Reckon GVE will be flicked but will end up with Deans. Tinks will simply tell club he is not spending on an early replacement for the muppet.

If GVE has an ounce of class he would resign tomorrow.

But as we know he has no class or talent as a manager.

Overall I think the squad is fine, other than lacking some experience in defence and a holding midfielder. We could have and should have been further up the table with the squad at our disposal. Club needs to ask questions, but the answer seems pretty clear. GVE OUT.

He needs to go now though, so a replacement has time to fill remaining squad spots with their choice of player.

We had Topor and he got rid of him and replaced him with Mitchell.....that would rank as the worst decision in the HAL's history.
As for a holding midfielder I will give him credit for bringing in Caravella.....best player for the Jets out there tonight.
We need a #10.....Bridges is NOT the answer, bring back Nicky Carle.

Laurie McKinna was an interested spectator in Bay 71 today and the great Shinji Ono was also sitting up high in the same area. Anyway, aid say now what I said when this immature little dweeb was reemployed as coach. he is completely out of his depth and needs to go. I can't wait to hear the players' comments when he is gone. The local media think he is a paranoid nut bag and I'm sure the players feel the same way.

Also those calling for Milicic to be appointed, what experience does he have bar a season as NYL manager (worked for Victory with memhet) and a season as assistant manager? Rado had more and that worked out oh so well for him.

Maybe we should look at either of the Vidmars?

Lets have a look at Aurelios record with the Olyroos going through the campaign without scoring a ****ing goal.

Everytime I see that twit sitting on the bench next to Robbie Hooker and Holger Osieck at a Socceroos game I can't quite work out which of them is the most inept and pathetic of them.

Also after Aurelios rant at RADELAIDE being a piss ant town do we need another manager who blames all and sundry for the teams problems without looking in the mirror and taking on some blame himself.

As for Tony Vidmar other than step on the ball in the GF to set up Griffos winning goal what has he done in recent times??? Haven't heard from him since then

He needs to chuck it in, if he has tha balls to do it.
Crazy stifling tactics, seems to me that tha team has no confidence in their ability?
Too wound up in playing such a rigid system that relies on holding on to tha ball at all costs
but forcing them into rash passing moves when they are pressed,and turning it over constantly.
The defence against wsw? weak as piss tha first 2, 3rd was a screamer, didn't see much energy in closing him down though.
Jets all this season have looked 2 me to be very nervous,albeit a couple of wins, defence clueless with opposing players unmarked.

I dont so much care for the personal attacks on GVE, or the speculation as to what type of bloke he is, because in the end it doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters is the product that is presented to us. The performances do not match the promises and there is no sign of any change for the better.

Thanks for your efforts gary, thanks for the championship but it's time we went our seperate ways.

Scoz completely nails it here. Gaz should never have been reappointed- he conned a lot of people with his talking the talk approach, but surely anyone with half a brain could see through that. Some did from the start, others have realized through the season. the guy appears to have no feel for the game and generates mistrust from his players. We deserve much better than this.

As much as one may dislike Palmer he is to me the least of our ****ing concerns. Tinks is putting the cash in to give us a shot. How many other clubs had the luxury of a Marquee like ours other than WSW and Smurfs?? None.

We were still outdone over the course of the season by clubs who had less resources and smaller wage bills than us. To be perfectly fair we are still along way away from where we need to/SHOULD be

This comes back to GVE Deans the entire coaching group at our club and the bloke (Middleby) who seems to do sweet **** all at our club but is the one guiding the policy that has seen us wasting the advantages Tinks and HSG offer us that we never had in the past

Tinks should've punted Palmer for not punting Middleby when he should've punted GVE, but didn't, but he's the one with he cash, and no-one seems keen to spend it, so Tinks can stay.

Last question he answers rambles on about the need for changes at the club in the coaching and off field managerial areas.

I agree with ya Thomas, not much wrong with squad just a bit of tinkering here and there ( no GVE pun intended ) should suffice. Just need a coach who can convert whats on the whiteboard to to the field.

With a selling background it is quite obvious GVE goes by the motto dazzle em with brilliance or baffle em with bullshit. GvE tries the later but the football followers of this region have the smarts to see GVE trying to peddle bullshit by the truck load.

Why would Lowey's piece have affected it? Isn't he still our head scout? And what a great job he's done at that as well, FFS.

Honestly, I reckon our problems lie in management above GvE, specifically Middleby and Palmer. Palmer should have ****ing nothing to do with us, apart from ownership issues, don't micromanage. Middleby is the CEO and he be running the club, and if he's not, what the **** is he doing? And if he is running the club, surely resigning GvE was his brillant idea, and if so, he should fall on his sword as well. This is why I was glad that Gallop is the CEO of FFA, at least he knows how to run a sporting body, what experience does Middleby have, apart from running Fury into the ground?

My understanding is that Lowey has nothing to do with the club anymore. He did refer to not being critical during the season as he didn't want to be seen as a disgruntled ex employee.

I pretty much agree with your second paragraph though. Palmer signed Heskey. Palmer told GVE to pick Bridges. Palmer said no to a HUGE name guest stint.

Palmer needs to stick to business, and not trying to run the team. That being said, he doesn't seem to stick his bib in as much at the knights. Is he doing it at the jets because Middleby is a bafoon? If so, why not punt him and get someone decent in???

I think you will find that Palmer holds the purse strings on behalf of Tinks who has stated he wants nothing to do with running either of the football clubs.

So GVE and RM ask him for money.....if he says no that's that.

But then GVE wanted Joel, but RM vetoed that before it got to Palmer.

More HSG lies obviously.

If Palmer was a football tragic as you claim he would be able to see how ****ed we are under GVE regardless of his level of tactical understanding of the game. That being the case he would have made it a priority to punt the dickhead Saturday morning or at least by Tuesday this week.

If money is an issue why attempt to resign Heskey?? I can do without the marquee next season if it means we get a competent coach who will have the team firing on all cylinders and playing for Newy. The resigning of Heskey ain't gonna assist Membership numbers one bit with GVE still in charge. Letting Heskey go and signing a new marquee and keeping GVE may dazzle a few but keeping Heskey and GVE will achieve **** all for us

I don't care is Palmer is a tragic or not, he was the one that dumped us 12 months ago. I will never forget that.

Because Heskey is part funded by the FFA, if they could get the FFA to chip in for the termination fee for GVE they'd probably jump at it. Maybe the fans should start a bit of crowd funding to raise some extra coin for tinks to boot him.

In the current Tinks monetary scenario I guess HSG don't want yet another payout.

Let's look at this differently - Adelaide wanted rid of Kossie and how did they go about it to avoid sacking him ? They let out a little rumour that pissed him off enough to walk.....

And then both Fergie and Rado were given cushy jobs upstairs and never heard from again.

Good start, running late already.

Grimario
05-04-2013, 12:41 PM
Elliott:
What positions are you looking to bolster with new talent for next season?
GvE: We are looking to bolster in the front third in particular as well as a central defender with experience. We now have the knowledge of Emile Heskey being here and getting players to compliment him in the forward area.


Joel:
We haven't made the finals in 3 years and the chances of that are just 6%. What do the you think about this underachievement and what are you doing to change it?
RM: We're all very disappointed that we haven't made the top six. We are currently in the middle of our end of season review and we'll endeavour to rectify this for next season.


Member:
Kale Bradberry has scored nearly 40 goals across the last NBN and NYL seasons. Given our lack of goals in the HAL, what does he have to do to get a run in the senior squad?
GvE: The jump between youth league and first grade is quite large. Kale is doing well and we're looking to get him involved in first grade training sessions. From there we'll be able to monitor his development even more.

sychsessions:
Why are we not renewing Ritter, he's consistently been one of our best defenders all season, always the first back on the counter, confident in his ability to bring the ball forward out of the back line, and could also help set up stuff in the midfield... Further to this, he was one of the shining lights when it came to community engagement (one only needs to view his twitter to see this). Surely it's a big risk to get rid of him and hope we'll get someone as good next year (especially as GVE seems intent to have a left footer)
RM: We unfortunately couldn't come to an agreement due to salary cap restraints.

Sam:
What is involved in the end of season review?
RM: All aspects of the Club, from a commercial aspect, players and staff. All about making sure we are in a better position for next season.

BJ:
G’day guys. What, if anything, will you be doing differently over the off season to ensure the best chances of the team finishing the next season higher up the table?
GvE: The stability of the playing group will help a lot. We are also looking at the possibility of an overseas trip to help develop the team further.

Sam:
What are the biggest off field challenges facing the Jets short and long term?
RM: Short term, retaining our Membership numbers, which is the second largest in the A-League and improving all aspects commercially. Long term, the viability of the Jets and the entire A-League competition. The A-League has to build collectively and progress positively until the next TV deal.

Scott:
Troy is HSG still committed to both the Jets & Knights ?
TP: Most definitely!

Andrew:
You guys are all doing sensational things for the club. Gary especially! Perhaps a question for Troy or even Robbie? Would newcastle look at doing another match like the LA Galaxy game? Perhaps with a Premier league team? Or is their some agreement that stops that if other A league teams are doing it.
TP: Thanks Andrew. We would look at doing another game like the LA Galaxy game. It was a huge success for Newcastle and we will always look to bring world class events to Newcastle.

Stephen:
Hi Why was it seen Has benefiting the squad to let Topper go to another club?
GvE: Both parties were mutual in knowing Nikolai needed a change.

