Lip service.
Could have spent that time firing a coach or getting some players.
Brown nosing the superfans is the easy way to do it.
Never won a game in the A-League, get Dean's in to do the job.

[lquiquer]

Has he talked to Stubbins yet?.....Does he know who he is? ........legit question, the bloke is a nobody :whistling:

He hasn't sack stubbins yet #murphyout :grin:

Get onto it Murphy. Swing the axe or walk.

Tinkler has form giving money to blokes named Murphy when he's crying poor, hopefully the new carpet man is less successful dragging money out of tinks.

Saw a worrying comment elsewhere that he was just a puppet of the VPL board....a yes man.

Interview with the top dog

Rather interesting his constant mention of due diligence EPIC FAILURE IN THE PAST


Also mentions Tinks looking to get other investors involved in the set up.

Then lets fly at the end with the club will be targeting a marquee


All words so far but at present like the cut of his jib

[plague]

Sine he's been here:
No Griff.
No wins.
Signed a gypo.
Still mid strength piss.

Blokes a Disc-grace.
Murphy OUT.

[MFKS]

Sine he's been here:
Griff Removed.
Carney reinstated
No wins.
Signed a gypo.
Still mid strength piss.
Trying to Sign A gypo
Stubbins not sacked
Players not paid
Blokes a Disc-grace.
Murphy OUT.

Adjusted to be more accurate

[militiamon]

Can confirm along with others that this bloke actually seems quite switched on.
tbh he's the opposite of a yes-man for Tinkler as far as I'm concerned.

Respect to Middleby for the effort he put in, but let's be honest, he was way out of his depth in terms of running a national football club. Murphy is like the anti-Middleby.

Assuming Tinks doesn't lose it again, I think we'll start seeing much better things later this year, a pity it's about 5 years too late.

[GazFish35]

TWG: What is the cub’s current position on the three players remaining players told they are no longer wanted and offered terminations – David Carney, Adrian Madaschi and Billy Celeski?

MM: The bottom line is that David Carney is contracted for remainder of this season and the whole of the next and we hope we can come to a resolution with him before the end of the year. We don't see him as part of the playing group going forward and we're not going to go back on that. With the other two (Madaschi and Celeski) the sticking point is they want their contracts paid out in one hit, while we are saying we want to pay through the normal monthly pay cycle. If they accept that then they can leave tomorrow. If not, they can stay with the club for the rest of the season.

TWG: There is still financial uncertainty surrounding the club due to unpaid superannuation and other debts including tax liabilities. How close is owner Nathan Tinkler to resolving those issues?

MM: Nathan has certainly taken steps in the last month to clear components of the club's debt and that's public knowledge. With the remaining issues, we’re going to handle that professionally and directly with FFA and not play it out in the media. The communication and dialogue with FFA is very transparent. I am certain we will meet our obligations as required.

TWG: You are trying to re-engage with Jets fans after a bitterly disappointing season which has turned many of them off the club, at least for the time being. How do you win them back?

MM: I don’t think you need to be a rocket scientist to understand that the core reason for the disenchantment is that we’ve won only one game all season. They are tremendously loyal and passionate fans but they also demand and deserve a winning football team and want to feel confident they have CEO who will proudly represent the club and I can assure you we’re going to raise the bar as high as any club in the league in terms of how we engage with our fans and local community.

TWG: Where are you up to in recruiting and retaining players for next season and rebuilding the on-field standing of the Jets?

MM: We’re at ground zero. We only have four or five players contracted for next season and it's a wonderful opportunity to rebuild the squad. The signing of Nigel Boogaard from Adelaide sends a clear message on the type of player we are looking for – somebody who will give 100 per cent but just as importantly brings leadership skills on and off the field. We are in serious negotiations with three or four key players but we are a couple of weeks away from completing any of those signings. We are also very keen to keep hold of (Korean import) Lee Ki-je beyond this season.

TWG: There has been a lot to contend with in the three weeks since you took the job. What are you main objectives?

