That's ok D-man, your lot are set with Ange in charge.

No wait, he left the Roar, didn't he? Seems like we aren't the only ones who've heard "No" from a manager recently.

You want a bigger shirt sponsor than UNICEF?

I'm a bit disappointed about the way they are only auctioning off those shirts framed - I didn't get a new shirt this season and I would have been happy to pay a premium (especially given it was going to charity) to get one with the UNICEF/CMRI logos, but I don't really want to pay for a frame which I'm going to have to break open. I don't even know whether you could waer the shirt or whether it's been glued to the back of the frame or something.

I bid on Bosschaart's away shirt with the intention of wearing it (I also don't know if that's even an option). I've since been usurped, don't know if I care enough to bother bidding higher.

Yeah, but as the CEO.

Now Sydney have announced that they've re-signed Kalac as the goalkeeping coach, because our keepers have been so good under his tutelage.

Email from the club:

"Hi [legal-affairs],

Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your enquiry and apologies for the delayed response.

Please note that while the shirt is not glued to a backboard it is pinned in a number of areas and despite them being only small holes they may well increase with age/time. Also, as the shirts are player issue, depending on the who the player is, the shirt may well not actually fit you. [Well, derrrrrr!]

As such, we would not recommend that you buy the shirt and take it out of the frame, however should you win a jersey then it is obviously entirely up to you as to what you do with it.

Happy bidding and I hope you get the one that you are after......"

A quick check of the ATMOSS database reveals the following trade mark applications by FFA:

1489456 Western Sydney Wanderers FC ; West Sydney Wanderers FC ; Sydney West Wanderers FC

1489457 Western Sydney Wolves FC ; West Sydney Wolves FC ; Sydney West Wolves FC

But we're fools if we sit back and stare at the ground
While the weasels and analysts sing
If we want our place in history, we can't let the frustration
Drive us to fashionable drinking again

From twitter:
Craig Foster: "Really looking forward to speaking with Crook tonight about how he has changed as a coach, his methodology, under new system. Great message"
