IF Football Federation Australia both loves and hates owning Western Sydney Wanderers, its dilemma will soon be at an end.

Even as the spotlight was predictably on the Wanderers' raucous support on Wednesday, moves were being made towards a sale of the club within weeks.

The consortium led by Primo Smallgoods businessman Paul Lederer is close to a deal, having overcome a debate with Frank Lowy about both the length of licence and the sale price (suffice to say Lowy has dropped his original figure of $15 million).

The consortium will include a Chinese businessman whose identity is closely guarded, and it's believed the founder of the Pirtek engineering company Peter Duncan. The recent sponsorship of Parramatta Stadium by the company, long-time partners of the Eels too, suddenly doesn't look a coincidence.

Crucially, the deal isn't going to be derailed by any nervousness about the behaviour of the club's amazing support, whose intensity has on occasion been a double-edged sword for the game's authorities - as in last weekend's awful scenes in Melbourne.

Even if the Wanderers fans were the sinned-against in being attacked at a Melbourne pub last weekend, letting off flares and firecrackers in AAMI Park later that day was a dumb move.

It was particularly stupid because the Red and Black Bloc has matured, and fast, in terms of the Wanderers' home games.

on Wednesday the supporters made their usual march through Parramatta, to earn a resounding pat on the back from the local police (and thankfully there wasn't a face mask in sight).

"We've been very happy with them for some time," said Superintendent Robert Critchlow, the commanding officer at Parramatta's control post.

"The organisers of the RBB have been very responsive to us, and engaged with us about how the marches can go ahead in safety and in an orderly manner.

"We respect their values and interests, and we want them to be able to show their passion in an expressive way."
