The Lowy family’s involvement with professional football appears to have all-but ended after selling off their last remaining stake in Sydney FC to the club’s chairman, Scott Barlow and his father in law, David Traktovenko.
Having once been the majority owner of Sydney FC in its infancy with a controlling stake of more than 70 per-cent, Frank Lowy has ended his 15-year relationship with the club after the Lowy Family Group sold its final 10 per-cent share of the club to Strada Investments, owned by Barlow and Traktovenko.
I remember waiting in the line at the gates of Allianz before the grand final in 2017, Traktovenko was in the line two people ahead of me patiently waiting by himself no special treatment, no entourage, he was just another punter with a battered club scarf around his neck. Warmed my heart it did.
Yeah when you compare us to some of the others around the league we are doing great - an owner willing to stick money in and back the Board to make the right decisions, while keeping his hands off the day to day operations.
What a dick, honestly. His team is shit not because Lowy owned shares in SFC. It’s shit because it’s shit. The coach has been shit. The players have been shit. And, for the most part, the fans have been shit.
