A-League glamour club Sydney FC faces a fan revolt after its 3-0 loss to Adelaide United in the weekend's 18th round left it clinging precariously to playoffs contention.
Die-hard fans, who occupy an area called the Cove at Allianz Stadium, unfurled banners calling for the sacking of coach Frank Farina, chairman Scott Barlow and chief executive Tony Pignata as their team crashed to a club-record third straight loss in home games.
Media reports said a drink was thrown over Farina during the match and fans staged a mass walkout as Adelaide inflicted Sydney's fourth loss in five games.
Perth, Newcastle and Wellington, who all play on Sunday, can overtake Sydney, costing it a place among the top six that contest the playoffs.
