good point...... I kind of feel that way too......its just difficult to ignore the pleasure of finishing on top of scums
Stubbins' style is exactly like a politician; he says the things that people want to here to disguise what's really going on and uses smokescreens and mirrors to try and alleviate the blame from himself. The man is a liar, lacks man-management skills and is a clueless tactician.....!!!

Just had a call from Phil. Tells me we have scored more goals than our opponents over the last 2 weeks except for penalties. Oh, and goals in general play.

Actually if you take out set plays we actually would have lost the game. We should be thankful for getting a point. #Moving forward
After careful analysis* I have concluded that when you remove all right footed goals and adjust results accordingly, the jets are in the top 6, that's big Phil's KPI's sorted time for a contract extension.
*analysis only as reliable as Phil Stubbins tactics.

Deans at 75% win ratio :yap:
FOR 10 years Jets fans have booed him more passionately than any rival player.
Now Central Coast skipper John Hutchinson has guaranteed himself one more hostile reception by making disparaging remarks about the Jets before the 31st and last F3 derby of his career.
The 35-year-old midfielder has announced his retirement at the end of this season, which means Saturday's showdown at Hunter Stadium will be his farewell appearance against his arch enemies.
He warmed up for the occasion by offering some typical cocky opinions about the Jets, which some fans will regard as inflammatory, while others might begrudgingly agree are hard to deny.
"At the start of the year I remember saying we were the better club, and I know they weren't very happy with that up there," Hutchinson said in an interview with Mariners media staff.
"But I think it just proves what kind of club we are.
"We're a stable club. We've only had [three] head coaches. We've hardly changed personnel around the place and every year we've achieved great things.
"We're one of the smallest clubs and smallest communities and I think we've proven that we can punch above our weight . . . if you look at Newcastle, they're meant to have the big community and the big-club mentality, but I don't remember the last time they made the finals.
"I'm sure the fans up there and the members would be very disappointed with what the club produces year in, year out."
See your ad here
Hutchinson, the only survivor of the first F3 derby in 2005, said it was "sad" to observe Newcastle's decline in recent years to the point where this season they have won only one of 18 games.
"I feel sorry for their fans and their members with what's going on up there. I don't even remember who their captain is at the moment.
"They just turn players over. I know Joel Griffiths - he's a friend, but we're enemies on the field - he's a competitor, but he's not there any more.
"I thought generally players like that, he's what they need.
"He's a competitor, a winner. I was sad to see him go."
One of five players shown the door by Jets owner Nathan Tinkler four weeks ago, Griffiths is expected to sign with Wellington this week.
"He gave his heart and soul to Newcastle Jets and it was sad to see the way he got treated, getting pushed out of the club," Hutchinson said.
"I'm sure all the other boys feel the same. They're trying to move on and I know they're trying to make the finals, but I'm sure their fans and members will be disappointed with another poor season."
In reference to another unwanted Newcastle veteran, David Carney, Hutchinson said whenever issues arose at the Mariners the players preferred to "keep it in-house".
"I don't think there's ever been a player here that's been pushed to the side and not played when he's been up for selection," he said.
"Especially someone of David Carney's calibre."
Jets coach Phil Stubbins has endured a tumultuous first season but Hutchinson said he had been impressed with the Englishman.
"He might be under instruction from the owner, but he's a good coach, from all reports," he said. "The boys really like him up there and I think he's doing a great job.
"It's hard when you're chopping and changing players. He's trying to come in and rebuild and make Newcastle a team that make the finals, but he's got a big job ahead of himself."
Hutchinson said it was "surreal" to think that his career had almost reached full-time after 19 years as a professional.
As for the reception he will receive on Saturday, he was clearly looking forward to it.
"I'll be greeted like I'm always greeted," he said.
"But for me, they do that because what we've achieved in the past . . . this season's obviously been a rebuilding phase for us. I know Newcastle's had a rebuilding phase for the last four years."
While Stubbins objected to Hutchinson showing "disrespect" before the 1-1 draw in Newcastle three months ago, he accepted his latest broadside with a wry smile.
"John has been at it now for quite some time and he's always been someone that has stood up for his own club," Stubbins said.
Allows Hutcho to get away with bad mouthing our club (With a pile of truth bombs none the less) but then gives him a compliment for doing so.
What a tosser.

Phil Stubbins on his post-session chat with Ecuadorian attacker Edson Montaño in the Hunter Stadium grandstand: “I took him up in the grandstand and said to him that ‘everyone that comes tomorrow I want them to leave with Edson Montaño on their lips’. He needs to come to the game tomorrow prepared to do everything he can to win a game for the club. He’s a big guy and he’s certainly got potential, and he’s put himself in positions to win games for the club but as yet we’ve not really witnessed that. I think he’s got his heart in the right place for the club. But in answer to the question of why I took him up there, I wanted him to feel it from a spectators’ point of view that when you’re out there there will be people looking at you, and I want them to speaking about Edson Montaño’s performance tomorrow.”

Once you read or hear what Stubbins has to say it's no surprise the team has only one win this season. He is without doubt the most negative individual to ever coach an A-League team. And as you would expect that negativity has trickled it's way down to the players, coaching staff, and ultimately now the fans.
We keep talking about tactics and selections but why bother when Stubbins is continually focusing on losing or drawing rather than winning. The players to their credit are still showing up trying to give their best. How I don't know because I would have walked out ten weeks ago if I was subjected to a boss like Stubbins.
At best Stubbins is in damage control but the reality is he's slowly but surely killing the club.

Heard that Jaliens say that he is a player who has always played with passion, this coach kills that passion and doesn't inspire you to want to play for him....makes sense!
Grimario
01-03-2015, 03:16 PM
So, let's think about this for a bit...
Chapman, Jaliens all gone on Stubbins say. Chapman consistently one of the best for City since he came into the side, Jaliens best on ground on debut and solid as a rock playing both right back and centre back when they beat Adelaide. That was our starting pair last season...
Goodwin punted under the Stubbins regime. Regular for Adelaide, playing some pretty fantastic football and involved in a lot of attacking build up on the left.
Dead set, if Griff scores a hat trick today, I am done.
And if the whisper of Madaschi to Victory to replace Leijer are even remotely true, that's all of our shit players that Stubbins punted off to finals football.

Spot on Member, what really grates on me and by nature I'm not a hateful or spiteful person but the way Stubbins is all smiles in interviews and sometimes even laughing, trying to play the charisma "card" and win over the media.......WHAT THE FARK IS THERE TO LAUGH AND SMILE ABOUT!!!......really makes me boil inside. Players like Griffo and Rubes who literally spilt blood for this club were just pushed out as if they were nothing and their years of service to the club meant nothing, and then he goes on about "rebuilding" the club and the culture. We here the bullshit line....."in twelve months time this club will be a force.....". Phil your tenure at the club started about 9 months ago....you get judged (or should get judged) from when you took over and no matter how many smokescreens and mirrors you try to put up and try to blame the "troublemakers" or your staff or your "inherited" squad (which we all know is bullshit). The fact is you have won ONE GAME FROM TWENTY!!!! You would be gone by now in probably 95% of football clubs around the world but you have only been saved because the owner is a loose cannon who no one knows what his true agenda is and who is keeping the club afloat solely because of the generosity of Gerry Harvey. As they say "Kharma is a bitch" and one day it will catch up with you Mr 1 in 20!!!

At the end of the day it's simple
1. Stubbins is signed on 5th May 2014 (Because apparently he was a better choice that Arnie [Who by the way sings NTUA])
2. He signs madashi, flores, newman, welsh, Gallagher, montano, steele, re-sign carney, gets roundabout back
3. Goodwin prob smarter that what all we assumed and smells how bad it's going to get...He goes
4. Steele here for 3 months and see u later ( ^ same as Goodwin)
5. Flores goes in the bad books.
6. No one really like 1 in 20
7. Carney warns everyone that things are going to get worse bfore it gets better (How right was he!!)
8. Mutiny against Muppet
9. Birraz rather be on the bench in Serie B than here
10. 5 players / 3 staff members sacked and Bridgy leaves (Another one who smells shit)
11. Now 1 win in 20 games (But don't have to remind everyone)
12. This time next year we will see a different Newcastle Jets....Yeah right
So let's recap
1. He had to build a squad on salary cap restriction (Imposed by Tinks), no much different than Arnie (Except he could get Marquees/ Which is a big difference I agree)
2. So no one really likes him
3. The common denominator at the end of the day is Muppet, but he is going nowhere because now the culture at the club is great (Still 1 win in 20 / And Griff nicely pointed out how can Tinks talk about culture when he lives in Singapore)
4. So Next year we will be ok.....Yeah Right
5. 1 in 20 Laughing at the (Protesting) fans / Has no guts to talk to the (Protesting) fans because he thinks we are all fools and know nothing about football.....
6. What a joke...... And I cant help myself to get personal here: Even his wife must not like him cause she still lives in Adelaide!!!! :slap:

Which I guess we ask the question why we are in the remaining 5%? The club has a number of debts as it is and by sacking Stubbins we will add to this debt, providing we can successfully negotiate a termination. If we can't, he will get "stood aside" or put into another role within the club like technical director or something, still her causing havoc.
I guess the club needs to decide, is the income it has best used paying off debts or terminating the coach in an effort to increase future revenue?

Not sure debt is the issue regarding sacking him . What is he on 150k max , so 200k max to pay him out...,what's an extra 200k to Tinks???.... Would be like me being in debt for 450k instead of 400k.... More to gain by sacking him and investing in the club to make it successful (then sale for better money) than stick with that Muppet....

Possibly, but we can't service our debts so any severance would get added to the bottom line
stabbins media talk is just fantasy. he has less then no idea
Now I am only speculating out my arse here.
Possibility in play.
Now assuming our last CEO was competent. You would think when Stubbins was signed there would be a pile of clauses in his contract. Some good for Stubbins some good for the club. Now obviously if things went well and we won the comp Stubbins would be entitled to a cash bonus etc. Is it possible that being Stubbins is a rookie coach you would put some form of minimum performance KPI in??
Ie You come worse then say 8th the club can part ways on the remainder of the contract for not achieving enough success??
I know I am clutching at straws on a few fronts my desire to get rid of him and also my faith in Middleby :lol: but there is the possibility the reason the club are not sacking him are because if they sack him now they have to pay him out obviously. If they hold on and the season is done and dusted they may be able to offload him for nothing.
Hopefully it pans out this way

I know we don't like the bloke coaching at our club, but personal insults are a bit on the nose. His reputation professionally provides more than enough fodder.

Makes a lot of sense what you say Member, probably with some of the clubs in the HAL this is normal practice to tie in KPI's with the contract of a coach. You just never know but I would actually be surprised if Middleby had the nous to put this in Mr 1 in 20's contract.

Pascoe in yesterday's Herald saying that he wants more goals and for players to start stepping up as their "careers are on the line"!!!
On scoring more goals....who is going to score them???
Which of the players left after the cull is a proven regular goalscorer???
Lets have a look at the cold hard statistics......
Our #9 Montano has a record over his career to date of 11 goals in 58 games (nearly 1 in 6 games).
Hoole who has played mostly as an attacking wide mid in over 40 games for the club is yet to score a goal.
Attacking mid #10 Mitch Cooper has scored 1 goal (at Gold Coast) in 20 games.
Our most experienced player, new signing Alivodic as an attacking mid had played 340 games in Serbia for a return of 43 goals (just under 1 in 8).
Meanwhile our so-called "troublemaker" Joel Griffiths in a career now spanning over 401 games playing as both a wide mid/winger or striker has managed 128 goals (better than 1 in 3).
Jeronimo who left after having enough of the rubbish going on, also has a decent scoring ratio having played 147 career games with a total of 42 goals (averaging 1 in 3.5 games).
We had the players here to score the goals Pascoe (Griffiths and Jeronimo), the club got rid of them now you are expecting to "squeeze blood from a stone" by expecting players like Montano, Hoole, Alivodic etc. to all of a sudden to turn into goal-machines!!!

In some media circles (won't mention names!) there is some bullshit myth being perpetuated that our squad lacked quality at the beginning of the season and were always going to struggle. I beg to differ and as an example here is exhibit #1....that Flores goal that I mentioned above. The highest of quality in both the delivery from Carney and the execution from Flores.

There was also a game where Griff scored (maybe vs Nix?) where he started the game out on the right wing then after some subs, moved into the middle and scored a goal before giving the bench the big ones in what clearly looked like a "see what I can do when you play me in the position I am good at, you ****s?"
Also entirely possible that was last year. All these years of shit football are now one big collective memory.

I'm honestly beginning to fear for the future of our club if Stubbins is around next season.
If we don't get a new coach in and give him the opportunity to bring in his players and have a full preseason it's another season down the drain.
It'll be three or four years before we recover from this, unless this muppet goes NOW

There starts to be a case for a business decision to be made based on potential income v cost of sacking the coach.
It's been the general belief on here previously, prior to the sacking, that we wouldn't sack Stubbins because we didn't have the cash to do so. I think the amount to pay out his contract (PO) needs to be weighed up against the potential loss of income from disgruntled season ticket holders (TH). If the TH income is > PO of stubbins + potential cost of replacement, then sack stubbins!
This is possibly making more sense why Zane was sacked, because he actually has his coaching badges and is a potential internal threat to Stubbins coaching position.
Out of interest, has Zane's termination been completed?

You are making a huge assumption that Mr Tinkler actually gives a flying ****. Where is our chairman? Certainly nowhere visible.
Murphy is in the same situation as Middleby was. Unable to make the big decisions, because its the big man himself who really makes all the calls when any money is involved. For all the talk of how good he is, nothing has been achieved since he took the reigns. I'm not going to judge him on that, more the puppet master at the top.
Tinkler has proven beyond all reasonable doubt that he was just giving us lip service with all his positive talk when he took over as chairman.
I'm not sure now this hasn't become some sick perverse game for Tinkler. He is sitting back giving his final **** you to Newcastle and the FFA.
Nothing is changing till he goes.

re the comment...
in another context... Aarau facing relegation to the second league...
We appointed are young coach (young by means of experience and age) ex player at Aarau some time ago and is from the area..
This was his first gig of a proper professional club.
The season started of well but we are now no wins in 14 games.
Facing relegation like i said in last place, 3 points behind 9th. before the weekend there was 7 points in it up to 6th spot. So a couple of wins and you would be sitting comfortable...
Another loss to a fellow relegation candidate and 2 other teams winning..
Christ had to go and yesterday he was given the boot and a new coach brought in...
Its irrespective if a coach wants to change wants going on, has passion, has been involved with the club... If it doesnt work something has to change..
(the league in anycase in Aus will not get any better in the lower half of the table until a relegation or a penalty system is put into place)
Oh and Stubbins out!!!!!

Stubbins rules out Carney Return (The Herald)
COACH Phil Stubbins has put a line through the chances of exiled midfielder David Carney making a return for the Newcastle Jets.
Carney has not played since owner Nathan Tinkler moved to sack the former Socceroo and four other senior players in the fallout from a 7-0 thrashing to Adelaide on January 24.
Kew Jaliens (Melbourne City), Joel Griffiths (Wellington Phoenix), Adrian Madaschi (Western Sydney) and Billy Celeski (released) have exited the club.
Carney, who has a season to run on his contract, has continued to train despite being overlooked for selection.
A meeting between the player and coach late last week had appeared to open the way for the 31-year-old to resume playing.
However, after a Herald report on Tuesday, that door has been closed and Carney will sit out the remainder of the campaign despite a depleted squad and series of poor results.
Stubbins addressed the matter after training on Tuesday.
‘‘Was there a chat? Yes,’’ the coach said.
See your ad here
‘‘Has the stance changed? No.
‘‘He won’t be playing.’’
The Jets face Adelaide at home on Sunday.
Andrew Hoole, who was outstanding in the drought-breaking 2-1 win over Wanderers, is away with the Olyroos in Chinese Taipei, creating a vacancy on the left wing.
Mr 2 in 22 talks of "moving forward" but can't bury the hatchet with a player and play him!

sammydog
30-03-2015, 02:23 PM
My feedback;
The atmosphere at the moment in the ground is non existent. I don't believe this is due to results alone as the club has been in a similar position for the last 4-5 years.
Whether the club likes it or not, there is large resentment towards the club (especially the coach) over the way the removal of senior players was handled and his puzzling tactical choices during games. People are sick of excuses like;
- The squad is small and fatigued (the coach made the decision to remove 5 senior players and Flores)
- The squad isn't good enough (see above, they were experienced players)
- I didn't pick the squad (this is a cop out)
At the end of the day there is 10,000+ current members and close to 50% are no turning up to sit in seats they have already paid for. The club needs to look within and ask why. Do you expect these people will suddenly turn around and buy another membership next year?
My family will be back next year, we love football and we love the Jets, but if you get out and talk to the membership base, the current results are only a minor contributor to the crowd/atmosphere drop. There is a massive disconnect between the current coach and fans and it is driving people away. There is a large apathy towards the club that began with the "clean out". This widening chasm between the club and fans needs to be repaired if the club wants to come even close to breaking 10,000 members next season.
First and foremost the club needs to look at how to retain these existing members. Free tickets and the like are not the solution. Results may help, but when the coach said the club needed a culture change, he wasn't wrong, but he is very much a part of the culture that is driving people in droves from the games.
I'm not sure how long the club can stick its head in the sand, but there longer it goes on the worse the community connection will become.

For me I thought we started the season ok. We were unlucky round 1 v Mariners and played some ok football early on. For me it was the capitulation against Wellington when we conceded 3 in 7 minutes that did me.
IIRC my thoughts on Stubbins went like this:
- gave him a lot of credit for Adelaide's ACL success, mostly because Adelaide fans raved about him so much.
- didn't take a heap of notice of him in Thailand, but was happy enough with his appointment and chose to be content, but fence-sit, on how I judged him at the Jerks.
- quite liked the squad list that was put together at the start of the season, even had optimism on Montano and particularly Steele.
- didn't mind we lost the FFA Cup game. Thought it'd take time for his team to gel, I think from memory Montano wasn't there yet, Flores was still injured and I think he was playing Jeronimo out wide too. Figured things would sort out over time.
- talked to Craig Goodwin's uncle (or maybe it was second cousin, can't remember) about Craig leaving, and I started to have doubts over Stubbins and his methods.
- was bored to death in the Coast away game. Had no faith whatsoever in Stubbins that he'd start Taylor Regan in centre mid.
- typical Jerks for the Wellington and Perth away games, I refuse to even get slightly optimistic about those games in any context.
- the game that I completely, without doubt, lost faith in Stubbins was the Brisbane 4-0 loss at home. That was (at the time) the most boring, deflating home game I've witnessed from the club.
- it's all been downhill for Stubbins since then.
- the player sackings only furthered my discontent (and hatred) for him.
- Every game hurt to watch, the one that hurt the most was the home game v City when Koren ran riot. That game was to me as bad as the Roar game.
- I still to this day haven't watched the 7-0 loss, I can't bring myself to.
Love Newy, Hate Stubbins.

