Sale negotiations are tracking along very well at the moment. Some Key differences between the club and buyer have been resolved so its looking positive.
This came from a club sponsor I saw after the game on Saturday.

Rumours Perth found an owner
It baffles me how we can constantly be “in talks”. Does something happen and they pull out?
Do they see our debt bill? Do they see our staff bill? What do they see they turns them away?
I have always at the cost of being called out for it i might add that Mattiske never really seemed the right man to be the EC of the Jets or any other professional sporting club for that matter.Quote:

Our relationship to the club is tribal and inclusiveness that makes it feel like its ours. His target consumer is our support and he has never engaged us in a manner that resonates excitement and be proud of that tribal type support we bring.
Ive said it before i am sure Mattiske is more than capable of performing in the role of MD, EC whatever title you wanna give him just not at a professional sports club. He struggles with one of the key requirements of the job description, Engagement. I once seen him wondering from the Western side of the ground to the Eastern side one afternoon prior to a game behind the posts and not once did he look up to hill at the Southern end and acknowledge those who recognized him as the CEO.
I get Lawrie is a Gypo and all that but i don't think we have ever in the past had someone lead the club in the off field role who would have NOT wandered across close enough to the fence to offer a wave and a nod to those who would have recognized them. Lawrie, Con and even Griff in his role of football manager would have just with there natural instinct for club land and how it works would have walked right close to the fence and engaged because they just got it, Shane does not.
Just my thoughts and observations and probably not worth shite.
Shane loves and respects the club, as a result, won’t be mentioning anything to do with the sale of the club.
Of course he does.Quote:

COACH Rob Stanton suspects that the drawn-out process to finalise a new owner for the Newcastle Jets may be a distraction for the players but he remains confident that a deal will be struck.
New Perth Glory owner Ross Pelligra outlined his vision on Sunday after confirmation last week that he had added an A-League franchise to a sports empire that includes Sicilian football club Catania FC.
The announcement came three months after the club's receivers KordaMentha were sent back to the drawing board by the termination of the club's sale to Melbourne property tycoon Robert Brij.
It also marked the end of an eight-month-long search for a buyer, which began when Australian Professional Leagues issued former owner Tony Sage with a breach notice, and he relinquished the license.
The Jets, who have been under caretaker ownership for the past three years, were officially put on the market in October and have subsequently been linked to an overseas consortium believed to include Italian billionaire, Danilo Iervolino, who also owns Serie A club Salernitana.
KordaMentha are also conducting the sale of the Jets and initially anticipated that a sale would be completed by Christmas.
Jets executive chairman Shane Mattiske wrote a letter to members in January asking for patience.
"Our progress is positive and we are confident of having this finalised soon," he wrote in the letter.
Stanton has been in regular contact with the proposed new owners.
"I'm assured it will go through," Stanton told the Newcastle Herald. " They are just crossing the t's and dotting the i's.
"You say it is not distracting but I'm sure some players are distracted.
"I would rather be safe than sorry. Have it clear and everyone knows what is going on.
"This [ownership] group have a vision to move forward. How they want to do it is a bit different - strengthening the club from the bottom up. You need to make the club's future secure by setting things up properly.
"You might not see success at the top straight away, but if you do it well, there will be a stronger foundation to develop players and people, make the club more sustainable.
"We are going to have to build something that generates income. Balance the team so we can sell a player here and there, develop within, keep costs down and maximise our resources."
Stanton has been building for the future since he walked through the door. The Jets boast the youngest squad in the league.
"Our focus is on doing things really well and setting ourselves up for the future," he said. "I have been pleasantly surprised with how we have gone. We are improving.
"Against the top teams - Macarthur, Wellington, Melbourne Victory and Wellington - we have done really well."
The Jets take on the Bulls at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday.
It is their second encounter for the season against third-placed Macarthur after 1-all draw at Campbelltown Stadium on January 5 in which the home side levelled from the spot in the 90th minute.
After a 'flat' performance in a 2-0 loss to Western United last Friday, Stanton will use the extended period between games to freshen up the squad mentally and physically.
Stanton wouldn't be disrespecting the players by talking about it if it wasn’t close…surely.
Where does speculating about the coach speculating about the players sit on the disrespect scale? Just want to know where I stand if is start speculating about Brem speculating about the coach speculating about the players.Quote:

It?s the only way to do it, you wouldn?t want them to splash cash around and exhaust funds for maybe one season of successQuote:

I was told the expected ownership change was on track to be announced in March.
It was also interesting to hear that recent player re-signings came about through conversations between new owners and Rob Stanton.
Shane has been kept on the side lines regarding these matters.
The players were seen as smart re-signings and low risk signings even if the new ownership didn't go through.
Seems like the new ownership group is happy to keep Rob Stanton at the club.
We might finally have some positive news with this ownership situation !
In what world was Mckinna bad? Always open with fans and spent 300k of his own money to keep the club afloat after Lee stopped sending moneyQuote:

Lawrie stumping up his own $$$$ , Making a GF under his watch. I'll take another individual like that at the club any day of the week.
So once again Shane provides an update for the Herald to run behind a paywall.
Honestly the bloke being told to pack his box can't come soon enough.
So, any news from the members night?
Jeter?Quote:
