With the Western Sydney Wanderers on the brink of being sold, executive chairman Lyall Gorman is pleading for the new owners not to tear down the club's existing structure.

An announcement on the sale is expected any day as the finishing touches are applied and a private consortium headed by Primo Smallgoods chief Paul Lederer is set to take charge.

When the new owners come in, they have the opportunity to clear the decks and start afresh if they see fit, a direction Gorman hopes they avoid.

''If any of the potential buyers of the club had any discussions with me, I would say it would be very unwise to dismantle what we've put in place,'' Gorman said. ''We've got a very successful model in place at all levels. I don't think it needs much changing. It's what we've had from the start and the club foundations have remained solid from day one. I believe this structure works and works well.''
