2023/24 Season.

I think australia cup means he sees the season out

If they can regroup to mid table maybe. Next up is Adelaide away then WSW. Entirely possible they’ll be winless when they host Perth on 2/12

Sydney FC announce Ufuk Talay as new head coach

Sydney FC will take on Adelaide United this weekend with a new head coach in charge, though he is a familiar face to the Sky Blues.

Wow. Who say that coming.
Just incredible he kept the job that long.

So sack the bloke who plays sterile 4222 anti football and replace him with a clone.
Won't solve their problems

 

[finally retired]

Yippee.... good for us. Sydney to stay bottom all season

Don't love his brand of football perse, but from what I can tell he is a far superior coach to Corica. Low bar it's true... But imo he's one of the better coaches in the HAL and unfortunately I expect in time Sydney will become a force again with him at the helm. But will be very, very happy if proven wrong.

 

[BrisRecky]

Corica was ok till someone knocked off his “How to coach like Arnie manual”…I wonder if he tripped over Yourf**ked Talay( the disingenuous leg snapping f**k) as he was heading out the door ?, talk about a rapid turn around of gaffers ?

Remember that slow start - Look at the last 10 ALM games

Now we have 6 games left. The league is almost 80% complete.

Hopefully we become premiers - likely top 2 - which I think will be at most 46 points.

If we make top 2 - either position and Wellington is the other one we will qualify for the ACL Champions League Elite from mid September. If Wellington miss out we would need to be premiers.

The most wins (no of wins is the tiebreaker before GD)
MAC can get is 14
MVC can get is 13
SFC can get is 15
WSW can get is 14
MCI can get is 14

The next round could be crucial for the top 2. We play SFC, MAC play WSW, MVC play GLY, WEL play BNE and MCI play NUJ. Only ADL vs WUN has no bearing on the top 2 (and probably little bearing on the top 6 although ADL still a very remote possibility).

TEAM	GP	W	GD	PTS	Points to top 2	Points Available	Teams	to	play

Can also qualify for ACL Elite by winnng the AFC Cup. But agreed it’s a vital week and getting there’s direct to the group stage is much better we’ve seen how difficult qualifying is. I’m interested to see how much the run impacts Australia’s coefficient.

Awesome was waiting for this and was going to ask for it the other day.

Just a little error. You gave City playing City instead of us.

SFC probably has the best run in but form is hard for any side at the moment. Also if you can avoid being punished early by their press they seem to drop off.

City should get WSW 6 spot on current form.

We have a couple of tough games after the break including western united who have improved alot. If we can win 2 of the first 3 we should make the top 2.

Newcastle have a horrendous run home and should pick up another spoon.

I look forward to throwing red & blue spoons at them as we’re given the premier’s plate.

That is a play-off spot. The other way is direct.
