Anyone after a ticket to the Aussie match tonight? 110 bucks selling cost price.
That's really interesting. It's got me thinking now too...Quote:

Sure that was almost 2 months back.
But Middleby wasn't doing anything! It was all Palmer and has been for the past 4 years. Bit hard to go behind someone's back when they aren't doing anything.
It was only 3-4 weeks ago and what is your point?Quote:

It shows that Stubbins was covering his arse early on and undermining RM & RB. However if it's true that RM & RB were signing the players then Stubbins probably had every reason to bypass them
That Stubbs was undermining early on to deflect as much resposibility as possible way from him. That was my point and all IMO of course.
If my time frame is wrong then happy to be corrected, Not worth getting on a soapbox over quite frankly.
Sticking to his story, certainly ain't gonna be a dull finish to season and offseasonQuote:

It’s believed Thompson, who expressed his interest in the club to the Hunter Sports Group last December, may consider approaching Tinkler directly in a bid to thrash out a deal as the Tangerines seek to expand into Australia, a country it sees as a potential pipeline for emerging talent.
Just do it!
You hear the stuff Tinks says and they sound okay, then you hear the stuff Thompson says from Dundee United, and they sound great! He sounds really passionate about wanting to be part of the A-League.Quote:

Did you read the article? There doesn't seem to have been any contact between Tinks and Thompson, just as Tinkler said. FFA is likely to have been in negotiations.Quote:

The article itself confirms they are interested. Tinkler said it was "all smoke".
Isn't it up to HSG/Tinkler to chase them as a buyer? He has shown interest, does Tinkler expect him to knock on his door or should Tinkler be the one doing the knocking?
As I said earlier, don't believe for a second that Palmer is not still tied to Tinkler. He has just gone quiet.Quote:

Zane has been completely upfront that he fell on the sword for supporting those senior players. The only assistant to survive Tinkler's wrath was Bridges. So Tinkler there has confirmed the senior playing group fell out with Bridges.
Just thought I'd drop that there..
Even if they fell out with Bridges, that doesn't mean that Bridges didn't resign because of how they were treated. Maybe he didn't like them and they didn't like him. Football isn't always about liking everyone. But there is still a framework that needs to be honoured.Quote:

Like I am fairly sure I've said multiple times - I don't question that Bridges has or hasn't done the right thing, because I believe he has done the right thing. I'm just continually questioning the motives of his moves, and the hero-status he should or shouldn't receive from this move. From where I'm sitting, I genuinely believe the 5 players and 3 coaches sacked were the fall-guys in an attempt by them to ensure football at this club and in this town did not get worse, but got better. Whereas Bridges seemingly did not subscribe to their beliefs, and in that I think this move was not even close to as self-less as many believe (and I believe phernz even tweeted or facebooked about?).Quote:

The Newcastle Jets have made the first move to replace the players sacked by owner Nathan Tinkler last week.
Although the validity of the terminations is being challenged by the players' union, experienced defender Daniel Mullen has been offered a contract to play with the team until the end of the season.
Mullen was released by the Western Sydney Wanderers so he could reunite with his former Adelaide United mentor and current Jets coach Phil Stubbins.
Mullen said rumours of turmoil at the club did not discourage him and he has not seen any signs of disunity.
"Since I have been here I have had two sessions and everything has been very positive so far," he said.
"Yeah it has been good - the boys have impressed me so far.
"There has been a good intensity to training.
"It's the first time I have been here and the pitch is good.
"Everything is just as I expected so so far so good."
so from that article i gues everything is 'good'Quote:

In better news, the Jets finally have a top notch media manager in Benny O'Neill. Shame that his first job is to put a good spin on this nonsense.
first task will be to explain why he took the job! :)Quote:
