Also, if we sign that idiot Stajic I hope we get the spoon. The only good things he's done in his coaching career is giving the Gypos another wooden spoon for their collection.

Coach will come from the agent's talent pool
Ray Gatt and James Gardiner are reporting Robbie Stanton is the frontrunner. Stanton is Assistant at Sydney FC, having worked with Graham Arnold and Steve Corica.

Some interesting Coaching clients on this list, and the 51 year old at the bottom of the player list
Gardiner confirmed a 2 year deal for Stanton.
Email from the club with the same.
Couldn't see any evidence of a strong local connection.
To be clear, I couldn't give two hoots about whether or not the coach is local or not. I'm more interested in how good he is at polishing a turd and putting lipstick on a pig.
I just don't like repeated claims aimed at getting the locals on side and then not delivering anything remotely close to what is claimed.
Dear Rob,
We're sending you to Newcastle for 2 years to get some A-League miles under your belt before you come back here.
Warm regards,
Sh!tney FC
At least we got this sorted quickly now the team is back in pre season training !
This appt was a given from the start. Was employed by one of the bill payers and more importantly the right management group. Sure thing written all over it.
Cous will be gutted.
He will fail like every other manager will fail thanks to the crap squad we have made up of retirement home candidates, unwanted cast offs and general no hopers.
So much negativity..... Let's give the guy a chance, sounds like the Sutherland NPL coach is coming as his assistant.
Comes from a winning culture and he was their youth coach when some decent players like Marco Tilio came through.
Why exactly should we have any positivity ??
Serious question
The guy is a nobody in Management terms.
He is getting a shit side of cast offs and has beens to coach and won't even be anywhere near spending the salary cap.
The club is a farce from top to bottom
I got no beef with the new manager but the guy is joining a sinking ship
The negativity is justified really.
The clowns running this competition and this club have a lot to answer for
There's a few things going through my head in regards to this appointment.
Firstly, the proof will be in the pudding and how he structures the team. I will be surprised how much of that we will see against Victory - we simply need to get through! I hope we can because I personally love the Australia Cup.
The cynical side of me says this appointment is another example of agents running this club. He'll get his chance and if he does any good he's straight back to SFC once Corica gets the axe.
The optimistic perspective is who he can attract. We've see Clayton Taylor join - I expect we will see him get his chance this year. Rumours yesterday were that CCM prospect Lachlan Bayliss is joining us - and he was then released from CCM yesterday evening. So I think youth will get a chance...but there needs to be a balance. We need an experienced core.
The concerned side of me worries that this is his first full time gig. He's got to pull together his coaching staff (noting a number of the team members remain, not so much the assistants). He's served his apprenticeship but now he's the main person. This always comes with risk. It's got the same feel to a Scott Miller or Phil Stabbins appointment.
It's 24 hours or there abouts since the announcement. Let's see what he does with the team but I will be giving him my support.
The paper said 30 applicants for the top job, this must have been the best kept secret in football at the moment.
How can you scan 30 applicants in one week and come up with a winner, so soon?
this club is a joke...just like we have a buyer???
When Papas resigned it was stated that it was expected so they might have been looking for a while.
Maybe Papas gave two weeks notice!
To be fair, this coach can do whatever the hell he wants.
No expectations at all.
Bouncing along rock bottom in terms of engagement and performance.
I’d love to see him come in and move on 2/3rds of the squad if he can replace them.
I’d much rather turn up and watch a NNSW NPL select squad give it a go than a bunch of has beens and other clubs discards.
Locals only should get 2+ year contracts. Griff must sign off on them.
Re Mattiske
Either he is provided with the funds to run the club as he sees fit or he just an appointment for the sake of window dressing.
Regardless of which one it is he has failed miserably, If he has decision making powers then i can't think of one thing he has done that has made this club better. If he has no authority then just what is he doing taking up the remuneration and position, At some point you got to ask yourself the honest question and be satisfied you are adding value to the organization, Is he ????.
Seems like a puppet man to me 380, then you have to ask the question, how competent are the people running the comp
Why are we giving a smurfs assistant a job instead of a jets assistant. Most of the recent coaches have had no A league experience barring Ernie. We seem to be a testing ground. The memberships tell the story
Talking to a fella today at a match and he said he got a email from club.
First paragraph referenced him " as a former Jets member ". Went on to explain various membership offers. He reckoned they must have had a substantial number contact the club cancelling " auto renewal ". Sadly this would not surprise.
I genuinely believe the other few club owners propping the Jets up meant well in the beginning but as seasons have rolled on they are now just treating us as a flip project to minimize the losses. I get it they are not a benevolent society but it really has begun to disenfranchise many supporters.
I can see this as our final season with a license sold somewhere else geographically to a previously rejected group parhaps ACT or Wolves with the other club owners getting first dibs on that license fee to recover there funds.
New coach is on a hiding to nothing.
Agree with 380.
The club needs to make a reason for people to care for this club and they’re not at the moment. Mattiske is full of shit, the club is run by an agent group, owners trying to minimise losses, signing youth and cast off of other clubs. Sure most of our internationals last decade were flops, but there was always the hope that for every drovandi or leilei, we’d have a Rodriquez or Vignaroli. Hell, even some of the returning Socceroos were picked up by us, Covid, Burns, Wehrman gave some hope.
I miss Con.