MM: It’s very clear; we need to put together a squad for next season that plays a good brand of football and is super competitive and puts us in a position to contend for finals. In recent times the selection process in bringing players to the club has been very ad-hoc. We also need to engage with the grassroots and we’re already talking to Northern NSW Football, whose participation numbers are going through the roof and we need to tap into that. You will never win a title with just home-grown players but ideally you want to see them as part of the mix. You may find this boring, but we’re going to have 60 members of a local football team, mainly from African backgrounds, at our game against Sydney FC on Friday night. I was driving past them at 8pm the other night playing on a suburban ground. I stopped, introduced myself and gave them tickets to the match. I hope that type of proactive engagement turns those guys into Jets fans. That’s more important than running big TV campaigns, as far as I’m concerned. I want us to be seen as the benchmark for other A-League clubs. While there’s been a lot of negativity, we have good staff, a fantastic fan base and our Emerging Jets program, I would argue, is the best in the country.

TWG: Nathan Tinkler has been very supportive of coach Phil Stubbins, siding with him against the players when they sought to have him sacked. What are you expecting from him now?

MM: Phil Stubbins as a human being is a gentleman and a quality person and it’s fair to say he hasn't had total control of the squad we've had to run with this year. He will get the chance to play a key role in selecting his squad of next season. But, like any coach, he then needs to get results. The general support around him has been lacking in the extreme and he probably went through a three-week period where he was the CEO and coach combined after Robbie Middleby's departure. That’s a lot of pressure.

TWG: The football on offer from the Jets this season has been basic at best and has lacked a cutting edge. It's been tough to watch.

MM: Right now, we have to play our strengths, which is holding teams at the back. But the reality is you can’t win if you don’t score and we are acutely aware we need to sign creativity in the midfield and strikers who can deliver and that’s what we’re working on.

TWG: Your niece is Matildas star Katrina Gorry, so you have football in your blood.

MM: Katrina is probably the best player in the Matildas right now. I was thinking about dual registering her. That would be an interesting PR exercise, the first lady player to play in the A-League!


Straight shooter

[Thomas477]

His niece certainly couldn't do any worse than some of the flogs out there at the moment.

[The Postman]

"I don’t think you need to be a rocket scientist to understand that the core reason for the disenchantment is that we’ve won only one game all season."

Does he really believe that?

[sammydog]

Straight shooter

Its interesting, but for me my disenchantment isn't so much to do with the fact that we have won only 1 game, but more to do with the way players were treated in the clean out.

I actually have no problems when Tinkler when he said the club needs a culture change and some players need to go. I am completely fine with that, and to an extent agree, for me its the way they went about it that has left me completely ambivalent about the club and its fortunes.

Ive been a season ticket holder well before the Jets were conceived, but I can not recall players being treated with this sort of contempt in any other iteration of newcastle football and it has soured football for me, not the results.

[GazFish35]

Probably not, but I reckon I'd we we were 20 from 20 not a single **** would given about tinkler not paying the superannuation and we'd have crowds of 15-20k

[lquiquer]

"it’s fair to say he hasn't had total control of the squad we've had to run with this year. He will get the chance to play a key role in selecting his squad of next season". That I disagree, posted earlier name of 10 players he signed......" But, like any coach, he then needs to get results"..... That I Agree.....

Depends if it was him doing the signing or they were forced upon him from higher up.

Not that I have any faith in him to get results even if he makes the right signings. Far too negative and more focused on not losing than winning.

[sammydog]

Thats a fair point. Unfortunately we will never know the answer to that one.

That was him. The only restriction he had was that he could not sign any marquee because they are not under salary cap and uncle Tinks would then have to pay. That was the word from HSG after last season: every squad members under salary cap and we r not paying that ridiculous amount of $$$ for that Arnie bloke. That's how we ended up with Mr 1 in 20.

Agreed. Things have changed since he turned up though.

