Will Miller and JP be staying or will the new owners bring in their own people ?
Things are going great at the moment so I'm a bit worried that it might all go to shit if a new owner starts stamping their authority over a system that is working well.
miller and JP better stayOriginally Posted by The Dunster
It's how they make money...process and time v outcomes.
I believe there was a clause inserted in millers contract that relates to a 3 month period. I didn't quite understand it when I heard of it.
I think he is pretty safe to be honest. Although we haven't been playing the most attractive football, the signs are there that our attack is progressing and more and more chances will be created.
If they get rid of a team that are currently sitting in first place, then they need to be fed to the crocodiles...not the Dundee utd version

FO Thompson. FFA runs a pretty good ship
http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/artic...-thompson-deal
The parties were close to an agreement at the end of August, but FFA’s valuation of the licence it took back from former mining baron Nathan Tinkler, the on-going cost of regenerating the franchise and a rethinking of his own financial model has led to Thompson cooling his interest.
It’s understood FFA is in talks with another potential purchaser but its unknown how advanced those discussions are.
While the club has flourished since FFA seized back their ownership, as Tinkler teetered under an avalanche of debt, the current agreement involves a significant drain on resources.
It is projected that any potential owner would need to be prepared to bleed around $1.5 million a season, ahead of a new TV deal in 2017, which would likely raise the grant made available to clubs.
The Jets are in third spot after four A-League games, just a point off leaders Sydney FC, and have been invigorated by new coach Scott Miller and a heavily rejigged squad.
Thompson, who has problems closer to home with the Tangerines propping up the Scottish Premiership and new Finnish coach Mixu Paatelainen at the helm, declined to comment when contacted by The World Game, citing a pre-existing confidentiality agreement with FFA.
But it's understood that Thompson’s consortium, which included fellow Tangerines director Mike Martin, was looking to recruit investors based in Newcastle, as potential shareholders in the venture, but was unable to unearth any significant backing.
The feeling is that the tumultuous eras presided over by former owner Con Constantine and then Tinkler, may have cast a pall over the club and spooked local backers, at least in the short-term.
While unwilling to comment publicly, Thompson has not totally closed the door on a possible purchase, though that is now a receding prospect.
Ironically, Thomson had agreed to buy the club for $3.5 million from Tinkler just days before he was deposed by the governing body, after breaching the terms of his licence by placing the club in voluntary receivership.

Looks like you got your wish.
Can't help but think this is partly SBS being anti-FFA and talking the sale down... And any future sale by telling the world there's not enough corporate backing in Newcastle.
Or it's brinkmanship by either party, probably Thompson, trying to get the price down.
Either way - bring back Murphy.
Imagine the outrage with his own Dundee United supporters that here you have the Tangerines sitting at the bottom of the table and there is talk of the owner Thompson of investing money into a football club on the other side of the planet!!! Thompson had no choice but to not go ahead with the deal, after all his priority is Dundee United and therein lies the conundrum. Dundee United would have always been Thompson's priority and our Newcastle Jets an afterthought.....we deserve better lads.
hmmm my usual sarcasm metre was up but I think I would prefer a different owner. Barca could buy us.....waiting...waiting

Was it Dillon who said this ages ago? I put it up as a suggestion months before that. Some other writer put this forward too I recall
Edit - it was an opinion piece from Adam Santarosa
Otherwise Cellini might be on the hunt for a new club.
Anyone know how Berlusconi is going these days?