Fat_Lenny:
Hi, I'll be signing next season as a member, but there is a lot of talk on social media and in the the comments section of online media from the public and current members that people won't be signing up next season unless perceived issues at the club from this season are addressed. How do you respond to this, and is this type of talk from members a cause of concern for the club?
RM: The club will be disappointed to lose any Members and we will continue to work hard to promote our brand and to make being a Member of the Newcastle Jets a worthwhile experience. Our Membership prices have been the most affordable in the A-League for the last two seasons. Positive on field results will help drive Memberships next season.

sychsessions:
How is Heskey looking at being used next year? Our pre-season games saw us move the ball around the middle and actively look to set things up from the midfield, there was glimpses of this when Heskey was injured, however it seems the rest of the year, the tactics were to hoof the ball to him and hope for the best... Should we expect more of the same next season, and if not, what are you looking at doing in the off season to change this mentality?
GvE: As a target man, as he has played all of his career. The advantage we have this year, we have a good opportunity to bring in players that will compliment him and the whole front line. That will equal more goals.

Mayze:
The goal was set at the start of the season to make the finals in order to consider the season a success. If we had finished 5th or 6th, would you have really considered the season a success?
RM: We look at all aspects of the season to determine what success is.

Brett C:
All we ever hear is that we are looking at players for the front third. Our goals conceded is one of the worst in the league, and the ball doesn't seem to get to the front third. Do we maybe need players who can get the ball to those in the front third and help stop conceding goals??
RM: We are looking to recruit an experienced central defender for next season

Gav:
Any chance one of these forums could be live, face to face, hire a lecture theatre at the uni and field questions directly from fans in the flesh? These online chats are great but many of us really do get the feeling that the PR department seem veto questions, and answers are cliched. We don't bite. Can't we do this in person?
TP: We hold a Members Forum at our Member event and will be happy to take all your questions at that event again. We are always looking at better ways to interact with our Members and fans and we will continue to explore our options.

Guest:
Would the club consider giving members and fans an opportunity to meet with you all for a public forum?
TP: As we just said, we will explore this as an option. Like doing this Live Chat, we are always looking to communicate with our Members and fans as much as possible. I think a Members Forum is a good option.

Andrew:
how can we complete over 200 more passes than WSW and get beat 3-0... Surely your style of play isn't working
GvE: The big issue for us is what we do with the possession. That's an area that we're still working on. We're looking to become better in that front third and get the ball forward quicker, rather than circulating it. We need to create more opportunities from that weight of possession than what we did against the Wanderers. We need to make sure that when we keep possession it is in the opposition's half, not our own.

Joel:
Will the new TV Deal fully cover the salary cap
TP: At this stage we do not know because the new CBA has not been signed off. The intention was to cover the salary cap however I think it will be unlikely.

Elliott:
Will we be getting an Australian marquee next season?
TP: Hi Elliott. We are always looking to strengthen our Club and we will definitely explore an Australian marquee for next year.

sychsessions:
With Bridges possibly freeing up a Visa spot before next season, is the club looking to recruit another Visa player?
RM: We have 5 visa spots available and we have 2 spots used (Emile and Bridgey) so plenty of scope for filling those extra places next season.

almcgoo:
Gary, my opinion has not been formed by the local media. It has been formed by playing the game 15yrs (including representative), watching and supporting the local national side since the KB United days, current Jets member, travelled to Melb, Syd & Bne to watch away games and watched every Jnr Jets game in the local league last season. You keep mentioning the positives not being reported. From where I am standing the team that you built (full pre-season under their belt) showed no improvement over the 27 rounds. We have a squad that is as good as any other in the A-League yet we have 'under achieved' (confirmed by you on radio earlier this week). What makes you think that you have what it takes to get the Jets to top 4 next year?
GvE: The amount of experience these younger players have got this season will hold them in good stead for next season. With a few more positive additions to the squad during the off-season we'll definitely be looking to be more competitive next year.

Fat_Lenny:
Outside of these chat (which has been great), does the club have a direct line of communication with the supporter base?
RM: We are always open to discuss matters with all our Members and supporters. We liaise on a regular basis with our supporter groups and are open to to anyone's questions and feedback.

Member:
Regarding Kale - given the step up that Hoole and Gallaway have both made, why was Kale not given the same chance?
GvE: Not just Kale but all the players in our youth system are in with a chance of moving up into the A-League. We have a close link between the Youth and senior team, the Youth coach is my assistant coach. Our knowledge of what goes on there day to day, week to week, is very good. Kale has had an opportunity to come in and train with the A-League and we are monitoring his development closely.

BJ:
I was under the impression that the 2013/14 season would see at least one A-League game a weekend shown on free to air television. Is this true or was I misinformed? That has got to be a big plus in promoting the entire competition if so
RM: It's true. SBS will air a match every Friday night. Having a free-to-air component will be a positive step for the A-League.

Andy:
@Gary, how do you feel the players did this season at following your instructions?
GvE: The basis of how we played - the players were on board. More of the issue was making crucial mistakes at crucial times that we got punished for. With more quality in the front third, I think we will see advantage of the higher amount of possession we have been able to have in games create opportunities in the front third and score goals.

