Blacktown city have been one of the premier clubs in NSW NPL for the last few years. Why the push for Rudan? Crittenden's team are more successful
Then all including Rudan's. For the record under Crittenden, Blacktown have developed 4 or so A league players in last few years including sean rooney and travis major. Bernie Ibini and Matt ryan also came through Blacktown system although not sure of conection with Crittenden.
Point is how many NPL clubs develop players for A league?Not many, most come through NYL. So to get some is a credit to him. Gibbs and Evans have ambition, they are playing at Blacktown for a reason. Newcastle allways gives players/ coaches a go. Why not???
Not a very convincing argument anfield. Rooney is one of many players who promised much at 19-20 years old but he did just not kick on with his A League career at the Jets and where is he now? The name Travis Major rings a bell but to tell you the truth I wouldn't know which A League club he was/is involved with?
Jones hasn't got the greatest of profiles but is still reasonably well known in football circles around Australia, outside of Sydney I doubt anyone would have heard of Crittenden. Who would he be able to attract to the club if players have not heard of him?
Who really cares if coaches are known or not. If they get results thats all that matters. Trent Robinson of the roosters in NRL was unknown in oz, he won a comp and signed Sonny Bill Williams in his first year. Players will sign if the money is right or they are looking for an oppurtunity.
I dont really care who gaffer is. I would stay away from Rudan. Promoting from NPL Leagues is something I would highly consider. Everybody needs an oppurtunity at one stage .
Just what we needFORMER Socceroos striker Damian Mori has replaced Mark Rudan as the front-runner to take over as Newcastle Jets coach.
Rudan had been the leading candidate, but the Herald understands that negotiations between the former Sydney FC defender and Football Federation Australia broke down last week.
According to sources, the sticking point involved contractual guarantees and a potential settlement should a new owner take control of the club and want to bring in their own coach.
Mori is on a shortlist of young Australian coaches including Rudan, Paul Okon and Tony Vidmar identified by the FFA coaching panel headed by Ange Postecoglou.
The 44-year-old is in his second stint and eighth season in charge of Adelaide City, whom he guided to the quarter-finals of the FFA Cup last season, beating Asian champions Western Sydney Wanderers in the round of 32.
A two-time South Australian coach of the year, Mori has a reputation in his home state for developing young players.
One source told the Herald: ‘‘He can be abrasive, which is seen as arrogance. There is no BS with him.’’
Business interests have kept Mori in Adelaide, but the Herald has been told he is keen to make the step up to the A-League.
The Jets have been without a coach since Phil Stubbins was let go nearly two weeks ago after the FFA took control of the club from Nathan Tinkler.

Under Stubbins, the Jets won just three games on the way to collecting the wooden spoon.
The FFA has offered like-for-like deals to 15 players who were contracted for this season under Tinkler. All bar on-loan keeper Mark Birighitti are expected to accept.
Mori won three National Soccer League championships as a player, one with Adelaide City and two at Perth Glory.
He was twice awarded the Johnny Warren medal for player of the year and won the goalscorers’ title five times.
A supreme predator in front of goal, Mori played the inaugural A-League season for Perth Glory and was elevated to assistant coach halfway through the season.
He returned to Adelaide City in 2006 but was lured back to the A-League on a series of short-term deals at the Roar and Mariners.
On the international scene, Mori scored 29 goals in 45 games in a 10-year Socceroos career and held the record number of goals for Australia until he was surpassed by Tim Cahill last year.
Looks to be a big possibility the coach may be constantly ****ing off back to Adelaide during the season.
Reckon that will work well.

It all makes sense now.
Given we haven't even seen a picture of Damien Mori's sister how could the FFA possibly have him ahead of Mark Rudan for the Jets coaching job ?
