Few whispers that Rudan's last game this weekend, announced shortly that Rudan signing as coach with Juric as marquee.
I'm not getting the Rudan thing. The FFA need to get it right with us and it is a big risk appointing any coach, and even riskier appointing an unproven one.
We have a massive roster to fill and is Rudan going to be a drawcard? Personally, I'm not convinced.
As I always take the line are the FFA need us to succeed for the sale of the product both to TV and potential owners.

Rudan talks the talk but I would prefer someone with experience. We are essentially starting from scratch and we need an experienced head. A Merrick, Arnold, JPDeM, Vidmar. I think Jones would be a better option than Rudan but he doesn't have Rudan's public profile. I suspect Rudan will go okay, but he is a high risk candidate.
Yeah an "experienced head" is what we need but Merrick and Arnold have A League jobs already. JP has returned to Sydney because of a sickness in the family and Vidmar is happy to stay with the Socceroos. Heard that Ian Ferguson's name was also mentioned but we know what he is about and I don't think most supporters are fussed by his whole style as a manager and the style his teams play.
I agree with Jones as an option but like you said he just doesn't have the profile and probably the contacts that Rudan has to be able to attract quality players to the club initially....and the way our squad is at present this is something of paramount importance, being able to attract players to a club which is virtually starting over again. The new manager will almost have to be like a salesman, trying to make new players see that there is something worthwhile and to be a part of at the Newcastle Jets again....not the pile of stinking faeces that Tinkler and Stubbins had left it in!!!
I really don't get all the Jones love on here.. Fvck that guy..
Donkey Juric as Marquee? **** me, bloke has 1 good season and suddenly he's the second coming of Griff. If the ffa are serious they won't allow him as either marquee.

Lawrie Out
And what Bon said, **** Jones. Didn't he try to destabilise Branko when Branko was appointed as GvE's 1st successor because he wanted the top job?

juric got dat swag doe
after the nonsense we've had playing up front for us bar griff since tagz left - i'd take yoorick any day of the week
you blokes are deadset kidding yourselves that we can get any better
we are broke, ran last, have no coach and you're holding out for some pie in the sky bullshit to occur, fmd
The FFA are rolling the dice with Rudan. It's like they want the club to fail again so they can destroy it for good.
maybe it was because promised him the job after GVEs first spell
also culina wanted to bring in his mate as assistant (cant remember his name)
grand final winning year squad players always said jones was the tactics man and GVE was the trainer that got you right for match day
we didn't suck as bad after he came back on board this year
Obviously hasn't been enough negativity surrounded the club for a week or so so forumers are deciding to provide the negative nonsense we usually get from the club.
Why would a top coach want to join this club with the amount of useless, know-it-all 'fans' it has?
