stadium improvements agreed on by the team within a t

His team swept them aside with authority, but even Sydney FC captain Alex Brosque considers it unwise to discount Western Sydney so early in the A-League season.Saturday nights 4-0 defeat left Tony Popovics Wanderers with much to work on after missed opportunities and defensive holes triggered a second-half collapse.Theyve done what they always do which is revamp the whole squad, so its a bit hard to gauge exactly how theyll fare, Brosque told AAP.Some might see it as strange that Popovic changes so often, but hes obviously shown that regardless of what 20 players he has he can get it done.Its hard to know what sort of team theyre going to be like, but before you know it theyre up the top of the table and the season is getting away.Former A-League coach John Kosmina described Popovics revamped grand finalists as lacking cohesion and fluency on Saturday night.But apart from the record scoreline, there was nothing unusual for the Wanderers about the Sydney derby loss - its now eight games since theyve won the fixture.And, more tellingly, it was not abnormal for them to leave round one winless - theyve triumphed only once in the opening three rounds across the four seasons before this, three of which ended with grand-final appearances.Despite being the leagues youngest franchise, Western Sydney undergo possibly the highest annual turnover in personnel.For that reason, Popovics squads historically spend the first few rounds addressing teething issues before players mould into a formidable force.And this campaign will no doubt be challenging in the absence of last seasons most reliable charges.Mark Bridges attacking vision. Andreus midfield composure. Scott Jamiesons unmatched workrate.But there is promise in new faces, like exuberant striker Kerem Bulut, who may just need a few weeks to start converting the chances he missed against the Sky Blues.The skill and agility of Japanese winger Jumpei Kusukami is also sure to provide fruits, while marquee playmaker Nicolas Martinez enjoyed a promising cameo.Popovic said his latest overhaul was part of the clubs evolution as he seeks to fortify their new attacking style with extra final-third creativity.Were trying to add a few new elements to our game, Popovic told AAP.Im always searching for something; I dont know if Ill ever find it.I feel we get to a point, and then Im searching for players who can help take it another step.We were very happy last year - we finished second, made the grand final and made the Asian Champions League.Had all those players stayed again it wouldnt have been a disaster, it would have been good.But we just felt we could improve our strength and we believe that come the turn of the year well have a strong squad that can get through the group stage of the Champions League and be challenging for the A-League title again.

PHOENIX -- Maricopa County officials took significant steps Wednesday to sell the downtown Phoenix ballpark that has been the only home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.The countys Stadium District Board of Directors unanimously voted to sign a letter of intent, opening the door for Integral Group, LLC, to negotiate to buy Chase Field for a minimum price of $60 million.We are here today to protect the taxpayer, board chairman Clint Hickman said during the public meeting. This is the best of what private business can offer.Officials said any sale will not affect current agreements to keep the Diamondbacks there through the end of the teams contracted tenancy in 2027. A buyer would not be involved in issues such as ticket prices and concessions.The letter of intent will allow the county to choose an appraiser and potential buyer to visit and inspect the property. The Diamondbacks will ultimately have to approve any final sale agreement. If a buyer later chooses not to purchase the property, the letter of intent will be void.The decision comes amid heightened tension between the county and team officials over who is obligated to finance roughly $187 million in repairs over the next 12 years.Team officials have suggested recently they might seek a way to leave the ballpark before the current contract with the county ends.A lawyer reprresenting Atlanta-based Integral Group has already told county officials that the potential investors want to keep the Diamondbacks at Chase Field and would complete stadium improvements agreed on by the team within a two-year window.dddddddddddd According to County Manager Joy Rich, the buyer wants the stadium to be a catalyst for future economic development.Chase Field opened in 1998 for the Diamondbacks inaugural season. It is owned entirely by the county despite a team investment in its construction.Diamondbacks officials submitted letters to county officials in June and July requesting funding for repairs for the fifth oldest ballpark in the National League.One letter sought reimbursement for about $650,000 in improvements the team made to suites, the dugout, concession areas, locker rooms and heating and cooling systems. County officials denied some items and said others might be approved with additional documentation.The other letter outlined about $64 million in proposed repairs over five years, from replacing scoreboards to renovating party lounges.County officials agreed to continue funding structural issues such as repairs to concrete and steel, but denied other expenses as superficial.
