You want a coach that quality players seek not a coach who seeks quality players with little to no chance of ever signing them.
You won't get any stability at the club until the team starts winning and that's not going to happen until everyone from the CEO down is gone - possibly even the owner.
I think Jones won't last as a coach no matter what happens this off-season. He doesn't have the acumen or the demeanour to coach at this level yet. But sacking him now doesn't fix anything.
The Club needs to find an identity. Right now the only thing the players, coaches, rest of the league and everyone who watches us play imagines when they hear 'Newcastle Jets' is Wooden Spoon and Spineless.
The member and all those saying this team is rubbish are kidding themselves. If these players played to their potential we would make the finals easy. The fact that they aren't playing well is both the players fault and the coaching staff.
Those who think sacking Jones will fix our problem are also kidding themselves. We may as well keep him around until we have a plan in place, that way we can keep motoring on as shit club rather than being a basket case club again with no coach, players not getting paid and players being resigned without any thought process. Which wasn't that long ago.
My main takeaway from this season has been that we suck as bad as I expected we would and that McKinna better have just been a caretaker CEO. Get a decent CEO at the top and then work our way down.
Personally I was less than impressed with the decision to relieve Miller of his role
Not because of me liking Miller which I didn't but because we once again had shot ourselves in the foot stability wise.
But that wasn't my doing that was Millers fault for being an arrogant enough **** with diplomacy skills lacking and not knowing how important face is to Asian males
But let's all worship the bloke who actually did **** our season up by signing these blokes then getting the arse due to his arrogance
I didn't expect us to make the finals this season with the squad we had.
You can jazz it up all you like but name me one of them that would be in the top 5 players at a rival club bar the Gypos??
We be lucky to have a player get in a rivals starting side
You and Parkesy need to stop smoking the wacky weed that blokes like Nabbout Hoole Nordstrand Brown Poljak Boogaard are at the elite level in the HAL
Because they ****ing aint
What is this shite? Elite players in the HAL? Name me 1?
The HAL is a mediocre competition for mediocre footballers. There are enough players on our squad to compete, the proof of which is in the fact that we have won games this year. Therefore your argument that the squad can't win is wrong.
I am not heaping praise on this team, merely stating that they are good enough to win games if they played to their potential. I am also definitely not saying that they have been playing anywhere near their potential for the last month or so.
But... Jones is a hack, surely you know this. Name me any squad that would take him as a head coach?
But he isn't the only reason we are a rubbish club.
Castro
Rojas
Berisha
There is 3 of them at the elite end of talent in the HAL
Now you tell me how far behind them in ability any one of our players is
You can pick any of the Jets you like
Also all clubs are good enough to win games if they play to their potential
So your point is irrelevant
If all clubs played to their potential we still don't make the finals as we don't have a side potential wise in the top 6 in the league
It's the lack of consistency and not being able to cope when things aren't going their way which makes the Jets a lost cause.
Jones is sh*t. Anyone he signs for next season will be sh*t. Jets will always be sh*t.
Yet you say that like we leaving Pogba out to accomodate Kanta and that Dani Alves is being over loiked in favour of Mullen
Hey Mullen aint any good and neither is Kanta but it aint like our options are much better
Poljak??
Brown??
Your having a laugh if they infinitely superior to Kanta
Hoffman ??
Cowburn ??
Not exactly infinitely superior than Mullen at RB
Both the Hoff and Cowburn are miles better at RB then Mullen this has been proven this season and last season
Poijak and Stevie Ug are both better then Kanta at DM once again proven this season and last season.
Are these players quality **** no but their better then Mullen and Kanta but hey you continue jacking off to Jones Member and dont come crying to us when he is sacked either end of this season or early next season
We can't pick and choose when we blame only the players or only the coach. It's a team sport and we win and lose as a team.
If the players aren't performing to their ability, isn't it Jones' job to motivate them or change the tactics in response? The players need to also look at themselves after the last few weeks.
If the club have already told players they aren't going to be around next year (as someone suggested that's how they looked) while we were challenging and still in contention for the finals then that's a serious under estimating the motivation of a footballer.
Our season has imploded. Nothing short of embarassing. All the goodwill that had been created following the Tinkler demise has erroded and next season people are going to respond by attacking the club where it hurts the most - by voting with their feet and not attending games and becoming members.

Yeah but he dropped those blokes for Mullen and Kanta when they were out of form. You're always going on about how we play players out of form. You can't have it both ways. You get up him for playing bad players but who is he meant to play? There aren't many good ones
