They still haven't given a final figure 380 and that's because they know they don't have any money but the 1 to 1.4 mill is the range being mentioned. The APL haven't met the benchmarks for just about everything with Para so I wouldn't be surprised if the lower end of the range is more accurate. How can clubs run a mens and womens team with that money, interesting to see what next years comp looks likeQuote:

He's a slow boil IMO, he will get there and be a very handy player. I liken him to Gus and would like to see him stay for a considerable time and grow into his body and the role of leading the line week in week out.
The unfortunate thing is with kids like him is they get told they are world beaters in the present by self interested people and start making wrong moves and bad choices.
Should never have cut his hair, never been the sameQuote:

Both parties have valid points
Liquidation firm KodaMentha revealed yesterday that the Newcastle Jets have finally been sold after an eight month search
Good news but who is itQuote:

Can someone ask Jimmy Gardiner for an updateQuote:

Article Herald on Stanton heading to Melb to meet owners re budget and other things.
Any chance somebody can post here please ?.
Thanx
COACH Rob Stanton hopes to lock down a player budget and get an understanding of the vision that the new owners of the Newcastle Jets have for the club at a meeting in Melbourne this week.
A consortium of Melbourne and Sydney businessmen have completed the purchase of the Jets.
The transfer of the A-League license is subject to approval from Football Australia (FA), a process which could take up to three weeks.
However, Stanton is in contract talks with a number of players and is keen to get his squad in place for next season.
The Jets coach is in Melbourne this week, where he is assisting with the A-League All-Stars ahead of their clash with English Premier League club Newcastle United at Marvel Stadium on Friday night.
"The plan is to get together with one or two of the owners in Melbourne this week to get a bit of clarity," Stanton said. "There are a few things I need to get done.
"I need to have some conversations with the owners to see what their ideas are and what they want to do. I want to be told this is what you can do and then I can get on with it. If I can't get cracking on it, when we rock up to start preseason, we will be behind. That is what happened last season. We should be starting in a better position, not going backwards."
Stanton said confirmation of the new owners was comfort to the players and staff.
"That is something that is good for the fans as well," he said. "There are a lot of really passionate people who have followed the club for many years. They will be relieved."
The Jets have 10 players contracted for next season, including recruit Aleks Susnjar.
Kosta Grozos, Callum Timmins, Archie Goodwin, Lachy Bayliss and Phil Cancar have been offered extensions.
"There are five or six players to get done," Stanton said. "A couple have contracts in front of them but haven't signed."
Grozos, Timmins, Bayliss and Cancar are expected to put pen to paper.
Goodwin, 19, has received interest from other A-League clubs and told the Newcastle Herald last week he was "weighing up" his options.
"I had a chat with Archie this week," Stanton said. "He is up in the air. That is for him to decide. If he doesn't want to stay and wants to challenge himself somewhere else, that is something I have to accept."
There is strong speculation that the annual financial grants that clubs receive from the Australian Professional Leagues will be slashed.
The central distribution, which is largely sourced from the broadcast deal, was cut to $2 million this season. There is a fear that it could be as low as $500,000 for 2024-25.
The distributions were discussed at an A-League meeting earlier this month but a final decision was reserved until after this Saturday's grand final.
The salary cap is expected to remain at $2.6 million, with a minimum spend of $2.125 million.
"We are in the bottom four in terms of budget," Stanton said. "Those are conversations I need to have to get clarity.
"We are still going to be a very young team."
"We might even be younger. Some of the players I want to bring in are younger than the ones who have departed. There are a couple of senior ones I'm hoping to add to give us more leadership on and off the pitch.
"The league might look a bit different next season. I think clubs will look more to youth. We have done that this season with our squad. We probably have a good advantage there in a sense we had less senior players and had to develop people."
Jets player of the year Apostolos Stamatelopoulos is in camp with the All-Stars and remains central to Stanton's plans.
Stamatelopoulos, who scored a club record 17 goals, received interest from two English Championship clubs earlier in the year but Stanton said there had not been an offer for the striker.
"I have not heard anything," Stanton said. "If something happens, great. If not, he will play out the season for us."
Jets players are on holidays and will assemble for preseason training on June 24.
"We have an Australian Cup qualifier to prepare for," Stanton said. "It won't be our full squad. The majority of the players will be from the A-League squad, but I foresee a sprinkling from the NPL team. I think it is too early for such a competitive game. I am more focused on building what the team will look like for next season."
Interesting stuff in there, obviously with the Perth Glory Korda disaster that happened prior I’m really not gonna believe we have new owners fully until money starts being spentQuote:

From the returns to the clubs under the last of the Fox deals to the declines under the APL and in particular the 2mill to the now estimated 0.5mill for the upcoming season under Paramount it is quite apparent an audit and investigation should be brought upon the APL and individuals at senior levels. Its certainly needs to be established if incompetence has led us here to this point or more over an even worse scenario.
I can honestly say some of the organizations i have worked for throughout my life if similar outcomes happened then in the first instant the magnifying glass would be run over every decision maker as to whether every individual has been performing there role in a responsible manner if you get where i am going.
I not sure just what the Federal Minister for Sport n Rec can do in this situation in regards to establishing an inquiry into the APL or not, I think that would require a look at financial statements to see if the Federal Govt hands grants to the APL in which case there may be conditions attached to those grants in regards to accountability and best financial practices.
Just for my own curiosity i might shoot off an email to my local Fed MP and the Hon Anika Wells MP to pose that question.
Or there's still interest in Natta and we're signing Susnjar as his replacement, with GRimaldi as the backupQuote:

Could these people be the same? It's all shady. Have these guys found a better way to do this by themselves away from clubland?
Club consortium ?.Quote:

I can recall just recently it was mentioned one individual was heavily involved in the early days of the Western United bid but walked away citing issues around land developments where the WU home ground was to be built. This individual ( can't recall name ) also had an interest in a championship club.
According to ASIC website changes were made yesterday 23rd
Bit of Sherlock Holmes there 380, I'm more John Holmes:grin:Quote:

I thought from there it done and was expecting an announcement. Nothing thus far and I am a little surprised. Something has to be holding it up....just a matter of who. Could be the APL, could be one of the new owners (assuming multiple given "Partners" in ownership name)
We have a committee meeting next week. I will share the update we are asking for after that. We know nothing more than anyone else unfortunately.
Thanks JeterQuote:

I just looked at the ASIC site and note that changes via 484 were made on 10/02/2024 (this was for a cessation of a company director greater than 28 days - probably one of the previous owners stepping aside).
The only other lodgment was on 23/05/2024 (only a week ago) via a 484 regarding change in shareholding. This could be an adjustment to previous but nothing appears lodged on 10/05/2024. More likely is that it was lodged but not processed and finalised until last week. If so, the ATO has already delayed an announcement by two weeks.
Now I could get the full details but I can't be arsed spending the $19 !
Here's the link if anyone does...:whistling:

And for Maverick Sports Partners....
https://connectonline.asic.gov.au/Re...pe=OrgAndBusNm
Pretty sure its the FA holding things up.
Staff are on holidays etc.
I did hear there could be an announcement on Thursday/Friday this week but the whole sale process just seems never ending.
