Is there any source of the problems pointing to Barlow (since owners in my opinion should just write the cheques, unless they're Gareth Morgan in which case they should be deciding the playing formation).

McFlynn?
(Traktovenko/Barlow are the 3rd or 4th owners as well)

It is hard to know what happens behind the scenes, so its hard for an outsider to pinpoint whats wrong.
Poor form of him to declare his interest in the job before the current coach is even sacked.
He has denied that on Fox sports today and said that most of what he said was taken out of context.
Judging by twitter tonight, Tony P didn't help himself on SST. People saying that he said you can't play attractive football in a salary capped league. I'm gonna have to have a listen when they put the show online later in the week to see if that is true.
So in a nut shell, the board live with their heads in the sand and the fans are about to riot. Brilliant.
Pretty much. As the owner's son in law (Barlow) is unlikely to be chopped, Tony P could be the sacrificial lamb if a suit has to go.
I think if Tony is smart, he would get out now before he gets pushed. Its certainly heading that way
That article didn't paint a flattering picture of Tony P.
Why does 'Tony' is our scapegoat after reading a "Disillusioned" Fans view of the fan forum.?
Sydney FC could survive if they locked their own fans out till season end.

Truly and unsophisticated bunch if ever there was one.
That's not a strategy. And if it is, it's a shit one. It's more of a vision. Strategy is how to achieve the vision. No wonder they are a clusterfuck if they can't get the basics right.
Aren't they more adjectives describing the strategy rather than the strategy itself?

Yeh they could at least specify elements of it, e.g. we will support our team by watching with our backs turned
Cove not very happy with the response to their questions they asked the board
I bet Tony P misses us right about now.
Cove's response to the fan forum http://sfcu.com.au/sfcu/20-cove-news/259-the-cove-s-response-to-12-2-14-meeting
Just as meaningless.
Aren't they 4th in the league?
They might be 4th but that team has a lot of flaws in it. I personally don't think they are a playoff calibre team.

Bet if you were asked that question, you'd respond with "Brisbane"
Looks like you are not always correct, because I know they have flaws.

Sydney have a ton of players off contract. Only 10/23 roster spots filled for next season. Since Carle has been frozen out, it could even be less as they may try to offload him.
I would definitely take Carle. Excellent player, as long as he does what he's told.

Where would he fit in our midfield out of interest?

Somewhere where he can keep Carlos eager to be less a petulant child and put more effort in?
Like, breathing down his neck for a starting spot?
Think he would only really be an option as a replacement for Carlos if he decides to take off in a huff. The whole reason he's in trouble at SFC is because he's been forced to play second fiddle behind ADP, filling in at DM etc, so I don't think he'd be keen to come here and play second fiddle to Carlos.
I can see CCM or the Jets being interested in Carle. Ernie has been given the task to lower the teams age, so getting in another 30+ year old attacking mid goes against that. Plus we have Rufer Jnr to groom for that role.
That is a big pile of steaming stuff coming off contract there.
Sydney linked with Han Berger as director of football and Giovanni Trapattoni as a replacement for Farina if they don't make the top 4.

Tony P has rubbished the Trapattoni link.
"True gentleman of the game"
The guy was a fuck head. Good riddance.
