    That was from an interview yesterday with Stubbins after Middleby Baartz announced their resignation and before Tinkler announced his backflip on selling Jets

    I honestly think Tinks is currently wandering through the Jets offices opening up all the windows looking for the one that has all the available players in it.

    That interview is on the an NBN website now and makes no mention of not recruiting players. Where else was it reported?

    Edit - ok, found it now. No direct quotes and inferred by the Herald. Yesterday's events would change things a little

    Hope it does change things. For all we know tinks might be willing to throw 500k at a replacement for Steele.

    SFC have spent more on fines than we have on player recruitment.

    Speculation is mounting that Football Federation Australia is trying to engineer an early end to its four-year $160 million broadcast deal with Fox Sports *Australia and SBS.

    The deal, which includes A-league matches, Socceroo games and the Asian Cup tournament that began on Friday night, is in its second year.

    Football authorities are said to be concerned about soft ratings for A-league matches on SBS, which relies on some funding from the federal government for its share of the rights, and believe they can extract more value from a deal with free-to-air commercial networks such as Seven West Media and Network Ten.

    It is understood both Seven and Ten have indicated to the FFA they would be at least interested in *discussing a new deal when negotiations open.

    FFA chief executive David Gallop would not comment on any move to end the current deal, saying: “Every match that is broadcast, including the Asian Cup, shows the attraction of the sport and points towards the next broadcast deal we will have.”

    Any deal before the present contract expires in 2017 would be contingent on Fox Sports agreeing to bring negotiations forward and SBS, which may not break even on its coverage, *giving up its rights. The FFA could move before the third season of the deal or even the end of the current 2014-15 season.

    Authorities are said to be confident of achieving a big increase in the value, potentially up to $80 million annually, though such a rise is contingent on networks believing football can gain significantly higher ratings that it does now.

    Fox Sports holds the majority of the football rights. It broadcasts all A-league matches, Socceroos’ games and the Asian Cup live, while SBS simulcasts one A-league game each Friday night.

    The ABC signed a deal late last year enabling it to show some Asian Cup group games on delay and latter stages of the tournament, including any involving the Socceroos, live.

    FFA executives, meanwhile, will travel to Newcastle this week to meet the management of the Nathan Tinkler-owned Newcastle Jets.

    *Speculation intensified last week that Mr Tinkler could relinquish his licence to own the team after its CEO Robbie Middleby and chairman Ray Baartz quit last week.

    Mr Tinkler has previously indicated publicly he wants to sell the club, although a search for new owners in Europe last year proved fruitless.

    However, it is understood the former billionaire placated FFA management, at least in the short term, after discussions on Friday where he indicated he wanted to continue his ownership of the Jets.

    The team’s management will use the A-league break during the Asian Cup to undertake a mid-season review. The Jets are in second-last position in the competition, ahead of only the Western *Sydney Wanderers.

    Interesting the FFA want to **** SBS off

    Double eff aye don't owe SBS anything. SBS treated the double eff aye and A-League with utter disdain when they were trying to get the comp started.

    Can't wait to hear Paul Wade and Big Jim Wilson calling the games for Channel 7.
