Probably Vincent Tan from Cardiff. He'll rename us Cardiff City and make us wear Red?Quote:

As long as he relocates us to Cardiff and we play in Cardiff, that would work.Quote:

UPDATE: Nathan Tinkler has confirmed he has held preliminary talks with a number of European clubs over the sale of the Newcastle Jets.
Tinkler confirmed on Sydney radio station, Sky Sports Radio on Friday morning that talks have been happening for some time with clubs in England, Germany and Spain.
The mining magnate said that those clubs were best placed to provide a strong future for both the Jets and football as a whole in the region.
"German, Spanish, and English clubs are best placed to groom young talent in Australia. If we can do a deal with one of those countries it will put the Jets in a better spot and it will be a win for the community and everyone involved.
"We've been in talk with a number of Premier League and European clubs, they've been going on for a little while.
"Anyone that supports or owns an A-League would understand that (European ownership) is the future. The transfers fees paid by the big European organisations could run an A-League club," said Tinkler.
Nathan Tinkler took over the club from embattled businessman Con Constantine in 2010.
The Herald has previously reported that Tinkler had engaged a consultant to try to sell the club in Asia.
A number of A-League clubs are owned by foreign investors, with Manchester City recently purchasing a majority stake in the Melbourne Heart, now Melbourne City FC, whilst the Brisbane Roar are owned by an Indonesian investment group.

Why all of a sudden with the media appearances, press and statements? Everyone knew for quite sometime that the Jets were for sale. HSG essentially confirmed it by not commenting to the rumours.
Tinks shies away from publicity and media yet today he appears on 2KY the same morning that Middleby is on ABC radio. As stated earlier it makes Tinks look like a desperate seller so I don't see the logic. The publicity might attract other bidders but they may as well advertised on Gumtree with the level of finesse they have used.
I think there is more to this and I suspect it will be revealed in about 4-6 weeks when Tinks walks away after an "exhaustive" search to find a buyer

think of the possibilities!
I'd cheer on the ISIS Jets if they paid the farkern bills.
I like the chauvinistic ones best.. That way we can bring back cheerleaders, and just have everything about bewbs..Quote:

I can't help but think the whole "announcement" after months of hush-hush is a ploy to force the hand of a potential buyer.
Although the price of tickets works wouldn't count your chickens on any new owner doing it also.Quote:

Hopefully we get some competent management of the club so we are actually looking at a positive future on and off the field not the half hearted approaches we have had in recent years.

FFA Couldn't seem to care lessQuote:
FOOTBALL Federation Australia says it is ‘‘comfortable’’ with the position of the Newcastle Jets following confirmation by owner Nathan Tinkler that the club is for sale.
“Football Federation Australia (FFA) has previously noted comments from Nathan Tinkler regarding the ownership of the Newcastle Jets,” an FFA spokesperson said in a statement on Friday.
“FFA continues to have regular positive dialogue with the Newcastle Jets about operational and business matters.
“FFA is comfortable with the Newcastle Jets’ plans for the Hyundai A-League 2014/15 season and beyond.”
Tinkler was reported in Friday’s Daily Telegraph as saying: ‘‘The Newcastle Jets are for sale as well. I can’t wait to get them out the door, too.
A new owner would probably keep ticket prices low if they are also keen for a new coal loader.
