Roos, who coached Sydney to the 2005 flag earlier than handing over to Longmire on the finish of 2010, did not title any gamers to place up for commerce.
However throughout his tenure, he had related conversations with Sydney’s management group after a finals failure.
“I am unable to bear in mind what 12 months it was … we met with the management group after the finals collection and stated: ‘Guys, we will must make some adjustments. And for us to get again to the place we need to get to, we have to commerce, we have to put folks in the marketplace’,” Roos stated.
“And the management group have been improbable and so they knew it was going to be somebody inside that room and so they all agreed unanimously.
“And it turned out to be Jude [Bolton] that had probably the most curiosity however we could not get sufficient for him to warrant buying and selling him.
“That has to happen, that dialog now has to happen. They must put good gamers in the marketplace to alter the narrative.
“There is not any query the expertise when it comes to the administration, their construction and the soccer membership is there. However it’s two [grand final losses] in three years with largely the identical group.
“And there are some holes within the organisation when it comes to sport plan and now doubtlessly personnel.”
Roos stated there have been “completely issues” in regards to the Swans’ sport type.
“We’re speaking a couple of staff that completed on prime, we’re speaking a couple of staff that performed the grand remaining, so we’re not speaking a couple of dangerous soccer staff,” he stated.

“So that they’re developments. That’s the concern.
“They weren’t in a position to flip the sport round as a result of Brisbane simply stored on enjoying laborious, powerful, bodily, well-structured soccer and Sydney simply could not reply.
“There’s completely issues for the Swans. They’ve dramatically modified their sport plan this 12 months.
