Kogarah would love to have us for as long as we could possibly stay," Sydney chef executive Danny Townsend said. "If the construction of the new stadium takes longer than expected we will continue to play at Kogarah because it is working for us.

"The team loves playing there, the coach is happy and we are enjoying the interaction with the community and we don't see that changing. "So there is no rush for us although to be honest we cannot wait to get into our new stadium." But what about the fans? Will they put up with essentially not having a home ground for three or more seasons? Western Sydney Wanderers were hit by a considerable drop in gates when they were forced to play their home games elsewhere for three seasons while the old Pirtek Stadium was pulled down and replaced by the magnificent $360 million Bankwest Stadium. Sydney FC however do not see a parallel with their crosstown rivals' predicament. 

"The fans love it. Our membership is up, our retention rate is the highest in the club's history and the churn rate (non-renewals) is lower than it has ever been at our club," Townsend said. "Normally you get 15 per cent of members who do not renew ... this year we had a nine per cent churn. So we are happy and there is absolutely no cause for alarm." 

The demolition of Allianz Stadium, which hosted many FIFA World Cup qualifiers and A-League grand finals, has been the topic of a massive controversy since it was announced just before the NSW election in March that it would be pulled down and rebuilt at a cost of $730 million. An injunction was sought to stop the demolition of the ground but the wrecking ball went to work early this year before its developers 

Lendlease exited the scene, leaving the government with a massive hole in the ground and no contract in place for a builder to fill it. When the stadium will be finished is anyone's guess but the government's record in such issues is favourable. Bankwest Stadium was finished on time and on budget and Sydney are entitled to expect that the new 'Allianz' will follow suit. This could well be a classic case of wishful thinking but in any case the Sky Blues are happy where they are and are not under any pressure to go back 'home'.”

Townsend says Sydney FC has had its most successful season in financial terms, as revenue nears the $20m mark, more than 17,000 members have signed up and all the club’s major sponsors have been retained despite COVID-19. These are not normal times though, he admits.

Victory probably the only other club that gets anywhere close to that amount of revenue?

Had to happen. Sydney have been an awful watch all round so far this season. 

Wonder if Uffie will get a call? Although in saying that I feel him and Corica are probably too tactically similar. Probably need more of a drastic change to arrest the slump in form.

Uffie was from the school of Corica having been one of his staff before coming to us.  he adopted the same style as Corica with us with the 4222 model.  So you may have a point.

Uffie is going to end up somewhere.  Wherever it ends up being, it will create a rivalry.  Wouldn't mind the old bling themes coming out again, if they ever went away.

I love Uffie but I agree that his style would be too similar to Corica's. I'm sure he can talk a big game in interviews but the reality is that technical adaptability was never his strength, so in my opinion Sydney would be pretty short sighted in giving him the reins IF they want a change in style.

I guess it comes down to whether you think Sydney's drop off is due to the formation or if the players have just switched off to Corica after so many years & need a new voice in the sheds.

The last couple seasons, Corica has tried to move away from Arnie Ball without any success. Moving back to what worked for the core of their team might help revitalize them. How the visa players Corica signed fit the 4-2-2-2 is another question tho.

Good luck to him.
As most people do, I have a lot of respect for what he did in his time at the Nix. It will however be an interesting test of his character and footballing acumen to see how he goes at a club that is expected to be fighting for silverware. 
 
Also keen to see if he sticks with his favoured 4-2-2-2 setup, or if he has indeed developed a bit more tactical flexibility. That was the one thing about him that drove me absolutely insane, especially towards the back end of his tenure with us.

Only time will tell. A Sydney Derby debut is baptism of fire for sure.
