I've taken a quick glance at the other teams in the league and reckon that only Uga would get a starting gig in any other squad. That's it.
Stametelop....etc, Yuel, Thurgate, Millar, Johnny K and maybe Jackson could get bench spots around the league. Keepers seem to always have a job, so both might even get starting gigs elsewhere.
But, I'm confident that only Ugarkovic would walk into another sides starting 11 if teams were given the chance to pick is apart.
New owners/management team would probably sign like 8 or 9 new players if possible.
With WSW letting Daniel Georgievski go could we maybe pick him up
In some ways I keep thinking "how unlucky can we be?" Another own goal. Far out.
But I guess we keep conceding them because we keep getting pushed further and further back.
I think if city had wanted to they could have ripped us apart all night.
These are guys that don't even seem to have enough self-interest to put on a good showing to win their next contract. Things must be really bad inside the club.

This is now 11 games without a win. While this isn't a squad that was ever going to challenge, I accept, but I question whether Deans has the ability to get this bunch motivated to play. 2 points from a possible 33 is pathetic. It's not all on the players. They aren't blameless but it's not all on them
Previous managers have been asked for less.
When will questions be asked? He's not immune to it.

We are playing exactly how his W League sides have played in the past. Couple this with a squad of blokes who are not A League standard and a few who once were and we are one messed up club.
Not too mention some Mattiske bloke who seems to have gone MIA in recent times, Bloke has managed to find himself a good hiding spot to avoid some tough and valid questions from concerned members.
Melbourne City signed him for the remainder of the season. I doubt we could have afforded his wages to bring him back anyway.

OK
Just another couple of KPI's that will heavily influence the powers that be to fold this clusterf^&k.
Like JP posted the 2 from 33 is a piss take of monumental proportions. We are getting very close to offering the league less than what a new club can from the ACT or Wollongong can contribute. Key favorable difference would be a new club brings money to the table a club like ours is a drain on the APL.
I fear with the lack of real quality added to the squad when there was an opportunity to do so and the appointment of Deans a cynic might think failure this season was by design.
Are we yet at the stage where most fans agree the club hired the wrong coach?
This has not been a very good season for the Newcastle Jets.
Western United got 990 people to show up to a crappy mid week game. As long as our numbers as more team theirs we are the better option than Canberra when stacked together head to head. We are a quality market that is known to show great support to a football team in the past and will do so again in the future.
My biggest worry is if someone comes up with the money for a license in another area before a new owner can be found for us. If they have the funds before we can find an owner, there's a totally different discussion to be had rather than who's the better area for a club.
Dean's may be the wrong option if we want to be successful, but keeping costs down low enough to convince these owners to foot the bill for another season is more important than winning football matches right now. So Dean's is currently the best decision we could make.
But with Deans in charge the football us turgid, Fans cant be bothered to watch and turn up to games, So any future owner will look at us and see little interest from the locals so may not want to risk his investment here. It's not all Deans fault I know but he's playing a large part
It's a gamble.
Dean's is the option that gives us the longest time with the current owners. But will slowly drive away casual fans. New coaches would bring in more people, but would speed up the time that the new owners are forced to sell us. Well, that's my theory anyway. The ownership group basically thinks that they can get away with terrible football for at least another year before fans stop showing up completely. And within that time they will either find new owners for the club, or new owners for the licence.