Steve:
Is there any issues between the Jets and the Newcastle Herald. Normally, they seem to be one of the first to know about happenings at the club (and thare should be liason between the club and the local media) but there has been nothing with regards the actual re-signing of Emile HEskey. Are there issues between you and the Herald?
TP: I was as surprised as anyone that Emile's re-signing was not covered by the Newcastle Herald. There is no issue with the Newcastle Herald from my end, however I have been disappointed with the level of coverage and manner of coverageat times this season. It always seems to be looking for the negatives and controversy and not highlighting the positives. We're open to criticism and deserve criticism at times, however some of the articles have been quite personal and ill-informed which has been disappointing. I would expect the local media to be behind the Club like we feel the rest of the Newcastle media is.

Steve:
After resigning Heskey, will the club continue to look at Kewell as a potential signing for next season?
RM: We have looked at the option already and we will continue to stay in contact with his representatives for next season.

sychsessions:
How are we so close to the salary cap when our squad consists predominantly of youth players, yet Sydney seem to legitimately balance the books and have double the star power of us (which surely helps membership). I have no qualms with developing youth, but if we are letting go of good players citing the salary cap as a reason, is it possible that we're not using the salary cap to the best of our abilities, and if so, what is being put in place to fix this longer term?
RM: Some clubs have used the Australian marquee, the International marquee, the under 23 marquee (home grown) and the guest player option. Taking this into consideration, some clubs can afford to spend double the amount other club's spend on player wages. The FFA are currently looking at the regulations around the salary cap.

Mick:
How long will the youth world cup go for? And does it coincide with preseason?
GvE: The players will leave around mid May and the World Cup begins in June. It depends on their success as to how long they will be away. For the young players to gain international experience is crucial in regards to their development. We will have possibly 6 in the squad, which is fantastic for the Club.

Mike:
Gary would u look at shifting to more of a 4-4-2 structure in the team to give Heskey someone closer to him that works directly off his strength all the time? Similar to the ways in which Michael Owen used to profit from their partnership.
GvE: You've got to look at how the game has evolved from 10 years ago to now. the way in which we utilise players within a system is to look to complement all the players, not just one player.

sychsessions:
On the basis of the media, have the jets thought about having members/fans carry out interviews/articles etc for the website leading into next year? This would be a way to increase engagement, whilst giving balanced news/articles to fans and members. It would also create less of a PR spin feel to most of the content that comes from the club, and an alternative to some of the "controversial" reporting of The Herald
TP: This is great feedback and something we will discuss internally. I like your thinking!

Guerny:
What does the club perceive as the priorities of Jets supporters for next season? How are you determining what these supporter priorities are?
RM: We want Jets supporters and Members to be proud of their club. We will continue to work as hard as possible to ensure that this is achieved with commitment and passion in both on and off-field areas. We will continue to strive to make our community proud of the Jets.

05-04-2013, 01:17 PM
Andy:
It seems that the club didn't like the recent article written by kevin cranson, yet it accurately summed up our season and our issues. If you disagree with the article, could you please write a detailed response (published) to show how wrong and "misinformed" the article was?
(.... no response? Did they accidentally let this one slip through?)
(delayed response)
TP: Andy. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and some points the article made were very valid. We did not make the finals and therefore criticism is warranted. I can assure you in the the season review, this criticism will be taken on board. My disappointment with the story was that it was made personal with an agenda of having a staff member sacked. For example, there was a particular comment which stated our coach has not been involved in the Emerging Jets. This is a completely incorrect and there is no other coach in the A-League more devoted to junior development. Gary has actually invited Kevin Cranson and David Lowe through the Men of Football to discuss their points of views. They have declined.

Mayze:
Will we be using our Australian Marquee spot for next year - seeing as though we didn't this year?
RM: The marquee positions are currently being reviewed by the FFA. We are awaiting confirmation of the format and regulations around the marquee positions.

Margaret:
Why do the clubs not seem to have ownership of their websites rather it is under the control of the FFA/A-League? It seems to take away some level of individuality especially in how the club and members relate.
TP: These are FFA rules we need to adhere to as a Club in the A-League.

pjt:
Are we going to try to achieve a stable run on side next season? Watching the Mariners, the Victory and others, you could be 90% sure of naming the majority of their side. That was never the case with the Jets and it was extremely frustrating.
GvE: First of all, you have a valid point. Part of that was due to the number of Young Soccerooos that went away during the season. There were other personal issues for certain players and injuries that meant we couldn't have as stable football team as we would have liked. This season we have so much more stability within our squad because the low turnover of players.

Joel:
Are you looking at bringing Matt Thompson back as his contract expires soon?
GvE: Matt is a good player and did some great things at Newcastle. All players off contract will be considered.

Mayze:
Any progress with Bridges becoming an Australian citizen so he doesn't take a visa spot anymore?
RM: We will be assisting Michael to achieve Australian citizenship. We're hoping this will be done before the start of next season.

