The truth is Joyce does pretty much nothing without it being a directive from Clifford.
I don't think the Lee and McKinna relationship would be much different.
Mckinna is on a hiding to nothing.
I disagree. Yes all CEO's are meant to reflect the views and directions of their boards/owners, otherwise they would be sacked themselves.Quote:

If Mr Lee doesnt spend big on the squad this summer I dare say this sub will blow up.
Let's allow him an off-season before we get the pitch forks out. Everything was nailed on before he took over.
Give him to round 10ish gotta see if what ever retards we sign can actually performQuote:

It just occured to me that Martin Lee is quite handsome, though I am a poor judge. Can any heterosexual women, homosexual men or non-cisgendered forumites offer an opinion?
I reckon a straight bloke could suggest he is.
He's no oil painting, but he's certainly not a hat full of cats arses.
Apologies, I should have added a picture:

THE Newcastle Jets are now Martin Lee’s only professional football interest after the billionaire businessman withdraw Shenzhen Ledman from the Chinese third tier.
Shenzhen Ledman has made the play-offs in China League Two for the past two seasons but will revert to amateur football.
When Lee bought the Jets, the plan was to move players between the two clubs once Shenzhen Ledman had been promoted to China League One, in which clubs are allowed imports.
“To run a football club in China is big money with no return,” Jets chief executive Lawrie McKinna said. “They attract small crowds and have no sponsorship. To get up into the next level where it could help the Jets and Shenzhen Ledman could cost tens of millions of dollars. Last year the Chinese Super League was the biggest spending league in the world. China League One was about the fourth or fifth biggest spend. You are either in it or not. ”
Shenzhen Ledman players had lived together in a hotel near the training facility.
Ledman Group, which is owned by Lee, has also ceased sponsorship of the Portuguese second division.
McKinna said Lee’s move to scale back his interests would not impact the Jets.
“Our budget hasn’t changed,” he said.
So the box of mangoes is now a box of LED Globes.
Our budget of zero
Bullshit he is keeping us just so he can lose more cashQuote:
