King’s ransom: New Socceroo sold to Danish club as overhaul begins at Sydney FC | VinceRugari
Newly minted Socceroo Joel King has been sold to Danish club Odense BK just days after starring on his international debut - a move that is likely to herald an era of seismic change for Sydney FC.put him firmly in the shop window, but sources say the Danish Superliga side had already been tracking his A-League Men performances, moving quickly to trigger the six-figure release clause in his contract and sign him on a permanent deal.
On- and off-field stability has been the bedrock of the club’s recent success, which has netted seven trophies in the past six years - with three of those won by Corica, a favourite son and former captain who now finds himself overseeing a major rebuild.he was in talks about extending his stay as coach, a host of other key figures are either considering retirement or coming off contract and could follow King out the door.
“There’s a lot out of contract. I think there will be quite a bit of change for next season. At some stage, everyone moves on. But that’ll depend on the rest of this season as well, what happens and how well we go, and the players who want to stay. We’ve got eight or nine signed at the moment, there’s another four or five we’ll be signing hopefully soon, and then we can get the rest done after that.
“It has been fantastic to watch his development along this pathway, which a lot of young players should aspire to, and now he makes the move to Europe,” Corica said.Chief executive Danny Townsend, meanwhile, has already signalled his intention to step away from the club and focus fully on his role as managing director of the A-Leagues.
But there was nothing here to suggest Robinson used that downtime to come up with answers as to why his star-studded squad can’t play coherent football, and chairman Paul Lederer must be close to pulling the trigger. The same old problems were evident as the Wanderers again struggled to craft attacking opportunities, while they were routinely cut open in the other direction by Brisbane - the team with the A-League’s worst goalscoring record - who could have easily scored at least five goals.
Former Socceroo Luke Wilkshire described the Wanderers as “11 red and white mannequins” at half-time on Paramount+, while colleague Bruce Djite said while it appeared the Roar really wanted to win, the Wanderers were playing like a team that “isn’t really fussed”.Little changed in the second half, despite whatever Robinson might have told his players at the interval, which is another poor reflection on the Welshman’s problem-solving ability.
