That's pretty much what most people were thinking happened
We knew that this "culture change" line from Tinkler & Stubbins was all bollocks

Dundee say they are not going to buy any club
Thought as much
Jim spence told me last night that thompson is giving the club to his sister to run and he is now in a consortium to buy newcastle
If it was to happen Thompson has already said it would be a private deal with himself involved, not the club Dundee Utd.
BREAKING NEWS-- Tinks is Bridgey dressed in a fat suit.
You knew all along didn't you.
http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/artic...isis-torn-jetsAfter the most tumultuous two weeks in the club's history, Newcastle Jets returns to A-League action on Friday against Brisbane Roar.
The Jets will be fielding a new-look side and under-fire head coach Phil Stubbins insists he's still the right man for the job.
Reigning premier Brisbane was a 4-0 winner at Hunter Stadium earlier this season with Brazilian striker Henrique bagging a hat-trick.
Eight of the players that featured in the Jets side that day have since departed with four of Stubbins' backroom staff also exiting the club in the wake of the 7-0 defeat by Adelaide a fortnight ago.
To make matters worse, owner Nathan Tinkler was served with a show-cause notice this week after failing to meet a Football Federation Australia (FFA) deadline to pay debts of $500,000.
FFA chief David Gallop has warned the mining magnate that, unless he gets his house in order, the game's governing body is ready to step in and take over if he fails to clear those debts and appoint a CEO - a position that's still vacant after Robbie Middleby quit just after Christmas.
It's hardly the best preparation for a game but Stubbins maintains he has what it takes to motivate a side that will be skippered by local product Taylor Regan following Kew Jaliens' and Joel Griffiths' sackings last week.
It's understood the armband was originally offered to midfield duo Ben Kantarovski and Zenon Caravella but the pair refused out of respect to their axed teammates.
"We have certainly had some things that could have gone the other way and worked out in a better light for the club and myself," Stubbins told reporters this week.
"We made some bold decisions and we are moving forward. In terms of a timeframe, I would say give me until this time next year."
Jeronimo Neumann became the 10th player to part ways with the Jets this season on Wednesday after his contract was mutually terminated.
The Brazilian striker's departure follows that of Billy Celeski, David Carney, Adrian Madaschi, Marcos Flores and Jonny Steele, who were all signed by Stubbins.
The coach admits his recruitment could have been better: "There are players there in the five that I had something to do with signing," Stubbins said.
"Sometimes you don't get it right. I put my hand up there. It got to a point where we decided to move in a different way.
"Perhaps the service we have hoped for from some of those players wasn't to the level we had hoped."
New signings Daniel Mullen and Travis Cooper are expected to feature against Brisbane, with youngsters Mitch Cooper and Nick Cowburn in line to make their debuts after being promoted from the youth team.
Korean left back Lee Ki-je is unlikely to play, with the club still waiting for his work visa to be approved.

Interesting Kanta and Caravella turned it down - gotta respect their support for the others.
ANd stubbins if you decide to go a different way thats fine but treat the players with some respect you myth of a coach.
Respect what's that??
The club has chosen to shaft 4 players and done so in such a poor way it defies belief
The club has treated the club icon and fans hero in a disgraceful manner
The club has shat on its supporters
Respect is not part of our clubs ethos at all
What i was thinking. Too late for that ahole to show respect.
Kanta and Uturn
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
those cunce who wanted it wound up can have their aidsTHE NSW Office of State Revenue has moved to wind up the Newcastle Jets over unpaid debts.

The herald half-time show is interesting.
Middleby never had a cent to run the club, would chase Tinkler/Palmer who would palm him off. Tinkler's statement that he never knew how bad the debts were is a lie.
Jimmy reckons this will carry on for weeks, if not months.
Lowe things that there would be a fair amount of disharmony within the remaining player group, particularly with those who have come in.
Joel is having a bad time. Doesn't want to leave. Loves club and city.
Lowe falls asleep I think between 9-10mins. Woop he is awake.
WE (as fans) have been tolerant (thanks Captain), our club is being held to ransom (thanks lowy).

Go jetties
But, But.....the forum told me this mess was completely Middleby's doing. Nothing to do with an owner pulling the strings with no idea.
Perhaps the Internet lied! It wasn't everyone blaming him either
The Championship Chronicles - The Jetstream's review of the 2007/08 season. www.newcastlefootball.net/chronicles
Yeah isn't it funny, in hindsight Middleby was really keeping a sinking ship reasonably we balanced in comparison to now!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Well now that Middleby is in administration paradise with his 72 virgins he probably doesn't give a shit.
Some of you lot running him out of town was probably best for everyone.
He died for our sins.
