I thought Troy parted with Tinks
Read him described as "outgoing head of HSG"
That might just be because once the horse auction is done we are the only thing left in hunter sports group.
He has left HSG and all related Tinks companies.
He is only remaining at the Jets to facilitate the sale.
Boys selling the club and doing it tough......:whistling::whistling:

That was the Liverpool game. The warrior signs in the back give it away.
They have posted pictures at Stokes Training Facilities as well.

These blokes actually doing anything of note or just on a celebrity junket.
Not enough money to buy a squad that can compete but enough to send these clowns on a european junket!
Did Middleby get changed between meeting Falcao and SAF??
Suit and tie in one photo and next photo in civvies??
Middleby walks into a bar.
Bartender: Why the long face?
hilarity ensues
I can see it now:
visits to Liverpool and Manchester United. Sold to Rotherham.

****ING BRAVOQuote:
I dont normally get to fired up or am overly critical as I have no idea what it is like to run an A League fclub (for the record I doubt anyone who comments here does...) but i am a bit over a few issues.
1) Constantely signing injured players. Flores is the excpetion here he is a gamble worth taking. I was excited by Celeski but if he is out until round three, then 4 weeks to get his fitness back.. thats the best part of half the season gone on a bloke who has a 1 year contract.
Our new striker is far from fit (has been in a fair paddock i think) so how long until he is up to speed. Kanata (who seriosuly needs to have a good year) is still having knee issues as well. What is happening with the medical side of the club. This could all just be bad luck rather than bad management and if this was something new i would probably put it down to that but it is ground hog day.
2) Letting players go. Goodwin (who i was never a huge fan of, i know others are... maybe i am wrong) but to let him go without a very clear understanding of who will take his spot is very poor form.
3) consistently missing out on players. Let's be honest who would you sign for Melbourne City or the Jets? Not many are taking the Jets on that when you consider the excitment around City. Let's face it despite the salary cup there is a pecking order probably led by Vicotry, Brisbane, Sydney's stocks are rising already. The only way to change this is to have success on the field.... which you can't have unless you have the right players.... pick the visious cycle here....
4) this is petty i know but, Michael Bridges get off socail media and get to finding a buyer for the club. I am sure that you guys are doing what needs to be done but posting photos on yourself with past players, at the Liverpool game and with Sir Alex is not a good look and honeslty looks matter. As a member i want to believe you are hard at work... not enjoying the perks of office.
5) Another petty one Why are you guys still runnign around in ISC kit at training when you have a new sponser in BKL? These things matter and are not hard to manage (i assume)
Anyway thats' my 2 cents.
Someone posted this on the Herald Website
Can assure you it wasn't me as I only read there stuff not contribute with dimwits
Was not me, nowhere near enough snark.
Spelling though.
No wonder people think we are a pack of mongs.
I could try and explain some of it if you wanted me too.
However it is easier just to say: Tinkler. He isn't making it easy
Ok well the club is broke. Tinks ain't paying a cent more.
His first point - injured players come cheap. Helps when you have no money backing you to hand players desperate to stay in the professional game. Playing some games in the season is better than having no player at all.
Players are leaving due to the uncertainty around the club.
Three point a and. B but related to new players, why would you sign for us? Not assured of anything.
The Micky bridges thing I have issues with. Prick ought to do some ****ing work for once
Why not just pay 23 locals to do the job and get flogged every week??
Would come cheaper and everyone would be happy even if we got flogged
Bollocks. Everyone would complain that there is no investment in the team.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
With the salary floor you would be paying them overs any way, may as well take the gamble on a few injured players and hope they reclaim their form and perform with cheap local players and cast offs as backups for if/when the gamble fails. At least with this approach you might be lucky and go on a run of games before the house of cards falls over.
I personally think we wasted our visa spots and this is where we have run into trouble trying to fix known problem areas in our squad, we have been well short of HAL quality in our midfield for years and we haven't had a proper left back for just as long yet we didn't use our visa spots to fix these issues.
Having said that we were linked to the Spaniard before we signed jeronimo and Steele and I'm assuming that after he feel through we believed we could land poortaloo so could free up a spot for an extra attacking player. The problem is that we still have no LB or a solid CM and we have only Australian spots left to offer, with the added bonus that we don't have aus marquee or youth marquee to offer according to big Phil in the herald the other day, which is only going to make things even more difficult, let's hope billy the kid pulls up well from his surgery.
And herein lies the problem. Who hires these muppets? Middleby. Middleby needs to go so we can get a decent administrator in who knows how to ****ing run a football successfully, Middleby doesn't and by the time he gets something right, we will be so far behind the rest of the league, it's not funny.
Three local names would be to poach David Eland or Ivan Spyrdz (if they are shown to have good business connections as well as administrative skill) or get George Liolio back. Other than that, someone with a business and legal background who has a history of being community orientated and is well regarded in the business community, and knows a lot about paddlesteamers.
In all seriousness, get Lyall Gorman back from wherever it is he's hiding.
we are always on about community engagment and successful football, he started the marniers and the wanderers, two of the better community linked clubs while under his tenure.
