Had a listen to the Zenon interview, for the record yes it was his father that passed away.
Comes across as a very genuine guy Zenon with no airs or graces, which is why he enjoyed his time here and the Newcastle culture of just rolling up your sleeves, working hard and having a go.....pretty much the way he described it himself.
Enjoyed his insight into coaching and he feels that it is more important how a coach manages his players and their different personalities to get the best out of them rather then just "coaching" them how to play football.
Jeterpool (David) you are a natural mate, thorough professional who obviously does his homework. Have listened to the Reegz interview and now this one with Zenon, both about half an hour long but totally absorbing listening. Great stuff!
Now if we can only somehow track down Ljubo....wouldn't that be some interview!!!
Thanks for the feedback Stopper. I appreciate it. Don't expect the Ned interview to be rescheduled this week. Hopefully next if I hear from him.Quote:

If the players aren't "buying into" or believing in you as a coach and your methods, you end up with the situation we had with Stubbins where the coach loses the "dressing room" or is it "sheds" or whatever...
Ned Zelic interview went well, and will be available to download at 8am from the front page
Nice one Dave
I expect a lot of individual brillianceQuote:

This is the last of the ex-Jet series I'm doing during the offseason. I hope you all enjoyed them because I enjoyed bringing them to you. All the players were really accommodating with their time.
They've been great. Thanks for putting them together.
Next off season can you track down Ljubo?
And Steve eagleton
Final ex player interview with Vaughan Coveny now available
Thanks everyone who downloaded and listened to the interviews. I hope you enjoyed them.
Loved the Vaughan Coveny stuff lads you guys have made the pre season/off season bearable. Top stuff

The other thing was this board of 5 made up of Ledman and his Football advisor, Gypo CEO a hunter based businessman and someone from Northern
Having someone from Northern involved scares the shit out of me more than the Gypo CEO
They cant run their own organisation well FFS
As for the rest of it just the usual hot air one would expect
Can't do anything about the catering - that's a stadium deal not involving the Jets.
As definitive an answer on the Jets shaped hats as you are going to get - if enough people want them, he will get them made. Start your grassroots movement Member
Couldn't listen - did he apologise?
Did you not hear of his love for Griff and his intent to have him on the Jets payroll?Quote:

Likes of Eland and Middleby seemed to be afraid to open up and just be up front, McKinna doesn't seem to be afraid to answer questions, like he said at the beginning of the interview "It's all part of the job of being CEO".
Most disappointing thing from the interview is that it seems we are destined to be playing the majority of our home games in the afternoon timeslot forever and a day now. The club can only request the timeslots but FFA and Fox will have the final say in kick off time scheduling. This sucks but the reality is that Fox pump huge $$$ into the game and so pick and choose the fixture scheduling.
What's the time difference with China? Can we insist we need Chinese friendly kick off times for our extended viewing audience? 5pm kick offs here are too early to start sinking tsingtaos Beijing time etc, we must be sensitive to their market too, etc...
Was interesting to hear what both McKinna and Miller had to say about the Chinese Development player. I thought McKinna stated the obvious which is that squaddies in China are worth a fortune and we are going to struggle to get any player to come here who is any good. Miller seems pretty peeved about the whole situation in how guarded his responses are. I wouldn't mind if the chinese player was signed as a marquee just so that there is actually some salary cap left for the striker.
Thats actually a damn good point. Although could backfire badly as I could see the FFA giving us 3am kickoff times to accommodate Chinese sponsors and TV.Quote:

If there is anyone who is interested in joining to podcast send a PM to Furns, me or Bodes. With the changing format of the pod this year, there's an opportunity for new voices.
If you have any questions, about technology needed etc, happy to answer them as well.
So it is twenty years behind too??Quote:
