Not a bad network to be opening doors to.

FOOTBALL Federation Australia remains concerned about the financial state of the Newcastle Jets, despite controversial owner Nathan Tinkler paying off almost $500,000 in debts late last week.
With the Jets still having a show-cause notice hanging over their heads, FFA issued a statement yesterday declaring Tinkler’s Hunter Sports Group, which owns the club, needs to do more to convince them of the club’s long-term viability.
Tinkler last Friday revealed he had paid creditors, including Northern NSW Football, the NSW Office of State Revenue and the University of Newcastle, saying he was ready to take the Jets forward.
He also announced he had appointed a new chief executive, former Fairfax Media manager Mitchell Murphy.
While declaring the payments “a step in the right direction”, the head body — which issued Tinkler a show-cause notice a little over a week ago that could lead to FFA revoking his licence to own the Jets — appears wary.
“The payment of some significant debts and the appointment of a CEO were steps in the right direction in relation to the formal notice given to the Hunter Sports Group, but much more needs to be done,” an FFA spokesman said. “The financial state of the Newcastle Jets is not yet in a position to fully satisfy FFA’s concerns about stability and sustainability.
“Nathan Tinkler has acknowledged the situation and given FFA assurances. He has been given a short period of time to address the financial and operational issues, which are important steps towards rebuilding trust with the football community of the region. To that end, coming to an amicable and mutually acceptable arrangement with those players who have served the club, but are no longer part of the plans, is something that should be given priority.”
FFA remains worried over issues surrounding the plight of a number of players dumped by the club in recent weeks.
The Jets are in dispute over termination agreements with Kew Jaliens, Joel Griffiths, Billy Celeski and Adrian Madaschi, who were cut loose after a failed player revolt against coach Phil Stubbins.
Former Socceroo David Carney had his reported $230,000-a-season contract torn up over a number of alleged breaches, though that matter is in dispute with Professional Footballers Australia handling the matter on his behalf .
The players have continued to turn up to training, though they have been segregated from the rest of the squad.
However, Tinkler remains bullish about the situation.
“As far as the club is concerned, none of those players will be coming back,” Tinkler told theworldgame website yesterday.
“They have refused to sign their mutual terminations and that just illustrates my point at what a disturbance they have been to the club.
“They don’t want to leave, they just want as much media attention as they can get.
“I have simply told Phil to make a little naughty corner at training and give them a sandpit and a little ladder, or something, to play with. They can come to training and play over there.”
Aside from the $500,000, Tinkler has indicated a further $400,000 relating to unpaid superannuation for players and staff would be met this week.
“The payments are one thing and the CEO appointment is another,” Tinkler added. “He (Murphy) is an experienced administrator with good business acumen.
“I think the FFA can take a lot of comfort from that and we can get on with pushing the club forward again.”
Is it just me or is this an article that gives absolutely no details whatsoever apart from rehashing everything from the last week?
Agree - it's just how the papers fill copy. Nearly ever Herald article still states "five senior players and three coaching staff were sacked"" etc etcQuote:

Interesting stuff.. Although (obviously), of the six blokes gone, he is the only one I wouldn't want back..
This was mentioned on Santo, Sam and Ed of all places last night...FFA far from finished dealing with Tinks.Quote:

It seems odd to me that it's not a three-strikes policy, but regardless of what I think it about it doesn't change that it exists. And the fact that a strike can be included that is a private conversation between owner and player, I'm not so sure about tbh - must have been some heavy things said there.Quote:

FOOTBALL Federation Australia chief David Gallop has warned that Jets owner Nathan Tinkler has ‘‘a matter of days’’ to clear the club’s debts.
Tinkler last week paid an estimated $500,000 towards appeasing some of the A-League franchise’s creditors, but the FFA is still demanding that shortfalls in employees’ superannuation, and payouts to five players and three coaching staff sacked a fortnight ago, are setttled.
‘‘There is certainly more that has to happen to get things on a stable footing,’’ Gallop said on Wednesday. ‘‘They have taken some big steps. But there are remaining liabilities, there’s some operational, structural, things that need to happen.
‘‘We are still on a deadline and we think it’s important that the pressure stays on to get these things put in place quickly.’’
Gallop declined to confirm speculation that FFA had set a Monday deadline.
‘‘Nathan has made it clear that he will clear those liabilities but we want to see it done quickly ... it’s a matter of days,’’ he said.
Tinkler was given a ‘‘show-cause’’ notice by FFA 10 days ago, warning that he was in danger of relinquishing the club’s licence if he did not not meet his obligations.

