I AM BACK! FM is up and running, everything is going smoothly. It is time to do this properly.
There has been a shock sent around Western Sydney and the rest of the Australian football world as Tony Popovic leaves the Western Sydney Wanderers after 250 games in charge and not being in control of the team for a single game. Tony had this to say -
" I really do not want to leave, but it is the right thing to do. I am just as shocked as you all are. I won't be answering any questions but I will explain to you everything I can. My shock resignation has come due to family reasons. My parents recently moved to Croatia and my mother has become extremely ill. I will have to go over to help her and my dad cope with it and help them through whatever they need. It is a tough time for both me and my family and I hate to be leaving the club in the lurch like this but I really do not have any option."
Popavic has put a squad together in 250 days and kept finances well in tact, so he has already left a promising club for the next manager to come in and make his job a little easier. Whether or not he will keep the squad is another story however. The high profile signing of Shinji Ono will surely persuade the next manager to come in. There have been a few names thrown around such as Mark Bosnich and Craig Forster to take over the reigns, but so far nothing has been said.
Condolences go out to the Popovic's and hope for nothing but the best for the rest of their lives. We will surely see Tony managing again soon.