the day flores tweeted that he wasn't injured and the coach wasn't selecting him.
most technically gifted player in the squad not getting a run is ****ing ridiculous
Funny I am not 100% certain on this but I can clearly tell you when my faith in GVE departed. I was actually pretty much late to the party on him and gave him far too much latitude.
The first season we had Heskey late on in the season was sitting at Sydney Airport waiting for my flight to Adelaide. Checked the Newy Herald website whilst waiting at the gate and there was an announcement that Michael Bridges had been resigned by the club. To me it showed me a complete lack of ambition from the club. We had Taggz and Kale as attackers on the books we also had a pile of young talent about to blossom in Chapman Beard Hoole Goodwin etc. Bright days looked like coming and our coach goes and wastes a VISA spot on this bloke 6 months before the next season starts. Basically saying lack of ambition to me to go out and find us our own Broich Hernandez Finkler Berisha etc and we will stick with a bloke who is achieving little and is not a defo starter
That was where I joined the GVE out mob
The Roar game was probably where it started for me with the Muppet. The performance was disgraceful and so flat it was not funny and his treatment of Birraz after that showed us all his man management skills.
Does say a lot that Birraz is happy to sit on the bench for a Serie B side getting relegated than sit on our bench

Funny I am not 100% certain on this but I can clearly tell you when my faith in GVE departed. I was actually pretty much late to the party on him and gave him far too much latitude.
The first season we had Heskey late on in the season was sitting at Sydney Airport waiting for my flight to Adelaide. Checked the Newy Herald website whilst waiting at the gate and there was an announcement that Michael Bridges had been resigned by the club. To me it showed me a complete lack of ambition from the club. We had Taggz and Kale as attackers on the books we also had a pile of young talent about to blossom in Chapman Beard Hoole Goodwin etc. Bright days looked like coming and our coach goes and wastes a VISA spot on this bloke 6 months before the next season starts. Basically saying lack of ambition to me to go out and find us our own Broich Hernandez Finkler Berisha etc and we will stick with a bloke who is achieving little and is not a defo starter

IIRC my thoughts on Stubbins went like this:
- gave him a lot of credit for Adelaide's ACL success, mostly because Adelaide fans raved about him so much.
- didn't take a heap of notice of him in Thailand, but was happy enough with his appointment and chose to be content, but fence-sit, on how I judged him at the Jerks.
- quite liked the squad list that was put together at the start of the season, even had optimism on Montano and particularly Steele.
- didn't mind we lost the FFA Cup game. Thought it'd take time for his team to gel, I think from memory Montano wasn't there yet, Flores was still injured and I think he was playing Jeronimo out wide too. Figured things would sort out over time.
- talked to Craig Goodwin's uncle (or maybe it was second cousin, can't remember) about Craig leaving, and I started to have doubts over Stubbins and his methods.
- was bored to death in the Coast away game. Had no faith whatsoever in Stubbins that he'd start Taylor Regan in centre mid.
- typical Jerks for the Wellington and Perth away games, I refuse to even get slightly optimistic about those games in any context.
- the game that I completely, without doubt, lost faith in Stubbins was the Brisbane 4-0 loss at home. That was (at the time) the most boring, deflating home game I've witnessed from the club.
- it's all been downhill for Stubbins since then.
- the player sackings only furthered my discontent (and hatred) for him.
- Every game hurt to watch, the one that hurt the most was the home game v City when Koren ran riot. That game was to me as bad as the Roar game.
- I still to this day haven't watched the 7-0 loss, I can't bring myself to.
Love Newy, Hate Stubbins.

You know that pic of the Brazilian guy at the WC holding onto his version of it crying? That was me during that game.
Mrs Grim bought me an Adelaide cap after the game, the bitch.

The left field signing of Stubbins, his first presser and his comments about how Newcastle is a fine footballing region, needs a team to be proud of and wanting to play attacking football... optimism.
Then about 30,000,000 naysayers from Adelaide told me he is shit, loves to scream at players in training, is clueless, plays favourites, loses the dressing room... shattered.
So about 10 minutes after he signed.

Same game confirmed my doubts. Looked totally out of control and bereft of ideas.
Can't help but think this bloke is another Rado of sorts, capable asst but not head coach material.

I have doubts he is even a capable assistant

Wasn't the Roar game when he put Kew at RB with Welsh at CB and everyone was like WTF!!!
Half-time comes and he puts Kew in his rightful position but by then yes it was already 3-0 down. I clearly remember people leaving at half-time, was the worst most uninspiring A League game I've ever seen live.
