Bosnar, whose exit coincided with close confidant Paul Lederer’s decision to step down as chairman, admits falling short of supporters’ expectations came on his watch.

But he believes that others in senior positions on Wanderland also need to take a look in the mirror.

Speaking for the first time since his departure, Bosnar, 44, told FTBL: “At a club like Western Sydney if you don’t win the title you’re always going to be questioned for what you did.

“So, in that regard I failed. The club have gone on a different direction and I wish them well.

“The incoming coach has a decent record and hopefully he can do what we didn't do, and bring trophies to the club.”

By his own admission a divisive figure among the club’s passionate supporter base, Bosnar’s role within the organisation was often clouded in ambiguity.

But he claims Stajcic, at least on the playing side, has inherited a team tracking in the right direction, despite just missing out on the A-League finals last season.

“The foundations are good at the WSW but now everyone within the club needs to be accountable for the results of the first team, from the cleaners, the gear man to the support staff and of course the CEO,” he cautioned.

“What the club needs going forward is for everyone to be under pressure. No exceptions.

“I have been told that many WSW supporters weren’t my biggest fans, and you have to accept that.

“But the fact is we recruited and sold players like never before in the history of the club.

“I’m also proud of the way (ex-coach Marko Rudan) improved the academy and promoted young players into the first team.”

Despite those assertions, there were several players who slipped through the net ended up with overseas moves via other A-League clubs, such as Nectar Triantis, Rhys Youlley and Anthony Pavlesic.

Also, despite promoting youth, seven other A-League squads boasted younger squads than WSW..

Insisting he was the master of his own fate following co-owner Lederer’s decision to relinquish the chairmanship, Bosnar added: “I was putting in 80-hour plus weeks. I didn’t sleep a lot and it put a strain on my family and kids. I also put my family business aside for the Wanderers, and that was hard to do.

“I did a lot of things at Wanderers that weren’t in my job description but I did it in the best interests of the club. It was never an easy place to work.

“But I thought we did ok job at WSW but, like I said, we didn’t win the league so we didn’t do anything.

“I’m still a member of the club. I love the club and hopefully they enjoy success. When you have a brother in law (Rudan) who gets sacked, and you still stay on, it shows how much the club means to you.

“I wish everyone the best and I hope from the bottom of my heart that the RBB (Red and Black Bloc supporters group) and the members get a grand final title in the near future. 

“You never know, I might be back one day and I would never change what I did in my time there.”
