Now Farina the inside runner.. lol

Pretty much all the press reports are coming out saying Farina. He seemed to get PNG's defence working well at the OFC nations cup, maybe he will be able to fix Sydney's. Scoring goals isn't their problems, so if he could stop them leaking like a sieve they might start picking up points.
[edit: up on the FFA's website now - http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/Sydney-FC-appoints-Frank-Farina/54127 ]
oh awesome. Is Frank going to whinge and moan about coming here in a fortnight?
Shouldn't this be on the news page?
Interesting choice, I wished they picked Miron cos he's such good value for a quote.
Hope Frank steadies the ship (but they still end up below us!)

Just another typical Monday morning for Sydney FC, Gary Cole gets ousted in a re-structure and Petratos gets released. Along with Farina changing training to 9am starts and double sessions, as well as cancelling Thursday's day off.
They're starting to assemble a decent squad. But how the hell are they (pretending) to get them all under the cap?

"Though it's believed Newcastle have agreed to release the Brazilian defender immediately, Sydney must get special dispensation from A-League chiefs to sign him as an injury replacement as he will be another visa player."
Here we go again...

I think Dale's point is that they are getting an exemption to the visa player rule but if he's a straight swap for Boschaart then surely he just uses Boschaart's import spot like Clarke was for Sanchez with us.
It's probably a little late for Dale in California. He looked wrecked (and cold) 3 hours ago.

Yeah. After the disaster in Newcastle it was thought he wouldn't play again. He was training with Sydney to test the knee out and they offered him a low deal just to give him a chance to test things out and he had no other offers.
That is my understanding anyway.

Reading the Sydney forums, they understandably are not happy. They are hoping this clause helps them out.

Why do the ALeague even bother having rules if they just bend them all the time?
Which I take to read as:
1) Default position is a NYL player should be the replacement player
2) Club can apply for a replacement player to be someone else based on a criteria.
3) A non-NYL replacement player can't have played for another A-league club if that contract was terminated after 1 Dec.
