My opinion of Alivodic has dropped markedly now.Quote:

Yes, Alivodic is entitled to his opinion but would he have the same high opinion of Stubbins in private?
Alivodic is just concerned now for his own position in the club because under Stubbins he is probably safe in the knowledge that he is guaranteed a starting XI spot, Stubbins goes, new coach comes in and as we all know with a new coach, positions are always up for grabs.
Give me a Caravella any day over this Alivodic.....shown his true colours!
Let's not get crazy - a lot of what he has "said" could have been taken wildly out of context or lost in translation.Quote:

Now we can see why we got this bloke and were baffled why a player of his talent came here and wanted to stayQuote:

Not biting the hand that feeds him.
The only players to speak out against him since the recent developments have been carney and griff.
If I were in alivodic's position I'd be keeping quiet, but if I did say anything I'd be making sure the still current manager can't misconstrue what I say and think I called him a muppet.
When the new gaffer gets announced, go to town.
@JamesGardiner42: Phil Stubbins says why he and staff deserve to keep jobs at @NewcastleJetsFC in @newcastleherald tomorrow. @SMHsport @newyboys....... FFS Muppet is really desperate !!!!!

Is that the first time Muppet has ever taken any responsibility publically for the failings of his reign???Quote:
PHIL Stubbins has implored Football Federation Australia to review the coaching set-up at the Newcastle Jets.
The Jets coach is in limbo after returning on Sunday from a scouting trip to Europe and is desperate to complete a two-year deal he ‘‘signed in good faith’’.
The FFA took control of the Jets last Wednesday after Nathan Tinkler had his A-League licence stripped.
Unlike the players, the contracts of Stubbins and support staff James Pascoe, Mark Jones and Jess Vanstrattan were not carried over by the FFA.
Their positions are now under scrutiny.
‘‘I hope that they do exactly what they say they will do and have a review,’’ he told the Herald from Adelaide, where his wife has a business. ‘‘In fact, I implore them.

‘‘The coaching staff and myself would certainly welcome this outcome and perhaps, with transparency and dialogue, it will paint a positive picture to the one currently in the minds of many.
‘‘I honestly feel we can turn things around significantly if given the opportunity, especially after making so many tough decisions throughout the course of the campaign. The bottom line is that there are many things learnt from my first season with the Jets.
‘‘I simply request the chance to see through a two-year deal that I signed in good faith.’’
A decision is expected by the end of the week.
“FFA is looking at the needs of the new club from a technical, sports science, management and elite development point of view,’’ head of the A-League Damien de Bohun said.
“The coaches from the old club have not come across at this stage.
‘‘We plan to make an announcement on the process in the next few days.”
Under Stubbins, the Jets recorded three wins in 27 games to finish on 17 points, the worst haul in club history, and collected the wooden spoon.
‘‘I take ownership of my own role in the poor season,’’ Stubbins said. ‘‘More than anyone, I have empathy with the fans and what they have endured over the last five seasons. I take responsibility for my part in that.
‘‘When I came into the position, I made some mistakes with some signings.
‘‘Contrary to popular belief, last season’s roster was not assembled all of my own free will. I should have done things more my way.’’
The flashpoint was a 7-0 loss to Adelaide at Coopers Stadium on January 24.
That humiliating defeat sparked a week of blood-letting in which five senior players were sacked and the coaching staff, aside from Stubbins, departed.
The Jets were on eight points with one win at the time.
Pascoe, Jones and Vanstrattan were appointed and Daniel Mullen, Lee Ki-je and Enver Alivodic were added to the roster.
The Jets picked up nine points in the final 12 rounds, highlighted by wins over a second-string Wanderers and eventual champions Melbourne Victory.
A further nine players, headed by Edson Montano, Zenon Caravella and home-grown duo Taylor Regan and James Virgili, were let go at the end of the campaign.
Lee, Alivodic and Mullen have extended their deals. Nigel Boogaard, Andy Brennan and Themba Muata-Marlow are new faces.
‘‘The club now has a very solid foundation from which to build on,’’ Stubbins said.
‘‘We are on the right track with the age and profile demographic of the squad and I’m very confident that with the addition of the players that I have scouted in Europe this group is closer to success.
‘‘Ernie Merrick finished second last with both Wellington and Melbourne Victory in his opening campaigns, as did Ange Postecoglou at Brisbane Roar and Kenny Lowe at Perth. You need time when sweeping change needs to be made.’’
David Carney, who spent four months in limbo last season after falling out with Stubbins, has indicated he would welcome a change of coaches.
Caravella has also been highly critical of Stubbins.
Their view is in contrast to that of Alivodic and Mullen, who have this week come out in support of the embattled coach.
‘‘It seems that most of the people speaking out have been the ones that have been released or have angst at not playing,’’ Stubbins said.
‘‘The football environment is actually a very good one.’’
The governing body has offered players like-for-like contracts to the deals they were on at the Jets.
All bar keeper Mark Birighitti, who has been on loan at Italian Serie B club Varese, are expected to accept.
There was speculation on Monday that Birighitti, who is now a free agent, would join Perth as a replacement for Danny Vukovic.
However, the 24-year-old gloveman told the Herald last night that his preference was to stay in Europe.
When he is 100-1 to keep his job with his neck on the chopping board the honesty flows
No thanks
I believe Centrelink opens at 9am
Stubbins would have difficulty just meeting the minimum mutual obligation requirements of Centrelink with his reduced abilities.Quote:

I pretty much just said the exact same thing...there's still 14 contracts to terminate.Quote:

Next Boogaard.....
I find it completely astounding that he somehow expects his contract to be honoured, even though he completely disregarded the contracts of 5 players and 3 staff? I'm sure if asked those players also felt they were up to the job and wanted to stay and finish it.
Not sure if its arrogance or stupidity. Why should the muppet be treated differently.
You made your bed Phil, now lay in it.
To be honest, I would be amazed if the FFA went anywhere near him.
I know it makes sense that he just left since he was on loan but that was the first time I'd seen or heard that Montano was leaving
Problem with Phil is this, if he had just simply come last place and gotten us the wooden spoon, I could be persuaded to give him another chance cause as he has said, many coaches that take reign have a dodgy first season and clean it up in the second. In his defence, we were playing some quality football seasons end and getting close results and two of our three wins came in that back half, you've gotta think with a better team like we started with we could have done even better playing that style.
But, he completely ravaged our club, took tinkler's side, defended the late payments, acted like an ass to the fans who deserved more then propaganda and lied to the players. As a result, he doesn't deserve the chance and I, along with everyone else want him out
who are these pricks ffs
