Surely a few recruits (other than Mullen) would already be identified by now heading into the transfer window.
Actually who am I kidding, it will only be scrap heap type players

I'd like the see the results of a poll but I don't know how to create one. So I'll ask the question here:
After the Asian Cup, should Stubbins or GVE coach the Jets? (Only two choices, I'm afraid.)
That's an evil choice! Of the two I would choose Stubbins simply because I was so desperate to see GVE gone.Quote:

Re GVE, I was always in the "his brilliant planning is on the cusp of working" camp. Just needed more time.
The sad thing is the 3rd coming of GVE would most likely be an improvement on where we are at now.Quote:

GVE has a proven track record of being tactically hopeless and of being emotionally immature. He was like that during his first stint and, despite his own belief that he had changed, he was exactly the same in his second. I notice that it doesn't appear that he has been exactly swamped with job offers since he got the axe with us.
We would probably play well against Brisbane and victory, still be utterly shite elsewhereQuote:

GVE could talk the talk, but a quick look at the preparation and organisation of the teams that he put on the paddock, made it obvious he had no f&$@ing idea.
beyond the first pass, the players had no idea where they should be and, invariably, possession would be lost.
there was no structure in place at all and every team in the comp twigged and pressed high on us, putting pressure on and we became a team who lost possession in critical areas.
GVE was a complete imposter.
Fact is under gary we were close to making finals. Stubbins we're closer to the spoon than the finals.
If you blokes didn't run Con out of town we'd be sitting pretty with Venables in the dugout right now.
You got what you wished for, deal with it.
According to Birraz twitter he is currently in Perth not Venezia
According to Birraz twitter he left for Perth on Saturday 3rd January.
Considering we had a game on that day what the **** is Stubbins doing allowing this to happen??
So does he was sick enough to not play, but he can fly to f****** Perth? Probably just on "personal leave", coz they aren't on holidays for long enough.Quote:

Got a press release somewhere......
Edit:

The issue to me is not the 1 win in 14
The issue to me is the boring playing style which sees us not actually pressure opponents take the initiative in games or better yet actually entertain the crowd.
We have not played good enough in 14 games this season to actually deserve to say we were the better side in the game(regardless of the scoreboard)
Sure you win games from time to time you don't deserve to and you lose games when you don't deserve to (thats football) but we have gotten exactly what we have deserved by not actually being the dominant team every week bar one win where we were still not the best side on the night just more clinical in front of goal than our opponent
Have a go you ****s and play the game to embrace the talents of our players not some GVE 4-3-3 inspired system and style that don't ****ing work with these blokes
That's not even the reason I want Nubbins gone though it's all true. I want him gone for delivering nothing but BS... where is the fabled "I want to play attacking football" that he raved about before the season? To then treat the FFA Cup like a pre-season friendly and dish turd after turd up on the park and then say "things are going well, we looked really good, bit unlucky" when nothing changed... **** off, Phil.
I don't like what Stubbins has done with the squad (a squad that I think is capable of top 4) and would love to see him gone, but hypothetically if he goes all we will see (like we will with Middlebys departure) is an internal replacement.
Some may say fine, they would be happy with Zane. My problem in this scenario is that Zane inherits a basket case that is getting worse by the day, he steps into a job with increasingly less resources where he has very little chances of doing anything but jeopardising future career prospects in coaching.
Like the CEO job, if stubbins goes, you would be crazy to step into the coaching role at this club until the new owners are found or the FFA takes control of the club.
Bring Deans in, gets us the derby victory then **** him off once the club is sorted.
if he ****ing played the best players in the team week in week out in there best positions
we would actually have won more than 1 game.
I want to see this, just once during this season:Quote:

Murdered in midfield. I don't understand how anyone would expect celeski to hold the entire midfield together by himself. Celeski needs someone doing the donkey work like Milligan did for him at victree, thus allowing him to pick the passes and dictate play a bit.Quote:

Griff and Hoole actually track back, and put in defensive shifts. As opposed to other attacking wingers in the league.Quote:

I think that team would work. I'd love to see it just once this season.
Replace celeski with a defensive minded midfielder. Someone like paartalu would make that formation sing, oh wait.......... He didn't sign with us.Quote:

Play the players where their skill sets are best utilised. Using him as a workhorse and not at the pointy end of our play is just screaming of stupidity from the coaching staff.

I would agree with this to some extent but I think his biggest mistakes have always been in recruitment. He has signed some diamonds but a hell of allot of duds along the way. Then sticks steadfastly to the game plan regardless that the dud players he signed were not up to it. Would love to know what signings were his and what were pushed upon him, if any.Quote:

I would have GVE back over Stubbins in a heart beat, particularly considering the article today suggesting we have lined up an ex NSL coach. Has me fearing greatly that Kossie is on his way back to Newie
Agree with PV somewhat...play the Magnificent Seven (Kew, Carney, Celeski, Flores, Griff, Edson, Jeronimo) together, put whatever else you want around them.
They have 95% of the clubs experience and goals between them.
