Newcastle Jets head coach

[Couscous]

I'd like to hear genuine views from forumites.

Who do you think, realistically, will be the Jets coach this upcoming season? Who would you like to be coach?

Haliti is going ok coaching in sydney isn't he?

Nice try, Gary!

Realistically the best we can hope for is Zadkovich or Zane. My biggest fear is that we get GVE.

[MFKS]

There is this guy coaching NPL currently who I think can unite the fans and return us to the summit of the ALeague if he is given the job


Blokes name is Joel Griffiths


Make it happen Middleby

[plague]

If gve's return to the 1st team means we get his relos back on the foz and accompanying facebook tirades then slip the contract under his door asap.

Also, 'sup q-man, hope all is well.

Ufuk talay

[Alton]

The budget says Zads

[The Dunster]

Des Hasler if he's available.

There are always going to be people who want to come in thinking they can make something of the role and establish yourself as an A-League coach....after all there's only 12 positions on offer in our top league.

I've heard a few calls for Damian Zane. If he has the quals to coach at A-League level I think he's a shout. Joel Grififiths the same - does he have the quals?

Zadkovich is probably my front-runner. He knows half the squad given they left Perth recently (Dowse, O'Neill, Timmins, Stynes) or played with them (Hoffman). That could be a blessing or a curse - e.g. why did Timmins and Stynes leave when Zads was coach before?

Gary van Egmond would be right behind him.

A left field one? Brad Maloney is current u17 Joey's manager. He's also got the same agent as Arthur and most of our squad. He's away with at the Asian Cup and doing well - I wonder if that's a natural conclusion point in his role? As a former Newcastle Breaker, I wonder if the role at the Jets interests him?

Talay would be a great-get but I think is unachievable. Haliti is an interesting shout.

The Cons for us are obvious - unstable future for the club around ownership, minimum spend on squad is the maximum they can expect, stadium dramas continue,

The pros, however, are there are zero expectations, opportunity to recruit half a squad and an entire pre-season to transition your ideas.

ABSOLUTE BAFFLED on how anyone can recommend Zadcobitch
no idea whats so ever, the only winner is Perth , not having him further destroy there club.
football in australia, has had enough of the puffy vest, and moronic ego coaching behaviour

Damian Zane is the only contender, in my eyes- or look elsewhere
p.s he actually can coach, knows the youth, and develops youth

I didn't make it clear, I'm also not convinced on Zads but I think he would be the most likely (i.e. "my front runner").

I don't have a preference for anyone at the moment. I was answering the question as to who I think it will be, not who I want.

Objectively, GVE is not behind Zadkovich. I love Ruben but GVE is far more experienced and he's already here. He's also improved vastly since his last stint.

GVE will be the next head coach of the Jet's A-League men's team.

Experience isn't the same as ability or skill. I don't think Ruben is good enough for us at all, but there is at least a chance he could turn out to be a decent head coach with improvement. He definitely showed he wasn't quite ready at Perth, but it wasn't all bad.

Gary, however, we know isn't good enough. He wasn't good enough when he left and the game has improved since then. Would be the final nail in the coffin for some if he is the coach come round 1.

Damian Zane, if we look local- no other option, good bloke, excellent coaching knowledge and skill, also understands player football and metal development

RZ maybe as ball boy, no guarantee he doesn't f#$* that up as well.

As others are saying, whoever takes the gig isn't going to have a good time. So maybe Damian is better off waiting for another offer, wouldn't want to ruin his chance at a top job by taking this shit show and having it stain his CV.

Your comment doubting Griffos qualifications and abilities should see you banned for such disgraceful comments

Who the **** are you to doubt Griffo ??

People who wrongly doubt Griffo and like "bits of paper to say he can do it" need to be satisfied that he meets all their stupid rules. They put the rules there because the DON'T want him there so they try to make it hard.

I know he can do it, for Griffs sake.

He said Joel was in with a shout but then asked if he had the qualifications. Sounds like he was simply asking if he did have the Pro-Licence

You mean Football Australia have put the rules in that the head coach must have a AFC or UEFA Pro diploma because they don't want Griffo to take the role?

Our relationship with Footballhouseplus will be interesting as a result of all of this...