Steve:
Thanks for the opportunity to have this Q&A session. I have been a supporter since season two (I was undecided in season one as I lived in Sydney but my partner is from Newcastle and we enjoyed the football the Jets started palying in season two). I have also been a member for four season and will certainly not give it away because of a couple of poor season. I wish the staff all the best for the coming season and future. Hopefully, next season will see an improvement and we can make the finals.
RM: Thank you for your support Steve. We look forward to having you on board next season!

Arran:
How does that club feel about WSW being allowed more VISA players, both this season and next season, than the other 7 clubs?
TP: As a Club we were supportive of WSW getting a special allowance for season 1. It was important for them to be competitive in their first season. However my understanding is next season WSW will have the same visa spots as the rest of the competition.

sychsessions:
One of the biggest flaws in our team this year seemed to be reacting to counter attacks, a specialised central defender will help in this regard, but one player doesn't a team make... What/who can we expect to see in these defensive roles next year?
GvE: We'll work more with the squad we have and we've already stated we're looking to bring in an experienced central defender. The players will become more organised individually with another pre-season under their belt. The addition of an experienced player to also lead that defensive line will also ensure their positioning becomes better as well. We see this as a very important part of our pre-season because we were very disappointed with the number of goals we conceded on the counter-attack.

sychsessions:
To put it a bit clearer for us members/supporters, how much room do we have under the salary cap for next year (no need to mention dollar amounts if not comfortable)? On one hand you're releasing players citing they couldn't fit under the cap, but on the other, you're saying you're looking to recruit experience in different areas of the park... Are we looking at A-League experience, or do we have the room to move to look at Europe?
RM: We're looking to bring in 3-4 experienced players and we have room to do that under the salary cap. We're looking in both Australia and abroad for these players

Mayze:
Bernardo was signed as a visa player and barely used. Who is to blame for "wasting" the squad and cap space?
GvE: We don't see it as a waste. We looked to bring someone here who had a point of difference. There are a range of reasons why he didn't get as much game time as we thought but we thank him for his efforts this year and we leave on good terms.

Newcastle Disc Golf:
How does the club promote active lifestyle and participation in sports outside of football? How would a local sporting group go about contacting the Jets and inviting their participation in other sporting activities?
:lulz:
RM: We are always open to participate in local organisations outside of football. Over the last season we've been involved with SCORES program which promotes a healthy lifestyle in young children. We will continue to help promote an active and healthy lifestyle for our community.

Bronwyn:
Will memberships be the same price as this season?
TP: We are starting to work on our Membership campaign for next season. We will always do what we can to ensure families can get to the games. This has always been one of Nathan Tinkler's mandates in owning the Club.

Mayze:
Every year, each A-League club is allowed to make one request in regards to the draw. The first year HSG took over, the request was to have majority home games on a Sunday (which was a failure). This year it was more Saturdays/Sundays. What for next year? Less Wellington trips?
RM: The FFA are looking to reverse the draw for next season meaning only one trip to Perth and Wellington for the Jets.

Steve:
We seem to get a lot of injuries during training realtive to those in games? Why is this?
GvE: Injuries are a part of sport, whether they happen at training or at the game. We have good sport science in place to ensure our players are managed throughout a season.

Steve:
Zenon Caravella was agreat acquisition. Are their plans to try to attract a creative attacking meidfield (a so called number ten) to the club?
GvE: Yes we are. That is one of the positions we are looking to recruit. Agree Zenon has been a great acquisition.

Bill:
Do you think the squadron needs to pull their socks up for next year after seeing the RBB?
RM: Yes, they have been exceptionally poor this season. How the players are supposed to get psyched up with such poor crowd support, we do not know. If the Squadron and fans want winning football, they need to provide support that deserves it. They should be more like the RBB.

Steve:
With the court hearing today stating that a number of Tinkler's companies have paid their tax debts, can you confirm that the Jets are now free of the ATO winding up order?
TP: Yes.

(not really re Squadron)
RM: I think the Squadron have been sensational for the Newcastle Jets. It is a unique experience being at a football match compared to other codes due to the active supporter groups. Hopefully the Squadron will continue to grow year-on-year and continue to rival the supporter groups of other teams.

They are very measured responses.

I should have asked a question about the possibility of pursuing a player like Nick Carle who could see us as an opportunity for more regular football in their preferred position.

Next time.

For example, there was a particular comment which stated our coach has not been involved in the Emerging Jets. This is a completely incorrect and there is no other coach in the A-League more devoted to junior development. Gary has actually invited Kevin Cranson and David Lowe through the Men of Football to discuss their points of views. They have declined.

Interesting

Grimario

Andy:
what is the clubs goal for where we finish next season? Please be specific!
RM: We are working on our end of season review now and we will set our goals following that process. Like every Club, we expect to be at least top 6.

sychsessions:
Directly related to a player, James Brown impressed in the preseason in the mids are was integral in setting up a few goals and chances, however come the season proper he didn't seem to fire and seemed to get lost in the middle. What sort of advice/coaching/developing will you be looking at in the offseason to try and spark some form, and do you feel it can be put down to a lack of confidence in his abilities?
GvE: The main issue for James was his ankle injury, which was more serious than first thought and impacted on his confidence when he came back. He is an excellent player who I think will have a big season next year.

Mayze:
A question for GvE - Ange came into Brisbane and was nearly an instant success. He did likewise at Victory. Popovic the same at WSW. Are you unhappy with the rate of on-field points you've gotten since taking over at the Jets nearly two full seasons ago?
GvE: We are disappointed with results from a points base. A big turnover of players from last year to this year and the recruitment of young players didn't help with consistency. We will have more stability this season, with minimal turnover plus the players experience from this year for next year, will put us into a good position. What a crock of shit. Ange ripped the guts out of Brisbane and MV, used more youth players than we did and is generally kicking ass. GVE OUT!

Rhys:
Why is there all of a sudden a big emphasis on having "experience" on the field when the mantra all season has been about promoting youth?
RM: We'll continue to develop and promote youth. With the departure of senior players, we're looking to bring in some more experience to complement our talented youngsters.

Steve:
Who dictates the time slots for the A-League fixtures? Is there a preferred time slot for the Jets games?
TP: The FFA in conjunction with Fox Sports. We have no control over it.

Joshua:
Are the jets looking at implementing a new jersey for next season? I think Robbie Middleby mentioned talks had begun with ISC?
RM: We're in discussions with ISC and will keep you posted.

GT:
GvE - there is a lot of talk about young player improvement, additional players, etc. as the answer to the club improving next season. What about you - where are you hoping to improve? This years results are NOT only solely due to the players!
GvE: From the review we are doing, it will help us look at all areas of the Football Club as a whole. We will then identify what we can do to improve those areas. That includes me

Troy:
RM are players available off season to come out to local clubs training sessions and if so how would we go about it
RM: We are always looking to be involved at a grassroots level. Contact our Community department at community@huntertsportsgroup.com

R. Evans:
Although Heskey is a good player, do you feel his late arrival pre season upset the chemistry of the team to some extent at the start of the season.
GvE: His late arrival was not ideal but he is a fantastic player and he brought as much off the field as he did on the field. Next year, with a full pre-season and the time with the team, will be a huge benefit.

Mitch:
I have seen Melbourne Heart with a great initiative with a competition for a fan to design a 3rd alternate strip to be worn for a game or two during the season. Is this something the Jets would entertain to engage the community in a different way?
TP: That was a clever idea and something we would like to look at doing.

Sam:
With the Friday night SBS games, have you had guarantees the jets will get their fair share? Or do you expect a similar situation to NRL, where Brisbane play almost every Friday night
TP: That hasn't been discussed at this stage, so we have no idea. We will obviously push to get free to air coverage.

Gerard:
How's the emerging jets program coming along? What's the biggest difference it will make to local football?
RM: The Emerging Jets program will give a direct pathway for all our local juniors, girls and boys, to one day play for the Jets in the A-League and W-League. This is something we are all passionate about. At the moment this program is administered by NNSW Football in conjunction with FFA and the Newcastle Jets. As this is in it's infancy there are some teething issues, but that's to be expected. We're excited about the players who will come out of this program.

Steve:
Gary, you talk about more quality in the front third but we've released players of the calibre of Jeremy Brockie (Golden Boot runner-uo) And more lately Ryan Griffiths. You seem to have got rid of quality players for the front third.
GvE: We wanted to keep both of them but different circumstances didn't allow this. With Jeremy, the amount of money he demanded we could not fit under our cap. In regards to Ryan, he had an opportunity to earn big dollars in China and he and his family were adamant he wanted to go. These are examples of the difficult decisions in running Clubs.

Troy:
GVE Do you regret the decision to play Mitch Oxborrow in Perth and obviously to drag him at halftime and not give time to redeem himself in the 2nd half as you did for Connor Chapman against the heart
GvE: Not at all. They're two different players personality wise. With the type of player that Connor is in comparison to Mitch, it would have been more detrimental to leave Mitchell on. The 45 minutes Mitch played has been extremely beneficial to developing his football mentality. Both players are developing very well and I expect both to be influential next season.

Crackers_14:
@TP In regard to the issue / non-issue with the Newcastle Herald,were Jets players instructed to not talk to the herald at any point during the season?
TP: The Herald has always been invited to events, training and game days. We don't make players talk to media, they have a choice. The players were extremely upset over a couple of stories in the pre-season. One of these in particular was about Michael Bridges when the team were staying at the AIS. This strained the relationship and as a Club we support the players.

Crackers_14:
With our defence "leaking" goals at times, and with Dom Ritter leaving, does the club have other defenders in mind to fix the problem. I think Chapman will a great player in the future, but he he needs some strong experience in the line next to him.
GvE: Yes, we are definitely looking at bringing in a more senior defender for next season. Connor has a great future and will benefit from an experienced player as will the whole of the defence.

