    But seriously, it's an intresting shout but I think Tony would look to Asia or Europe with a next move - one he should have made while his stocks were high.
    Maybe that where we need to also look at.

    Poaching a rival clubs manager

    Take Okon or Kenny Lowe or some other clubs manager who knows the league as long as it ain't that Valkanis fraud I be happy

    I'd take Okon in a heartbeat:
    - ex jets player
    - knows newcastle
    - is used to working with other teams rejects
    - has done good things with mariners (less longball this season)
    - would be another knife into the gypos (after taking their striker).

    Valkanis will be available. I also think Poppa will head o/s again.

    Christ, Ange might be available in June!

    Was thinking of the small chance of being sacked should we lose to Saudi.

    We will play it safe and really that is what needs to happen right now.
    Mark Jones was playing it safe and look how that went

    A League seasoned assistant Coach. Been around the A League for a while "gets the Newcastle area/locals and whatnot" If he fails well didnt pay too much to bring him in and no one is surpised, If he does well its seen as a masterstroke by Ledman group. They couldve gone big or taken longer to appoint one with Zane as the Caretaker but they went for someone who already knew the Jets and alot of the players. This is just my opinion but.

    Questions could also be asked if we saw the best of Milos and Leo, and it seemed like the players didn't exactly lose their voices praising the coach like you hear about Amour, Gombau, Muscat etc.


    It might be me remembering things differently but I'd love to see some evidence that you based that statement on.
    They were shaky at times under Miller but never actually capitulated into the steaming hot grogan they were by the end of this season, despite him having a go at a few of them underperforming - was there something more to how Jones went about it? They also refused to play under Trani after Miller got the ass so that at least on the surface appeared to have something to do with loyalty, as opposed to the so long and thanks for all the fish Jones' departure seemed to warrant, there was no feeling they were upset, very little was said that didn't sound diplomatic...

    I should add I don't think Miller's season was a massive success, we failed to make the six, but there was a different attitude, something went horribly wrong this season, the team went backwards quite dramatically, I just have serious reservations about how Jones was managing them including between their ears, I honestly don't think they gave a shit he got sacked and ya wonder if some of them may have been relieved he was?

    The Club hate the fans so it makes perfect sense they would hire Merrick.
    Once again the Jets look to have hired someone that wouldn't get a gig anywhere else.

    So apparently we've narrowed it down to Ante who's contracted with the NT, Kewell and Fowler who have no coaching credentials and Merrick.
    Seriously is this the ****ing shortlist Mckinna comes up with. Why have Kewell and Fowler on there if he's already stated experience is necessary?
    Lee better open the chequebook hard next year or we officially ****ed

    Maybe Griff should stick to home loans and football.

    Mate - the shortlist is not the list of names the media throws up.
