I love this guy. He keeps delivering.

Can you imagine having a boss that hides undercover in a carpark, in different locations each time, to see what time you get into work, and monitor your body language as you exit your car??

I thought he was just a bit of a dickhead, but after reading this I think he might be sociopathic.

The whole hiring a private investigator to stalk someone or pretending to be his wife on social media to attack fans are both behaviors which go beyond simply being a dickhead.

It felt a bit gross to search the site for a Rudan thread, but where better to mention the rumour that he's potentially off to Japan in the very near future...

I could definitely go for another mid-season form slump in Western Sydney, though you'd almost prefer he was the one delivering it.

Borello out for a long period and Marcello injury looked pretty bad on the weekend. Form slump incoming. Is that why Rudan is jumping ship. Or is it for family reasons again?

Probably need to look higher up, it's not only Rudan within that organisation that is rocking the boat.

He's probably not helping.  I feel like we heard a lot of issues at WU before he left too.

As much as I like to see Judan get a ban, it's hard to disagree with him about the horrendously inconsistent refereeing.

Studs into players legs is straight red every time, except when it isn't like a few that we took into the legs this season.

It's just all over the place.

I agree but there is a way to do it which doesn't involve throwing massive tantrums and abusing the officials. A lot of players, coaches and fans at all levels of football will have watched his disgraceful behaviour and decided that must be what you do when decisions aren't going your way. The result is that the jobs of match officials are going to get yet more stressful and unpleasant.

I read a stat that said that last year a third of match officials in Australia walked away from the game because of stress. No wonder. Rudan isn't a warrior for justice, he's just a massive, self serving tool.

A few journos probing for news about whether Rudan is gonna be sacked. As of this stage, he is still the WSW manager.

I feel bad for the WSW players. His presser last week sounded a little desperate to be honest, after the Sydney derby he put all of the blame on his players, saying it wasn’t an issue with tactics and kept talking about how his players made mistakes and need to do better.
Poor not going to the presser after the 7-0 loss.

If true, he's lost the dressing room with those actions. The guy is losing the plot in a big way...

Just get the feeling there's going to be an announcement out of the Wanderers camp any day now...

Just found this one too.

Marcelo not being happy should set off transfer alerts everywhere. Guys a Rolls Royce of a CB, even going on 37 years of age.

would be absolutely hilarious if there's some sort of good behaviour clause in his contract

I wonder his next move? Name change because of Mum and kids illness as contract termination reason are already used up.

I honestly wonder if he's trying to get sacked/disciplined out.
Not turning up to a presser probably not enough to get booted out altogether though.
Shame because after he bought the YF beers and after seeing some of the ref decisions against him, I was starting to re-think my position on him. 
But when you factor in his no show, the Lawrence Thomas situation, the burner account on X....it's the same old Marc Rudan.

An honourable person would just have the guts to resign at this stage and miss out on some $.
Let's be honest, he was a pro for many years, it's not like leaving a job in the public service where you stay there for life....coaches come and go, there will be another gig waiting for him somewhere.

But I reckon he just wants WSW to tell him he needs to go and negotiate a golden handshake.

That kind of thing can happen when you're delaing with a personality like Rudan. He's all over the place, when it's good it'd be fantastic, lose, play badly and he'll be at you like a ferocious dog!

This is the way that it'll go with Talay at Sydney as well. Mark my words. These guys are peas from a pod.

Just a few months after giving him a multi year extension, that wouldn't have been cheap.

Hmmm, could this be solved by shouting the RBB a round?

Sad news for his family and obs his mum, but very convienient given WSW would have been desperate to work out how they could exit him cheaply. First big win for the club this season.

Such a polarising figure.  Has a lot of good parts regarding his footballing expertise, and a lot of shonky parts as a coach (or dealing with people in general). Unfortunately, the shonky parts in the end prevent the good parts from working well.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Seems to self sabotage a lot. Really a book in depth about him would be an interesting read. He’s the first guy I’ve seen that made me understand the possibility of cult leaders- he got our football going, he had a power of personality that drove the club, a lot of people bought in and even after he began to lose support stick by him, but also seems to do weird things and require a bit of a bunker mentality which is not a sustainable long term strategy. But was capable of making plays like putting beers on the table for the Nix. 

Daddy making up? A genuine apology for stealing players and sneaking around on our dime (and for all our up in arms we needed Dura out to refresh, but how was tricky)? An attempt to cool the rivalry to take the wind out of the crowd at the game? 

Then there’s things like that club he joined overseas at some part of his playing career where the owner was bizarre. 

You feel though you’d never get the full or objective story about him. Especially about the things we talk about carefully. There’s something darker and obsessive at times and a difficultly in accepting responsibility. 

And his football hasn’t been quite enough to save him, in the way some people forgive or turn a blind eye to Brian Clough a lot because of who he was.