Guest:
Is Musialik an option for next season?
GvE: Yes, he is training with us and he will play in the Jets team competing in the NBN competition.

Fat_Lenny:
I realise it is out of the clubs hands and you may not be able to answer either of these questions, but is there anything that is being looked at to improve the quality of the playing surface for next season, and further to that, with the Asian Cup news, is there plans to seat the hills. The latter may provide a better opportunity for active support.
RM: We hire the ground from the NSW government. We've had numerous discussions about the playing surface with them, but unfortunately decisions about the quality of the surface lie with the NSW government and Hunter Venues. We would expect there will be some improvements made for the Asian Cup.

Linda.:
The emerging jets is a wonderful program but how can the council have such powers in regards to where they train and then closing grounds when a drop of rain appears. These gifted kids are missing valuable training which they will never get back. Surely these kids should have high priority.
RM: I agree. This has always been an issue here in Newcastle in regards to suitable training grounds. We will work closely with NNSW Football explore all options. Unfortunately Newcastle doesn't have any artificial FIFA approved football pitches, this is something we're hoping will change in the future.

That is it for today. Thanks for all the questions. Sorry we couldn't get to all of them!

When its all said and done there objection to the Herald article citing it was pesonal because they questioned GvE's invlolvement in the emerging jets is a load of crock and very thin skinned to say the least.

We all know there real objection was because it rammed home a few truths regarding GVE performance as a manager and just what a stupid decision HSG made giving GVE an extension prematurely.

It appears IMO that the club just does not have the money to both terminate GVE early and replace him with an incoming new coach. Probably also demonstrates they do not see Deans as a first team head coach at this club as that would have been a option to them without the additional expense i would think.

Nothing i seen happen today gives me any confidence in the future of this club whilst Palmer, Middleby and GvE are in control on & off the park.

In fairness, they admitted that "some points the article made were very valid". Not easy for them to admit given that it was such a one-sided piece. They took offence to some misinformation, as you would, but I don't see anything that was unreasonable about their response.


Also just from my own point of view, I wouldn't be too upset if Gary were to be sacked right now, but on the other hand why is it so difficult to accept that the club might actually want to keep him for legitimate reasons? Namely that stability is always better than instability, that he fits in with the club's youth development policy, and that despite the poor results we have for the most part dominated many of more successful teams in the league.
Yes, I know people can go back and forth over these points, and I would probably agree with some of your points, but at the end of the day it is a reasonable position to take.

When my dad said this I immediately thought about the panel they had which was dissolved, does palmer and co think it was a mistake to dissolve the original panel? And did gve originally say "I don't need the help of a panel" and therefore middleby and palmer blindly trusted his judgement?

If this is true, how will gve last being undermined by a panel when he can't stand senior players that have a say?
Hopefully this breaks gve earlier than expected and we manage to find a manager capable of listening and using others opinions to better the club.

Unfortunately for GVE he doesn't really have anything to back him up.

Most of our performances have been boring and ugly, and cannot be used to say "we didn't get the points, but we have been playing well". I'd be somewhat happy to accept that notion if it were true, but it would take some pretty thick rose coloured glasses to say that a majority of our performances this season were entertaining and effective.

Also statistically he is going backwards.
Season 2009-2010 (Branko) - Finished 6th, Scored 33, Conceded 45, Won 10
Season 2010-2011 (Branko) - Finished 7th, Scored 29, Conceded 33 - Won 9 (Slight decrease in Goals For and Wins - Sacked)
Season 2011-2012 (GVE) - Finished 7th, Scored 34, Conceded 35 - Won 10 (Slight improvement in Goals For and Wins, but pretty much the same as Branko's 2 seasons)
Season 2012-2013 (GVE) - Finished 8th, Scored 30, Conceded 45 - Won 8 (Medium Decrease in Goals for, large decrease everywhere else - going backwards)

If you add to that his terrible man management and the arrogance he displays to the supporters, it becomes very difficult to state a case for his retention.

You blokes is kidding yourselves.
We are winning all of the new metrics of which football is now judged (scoring etc are soooooo 1980's guys).
The wage bill is down because we have less Sunday games (ergo no penalty rates).
We are dictating pretty much every game. As in dictating when the other team scores because we give them the ball 18 yards out and don't defend them.
Gosh even Becks came here just to soak up the nu wave of football.
This club is going places.
Ok, so the coaching staff have identified just a few areas that need tweaking (attack, defense, tactics, Galloways boots). Fix those and we are well on the way to being the premiere team in the greater Newcastle/Hunter Valley area.


With GVE and Middleby at the helm we are in great hands.

My dad plays golf with a fella that knows troy palmer and apparently there will be some kinda panel set up next season to oversee gve and the operations of the club.

Yep, I've heard this same rumour.
Names that got thrown up to me as being certainties to be on the panel were.
1. Deans.
2. GVE's sister.
3. The boss of Hanamoto security.
4. GVE's daughter.
5. Paul Harragon.