No time frame was specified but Tinkler has maintained in interviews that ‘‘it would take until mid-February to get those things done’’.
The struggling magnate reiterated that in a statement last Friday when he said ‘‘the last outstanding thing is superannuation, and we will get that met next week’’.
Tinkler, who is understood to have been travelling between Singapore and New York this week, has indicated he would launch legal action if FFA tried to evict him as Jets owner.
But the governing body has taken similar measures in the past to remove Tinkler’s predecessor, Con Constantine, and former Gold Coast United owner Clive Palmer.
The NRL successfully ousted Tinkler as owner of the Newcastle Knights last June, after a three-month power struggle.
Of the five Jets players Tinkler sacked – Kew Jaliens, Joel Griffiths, Billy Celeski, Adrian Madaschi and David Carney – Professional Footballers Australia said on Wednesday that all were still refusing to sign their deeds of termination.
All five are expected to attend training on Thursday.
Sacked goalkeeping coach Neil Young confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that he had received his severance pay and superannuation, but ex-assistant coach Clayton Zane and discarded head trainer Andrew Packer are still waiting for their financial settlements.
Meanwhile, FFA announced on Wednesday that Gallop had accepted a two-year contract extension.
Gallop, who was signed to a four-year deal in November 2012, will remain in charge until after the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Gallop’s reign has coincided with a golden period for football in Australia, during which the Socceroos qualified for the 2014 World Cup and then won the Asian Cup in Sydney last month.
There has also been the emergence of the Western Sydney Wanderers, who clinched the Asian Champions League late last year, and the introduction of the FFA Cup competition.
‘‘David’s tenure has coincided with a period of stability, growth and innovation in Australian football, driven by initiatives that the CEO and his team have managed with great skill and care,’’ FFA chairman Frank Lowy said.
Gallop said he had no hesitation in extending his stay and was determined to grow the game further and make football the most popular sport in the country.
‘‘It’s been a privilege to be CEO at a time of such spectacular growth for the game and the incredible achievement of winning the Asian Cup.’’

Stubbins: We’re not going to give up
Quote:
Newcastle mentor Phil Stubbins says his charges must take to the field with the same energy, enthusiasm and attitude that they showed against Brisbane Roar last round when the Jets meet Western Sydney Wanderers at Hunter Stadium on Saturday.
Stubbins’ side suffered a last gasp 2-1 defeat to Frans Thijssen’s Queensland outfit last Friday, though displayed plenty of improvement and positivity against the reigning Hyundai A-League Champions.
With Tony Popovic’s 2014 AFC Champions League winners arriving at Hunter Stadium having recently secured their first win of the domestic season against Wellington Phoenix, Stubbins said his men need to produce another impassioned performance for themselves, the club, and the fans.
“We showed a renewed vigour in last week’s game and we need to carry that on now,” Stubbins told reporters following team training at Ray Watt Oval on Thursday.
“We’ve got a lot of young boys out there that are representing the club now [and] to a man I thought they were very, very good last week.
“We need to build on that and try and work things in a way that is to our advantage against Wanderers.
“They’ll [Wanderers] be buoyed by their win, that’s for sure, and they’ll bring some good support here so let’s hope it’s a really good game on Saturday night,” he said.
The Jets conceded both goals against Brisbane last round from set-piece situations – goals which ultimately cruelled the team’s chances of claiming a point, perhaps more, from the encounter.
Stubbins acknowledged his side simply cannot afford to ship goals cheaply if they’re to rise up the ladder during the back half of the campaign.
“We conceded goals from set-pieces [against Roar] which wasn’t good,” he said. “But I think in general play we restricted the Roar to very few opportunities, and I think during the game we had opportunities to win the game.”
“We’re not going to give up, we’re going to keep fighting, and we’re going to keep doing what we can to get results,” he said.
Defender Daniel Mullen made his Newcastle debut in the Brisbane battle, and put in a solid shift in his first outing as a Jet.
This weekend Mullen will face his most recent former club, but Stubbins said the calm and collected 25-year-old isn’t likely to be fazed by facing ex-teammates.
“I don’t think Daniel has much to prove,” Stubbins said. “I think we all saw his capabilities last week.”
“He [Mullen] came in and had a very sound impact for the team.
“He’s somebody that is very positive naturally.
“Daniel did a wonderful job for us last week and we’re hoping that he can continue on in that vein.”
Stubbins will wait until Friday to decide which player will wear the captain’s armband against Wanderers.
Taylor Regan performed with aplomb as skipper last round, though Stubbins has indicated that the captaincy can rotate among his freshly founded leadership group.
That means Regan may retain the armband, or Mullen, Ben Kennedy or Jacob Pepper could lead the team onto the Hunter Stadium surface.
all the media outlets all talk about the altercation
club acts blindly and just talks about other nonsense
if mullen is captain it will be a ****ing disgrace
It should be tra is cooper. Under 6 protocol means you go in numerical order.
3 wore it last week.
4 not playing
5 didn't want it
6 doesn't play
7 has gone
8 doesn't want it
9 can't get shown any respect
So all hail out new captain Travis Cooper!!!