No media used to drag players named through to mud, Kew, griff sorted, etc etc

I agree 100% with your post! but having met the guy, I'm convinced he'll clean this part of the club up.

[GazFish35]

We must have different information then.

You will never win a title with just home-grown players but ideally you want to see them as part of the mix.

In other words it's business as usual with the absolutely no plan to get the club out of the shit.

The coach that has one win in twenty games has no idea how to play attractive football or indeed winning football
I don't think there is a single fan with any respect for a coach that chases draws at home and until this khunt is out the door we will struggle to win, struggle to get players to sign, and membership number will continue to fall.

It's not the losing that's the issue it's the fact that many of us see the future as getting worse rather than better.

[la bazzle]

So Gaz AKA #Murphfanboi,

Is Murpherelli going to drag us through this shit for the rest of this season and most of next by not binning Stubbins now? I know he spoke to you very well and gave everyone a wristy, but surely rubbish binning Stubz should be priority one?

[lquiquer]

We must have different information then.

Have we got a marquee player of any kind? NO (only HAL club who has not) Did we get Arnie? NO (apparently Mr 1 in 20 was the first choice from the start :yeahright:) Was Tinkler keen to inject any $$$ in the club? NO Has Tinkler changed his tune since the new year? YES Do I trust him? NO

[la bazzle]

MM: But the reality is you can’t win if you don’t score



#str8shoota

[Pico]

Tinkler isn’t really injecting any funding, he’s simply paying out existing debts, using credit from a mate.

At least we’ll get to finally see some action, even if it’s off the field when the club and Tinkler finally implode, can’t wait, just hope Stubbins is still around so he can experience having the rug pulled from under him just like he did to the players.

[GazFish35]

I'm referring to how much stubbins had in who was signed.


I'm in agreeance with everyone that the stubbins is not for this level. And I fear that giving him time to sort the squad will only end up with us sacking him 5 weeks into next year and being faced with the next bloke claiming he's not got the squad he wants.

I'm also in agreeance that the way the club handled the sackings of five players and three coaches was terrible. So is Murphy. But have a look at what's happened since he's arrived. Kew and griff get sorted, boogaard signed, tinkler has stopped mouthing off in the media.

I don't think Murphy has his head in the sand about stubbins managerial abilities, or the fans discontent about it, or the process use to sack the guys. I think tinkler does. B
Murphy can't come out say mr1/20 is useless if tinkler won't agree to sacking him on the spot, and I'm not sure that'll be Murphy's style anyway.

Do I want stubbins gone? 100%
Were the sackings handled poorly? 100%

But this bloke has been in charge for 3 weeks and can't sack the coach without tinkler's say so.... It'd be another contract to pay out. What he had had influence on has improved sharply. Let's not tear the new CEO down before he's had time. If we do, well end up with the club we deserve instead of the club we want.

I too agree with this point. Obviously winning would help, but from what I see most of the fans have an issue with the ethics of the club, more so than how shit we are on the pitch. We have been tripe for years and people still turn up every week, but something has changed this year (and that is the way the coach and the CEO treated the playing group).

[The Dunster]

In other words. He's another useless muppet that pretty much has no say in the direction of the club.
Before he even took the job on he should have said to Tinkler - get rid of Stubbins he's a liability.... and so on.
To actualy come in knowing that Stubbins is here to stay Murphy is either foolish or simply drawing a salary while waiting for the club to go even firther down the shitter.

The club needs someone with the balls to sack Stubbins and it appears already that Murphy is not that guy.

As I was leaving the game last night, I am 99% sure that I walked past Murphy sitting alone in Bay 58. He actually looked very serious and an almost despondent looking figure sitting all alone.

Then even if we do get rid of the Stubborn prick, we will get another season of bollocks, followed by more excuses like "I didn't choose this team" and yet ANOTHER year of rebuilding..

regardless of whos squad it is/was at the start of the season is was better than 1 win.

atht alone suggests he doesnt deserve the chance to rebuild.

Thanks JM. Premy, this was what I based my post on, as the same thing was said to us b Murphy at the committee meeting. It's a case of he said/she said and while they may have been signed while stubbins was coach, it doesn't mean he had control in signing them...not does it mean he didn't.

I think we can now say, though, Stubbins certainly signed Mullen, Le-Ki, Cooper, JV Stratten and Alivodic. Two of these have been any sort of success, two haven't been used and one the jury is out on in my opinion.

Exactly..

Agree. But maybe, just maybe, we get a coach who doesn't use this excuse and can motivate players to perform next year.

However, if he's still here next year I can hear the excuses for a early FFA cup exit "The team needs time to bed in after such a massive overhaul of the squad last year and develop the mentality I want from the side and play the football that I want". Followed by a slow start to the season with "I'm happy with the performances and we're getting close to a win. Once the team get to know each other and work how I want them to, we'll see better performances".

Followed by the inevitable sacking midseason of players.

Of course Murphy is going to tell you that. Would be interested to know what Middleby and Baartz have to say.....

And who is left to counter this? Its easy to use people who left as scapegoats. Murphy would have to be taking Stubbins words on that one given the others are no longer around.

The reality is, they are going to say that because it serves their agenda to keep Stubbins around.

I don't believe the spin.

[MFKS]

I like the bit about the former admin making knee jerk reactions

Sacking 3 coaches and 5 senior players is what I call knee jerk just coz the coach flew to Brisbane and wanted them gone to save his arse


The decision to sack Stubbins will defo not be knee jerk the bloke has survived the axe more than enough.

I still am in the camp we are stuck with this bloke until the end of season so suck it up. I do not believe he will be coaching us next season regardless of what the club is publicly stating

Thing is.
He was the Head Manager at the time, it was his squad and the buck should stop with him as to who is signed.
He should have had the balls to say to RM and Bartz this is my squad I'm in charge of Football operations. All he is doing is deflecting blame on the previous CEO, something he is good at is deflecting blame.

Flores, Neuman and Madaschi were definitely his signings, Celeski I'm unsure of.
He had plenty of opportunities to reject the Montano deal and he was in the press regularly at the time saying his coming blah blah.
Steele, Gallagher and Caravella I'm unsure of

Forget his signings. Name one player who is playing at close to let alone anywhere what fans would consider their potential???

That is the biggest issue in that blokes under his control individually are not performing

[BodyNovo]

simple as this

his reputation is ****ed regardless

he would of been fine if they were middleby and palmers signings and he walked on the basis that they weren't his signings.

he obviously wasn't to upset at getting the blokes he was given.

Also, when you consider that before the start of the season he boldly declared that..."Newcastle will have a team that is capable of beating ANY tam in the A League for this coming season". You can't one minute be happy with your squad of players at hand and then when things turn to shit turnaround and start making excuses that "I inherited this squad".

Yep, Any shred of cred he had before that radio interview he has since lost.

He well and truly done his ass with some of his reponses.

[stopper2]

Been thinking about this for a little while but what if Murphy has actually been placed into the CEO position by FFA just to give that bit of stability after Middleby resigning. What if behind-the-scenes FFA are actually heavily involved but just letting things pan out till the end of the season and then they will act to take Tinkler's licence off him. Would make sense to already have your man in there getting a "feel" for the place for a few months and reporting back on where things are at. Lets face it if there is a plan in place on FFA's part (behind-the-scenes) Murphy is just playing it cool in the media about Stubbins' position to just let things take their natural course once the season ends. Because in reality what sort of a CEO would endorse a coach who has a record like this Muppet has to continue on for another season??? Might seem a bit of wishful thinking but for the club as a whole this would be the best-case scenario......worst-case would be that the FFA has no plan or intention of getting involved and that Murphy truly is 100% behind Stubbins...with the full backing of Tinkler. Now that is a truly frightening thought which gives supporters virtually no hope for the future.