Most of our performances have been boring and ugly

Are you kidding me? Which is it:

1. Short memory?
2. Selective memory?
3. Distorts history to suit anti-GVE agenda?

We played some seriously good games of football this season and on several occasions were robbed of a win (best recent example - Adelaide). Come off it. I'm not saying GVE had us playing well every game but ackowledge the truth which is when it clicked, it was good to watch.

Are you kidding?!?! We played maybe two or three total games of good football this season... unfortunately, that was spread across 10-15 ACTUAL games of football where the rest of the time we played like turd.

Also Plague you forgot to mention we are saving a bundle in bonuses.

Not winning many games is cutting down the frequency HSG have to pay the players a win bonus.
Also not making the semis year in year out is saving any bonuses players have in their contracts for making playoffs/ winning trophies .

Middleby and the Egg are doing a great job running the club the way they do to ease the burden on Tinks wobbling empire.

It really isn't. We were shite from day 1, advantageous ref decisions and some shit finishing by opposition got us results completely against the performances. Then the last two thirds of the season we were utter shite and not "lucky" at all. We played a few halves of football that weren't awful, namely against Adelaide, Nix, Heart and Perth... where else this season have we played really well? You are delusional.

Sh10 I went to 19 games this season. 7 wins 5 draws 7 losses.

The only times I left the ground satisfied and pleased with life were the Smurfs away win at ADP's arrival party. We played really well and the final score of 3-2 didn't do justice to how much better we were.

The only other time was the 2-0 win at home V Heart. We were pretty solid all game bar a 10 min spell in the first half where we wobbled a bit but Heart didn't punish us.

Sure there were other games Win V Gypos/Victree and draw at Shittoungue that left you with some satisfaction knocking off a high flying rival but a satisfaction that was tempered by the realisation we got away with a good result and may not have deserved it. The rest of the time I left feeling irritated and bored.

agree with da memba (nearly an anagram of demba ba i just realised). apart from sydney 3-2 and heart at home, when did we actually play good this year? i can nae remember many times. i can remember patches/glimpses/etc - but no genuine times. the only time we've looked good/great/where-gary-should-have-us-with-the-amount-of-time-he's-had is when we've played amazingly awful sides.

Replying to a few others (Grimario etc) with this post as well.

So you have cited:

Grimaro has added:
- nix in nz
- perth in perth (draw)
- adelaide in adelaide (2-2 draw)

I'll add:
- perth home (2-1 loss)
- Brisbane home (rd22)
- Coast away in Jan
- coast away rd3
- Victory rd4

Prob others I have forgotten but that's a decent number of games where we actually clicked and didn't always get the results for whatever reason

- adelaide in adelaide (2-2 draw) Was a 1-1 draw and we played well in first half and lost the plot in the second half
I'll add:
- perth home (2-1 loss) We played well that night and result wasn't justice
- Brisbane home (rd22) Rain that night meant the game was a bit if a scrap
- Coast away in Jan Battled well but FFS it is a derby I expect us to aim up. Coasties struggled that night in the rain bringing them back to our level
- coast away rd3 - I assume at home with the 2-1 win- Great result to beat those peasants but we were far from dominant
- Victory rd4 - Arsey win where Victory should have been up by 2-3 in the first half

Prob others I have forgotten but that's a decent number of games where we actually clicked and didn't always get the results for whatever reason??

Have to agree to disagree with some of those performances. I forgot the first Perth result was 3-2 not a draw but still our best performance in Perth since Griff's late magic 6 years ago.

Grimario

I didn't say we played well for those entire games. If you read my post, those are the games where we showed brief glimpses of being able to play well... but not for sustained periods (i.e. entire games). Over the course of the season, I think our total "played well" time adds up to 2-3 games (i.e. 270 or so minutes). Over the course of a 27 game season, that is atrocious.

I'm not sure how you can lay the blame for either goal on the back 4

The problem is the constant cheap turnover of possession

If the full backs didn't coconstantly remove themselves from the same postcode as our centrebacks half our problems would disappear

Then we'd only need to find out how to find the back of the net...

Add in the fact our 2 Defensive CM's need to stay together and sit in to protect the BACK 2 (Chapo Huge Aliens). There is no point Zads being 10 yards or more up the park if Zenon has the ball. If Zenon loses it with our 2 fullbacks pushed up then it is raining down hard on Huge Aliens Chapo and Birraz and we are ****ed

Maybe rather than relying on the full backs to drop, maybe the centre backs should push up and play a higher line?

How much of that did he really have to do with it ?.

I could be wrong but i reckon many will tell you Theo's squad, Jones's brains.
.
Maybe he is a nice fella and all but GvE is a born salesperson and lives by the dazzle em with brilliance or baffle em with bullshit motto. There has been no brilliance and no one is buying his bullshit.

Perhaps we could piss him off for a few weeks work experience with an Ange or Poppa. Someone who can actually get there teams to more often than not play in the style they preach.

In essence f&*k off Gary.
