Yeh I think that’s the point about Rudan- he did well at a well run club- with a core of good fans, a stadium, a part of a cities culture, good owners and a good academy. He could do his job because of that.
Western United will conduct second-round interviews with five candidates for their coaching position next week. Hope to have an announcement shortly afterwards.

Is it just me that finds it odd that they are signing players before signing a coach to coach them?
New gaffer may not be a fan of these potential players at all, but then I'm sure Cobra Commander has already landed the job, just going through the stand recruitment BS I guess, so maybe he's already given the thumbs up.

Someone said he’s going to Yokohama, visa pending?

I'm told four of the five head coach candidates for Western United include Alan Stajcic, John Aloisi, John Anastasiadis, and an overseas coach (speculation, not 100%, that its Robbie Keane).
Does he deserve another crack though? He's a legend and everyone likes him but apart from one decent year with Roar there have been some pretty dismal seasons in there.
Oh boy this is blowing up. From what I've read elsewhere (https://southmelbournefc.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-ironing-is-delicious-making-hay.html#comment-form), South Melbourne FC have a football exclusion clause which effectively allows them to reject any other football activity at the ground (apart from national team games) as long as they provide a good business case or whatever. Used it against Heart years ago. RR
Heard South’s have been overuled by the APL and Western will play there. Like the south supporters aren’t going to attend the games and cause some fun.
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.
But they may have found the shovel. Western United told FTBL that the move and tenancy partnership with Essendon is part of a two year deal with an option for a third. The club is in the process of building their own grounds with construction on their Wyndham City stadium starting this month.

Western Melbourne Group has reached a significant milestone in the construction of the Wyndham City Stadium precinct, with the commencement of the site’s early works.
Western gets a lot of grief but this is a cool thing to do for their fans
To thank members for their amazing support this season, the club is offering a free matchday ticket and $100 cash back on travel to Adelaide for our final match of the home and away season 💚🖤
fair enough, deserve patience and credit for getting them a championship early on in their history, just having a bad season this season though. I am sure they will bounce back RR
Coach John Aloisi has signed a two-year contract extension with @wufcofficial.
Western United Football Club has been given the green light to play Liberty A-League Women matches and also Isuzu UTE A-League Men matches at the Regional Football Facility (interim name).
Hopefully it's just a case of multiple payments with all their construction, etc, coming due at the same time, causing a cash crunch, rather than something more serious.
Apparently the delay in pay was because it took longer than expected for funds to clear and was less than 24 hours.
The CEO has recommitted to their long term vision and are hoping to play home games out of their training facility by the end of the season, they've purchased 2,500 temporary seats.
