More Jets news coming out during Socceroos AC games

This could all be coming to a head soon, as far as we understand it from the various reports:
Tinkler has until 31st January to clear all outstanding debts against the club (including bill owed to NNSWFF) otherwise FFA assume control of the licence.
Stubbins has lost control of the players who will turn up for training tomorrow but refuse to take part.
Tinkler is backing the coach over the players.
Stubbins had a falling out with a senior player at halftime of the game against Adelaide, and again at the hotel after the game.
The mid-season review is soon to be completed and released.
What is unclear is what is happening with the Dundee bid - reports from various media days that SOMEONE is negotiating with them but whether that is "HSG" or FFA is anyone guess.

There is an endgame approaching - we just hope all this backroom crap gets sorted asap so we can get back to bloody football.

Herald reporting player and staff superannuation not been paid in addition to creditors.

Zane and Young may lose jobs as they have players support but trying to keep clear.

This is getting very messy and needs to be sorted ASAP. My money is on Tinkler paying the bill - he always seems to scrounge it from somewhere. I also foresee a Gold Coast type situation where the players go on strike so Stubbins fields a youth team.

Meanwhile we fans, th only constant in this whole thing, are watching our club and its image get dragged through the mud.

Apparently I'm on the cover of the herald tomorrow.....hmmmm

● the players met privately at Ray Watt Oval at 7.30am;

● Stubbins addressed the squad at a training session at 9am at Merewether beach where the squad told him they no longer supported him.

● Stubbins left midway through the session and flew to Brisbane, where Tinkler has his Australian base; and

● The squad met with the Professional Footballers Australia union to express their concerns over the direction of the club and unpaid superannuation entitlements

stubbs flew to daddy and said they nasty

I am just seeing Tinkler play his Clive Palmer game still.

Seriously the bloke can not be believed by backing Stubbins. You lose anywhere else in the world 7-0 and the coach is sacked. It also ain't like that performance was not out of left field either from what we have seen this season or had mitigating factors like a red hot opponent or send offs as an excuse.

Not sacking Stubbins and backing the bloke added to the rest of his promises that have not materialised show he is playing everyone for fools

Tinks didn't get beat 7-0 last week.

Wasn't middleby the problem?

I wouldn't be suprised if we see something happen today.

Tinks has proven in the past that he acts swiftly I.e Culina Fiasco

He was A problem.

Tinkler now digging a major hole for himself. This can't end well for him.

Or, he could just sack the players that Stubbins sees as the problem

He could but it continues to build a case that he can't competently run a football club, especially if they have legitimate grievances over unpaid super, training methods etc. Threatening to sack the majority of the team is just the type of instability that the FFA would not want in an A-League club. We have a history of sacking players that go on to have successful careers at other clubs.

When he says "Under the old regime, this sort of behaviour probably would have won the day for the players and the coach would go – but that’s not going to happen." is he talking about Baartz and Middleby or way back to Con?

That timeline is hilarious if true.

Hail Newy football!

Zane, Young sacked

Love how the Jets statement on the website says

"These changes form part of the internal club review currently being conducted."

Yeah right. As if this is not a knee jerk action. As if coaches would be sacked mid-season as part of the review process without replacements being pre-selected.

Gotta laugh at the BS this club tries to feed the public. Lot of turd polishing going on in the Jets Ministry for Information.

I think I can see stubbins strategy now quickly make good with tinks, get him to sack anyone who is remotely close to his level, look out ball boys!, then when the FFA take over they won't have any ready made replacements so he'll get to see out the year, then get a nice respectful mutual termination.

Can't for the life of me understand how cockroach keeps managing to keep a spot on the jets pay roll he's done nothing for the club for years, I guess you can't sack all the assistant coaches at once and technically he does not possess the FFA coaching licences so can't be seen as a threat unlike Zane.

Still think Zane had what it takes to go on to be a good manager just needed some time under a true professorial coach.... Guess he now has a chance to do that away from the shambolic stubbins.

I'm seeing two sides here. HSG and the players. I reckon Zane, young and Packer sided with the playing group so they got the chop.

Stubbins is on side Tinkler so that leaves Bridges. By appearances he's on side Tinkler too, but I thought he'd be too smart for that.

I can see HSG getting the boot by the FFA. That means they'll take all their resources too - Stubbins, bridges and back room admin. They're their employees, right?

FFA will need a new coach, and I'm surprised nobody has picked up on the Richie Herbert link in an article earlier this week. Apparently he's interested in the role. FFA appoint him to see out the season while they finalise a new owner. Herbert re-hires Zane, Young and Packer. Admin staff told they have jobs if they come over, they quit.

This leaves Tinkler, Stubborn and Bridges kicking the ball in the park.

I'm not a Bridges lover, but I respect the guy for how he helped hold the team together back when Tinkler first handed in the licence. He was the experienced head for the group at the time, which we needed. He's cluey and would have seen this stuff going down before which makes me surprised if he's sided with tinks because he's on a hiding to nothing.

This is reminiscent of burning the place down before the tax man or government come to raid you

can't agree Jeterpool. **** him. he's feathered his own bed for so long at the jets expense and every time something has come up he's sided with his own interests. hope his bloody bar goes bankrupt.

Zane would have been a decent caretaker and has proven to be better than sluttins.

This whole implosion needed to happen. Tinks and his spoilt aids ridden twin Palmer only know how to go out in a nuclear episode thats matches their immature egos.

It ensures now that the club has to start again OR provides a perfect time to boot us out and thats where our strong membership who continued to support may save the club.
