Where the money has been spent, had largely been dictated by HSG.
Who controlled how, where and when money was spent has been the issue all along.

Yep, we are a financially viable club.
Y'all are quick turning your backs on the great man Tinks.
Remembers Cons infamous line about the grass being greener.....
We should be careful what we wish for.
$400 starting bid for Taggart and Griff. Far out.

The grass is dying and yellow where I am. But hey, at least Tarek and bubs play here.
Gee you talk some crap. If only you knew what you were talking bout. Why don't you do some research before you post bullshit. Victree had a turnover of $14 million in the 2013 year, and made a small profit ($200,000odd) which means they spent $13+million. Do you honestly think the Jets spent that much. Sydney was not far behind them in turnover, Perth spent huge amounts maybe not to the extent of $12million but still more than the jets, ditto with Adelaide and CCM. They CCM did spend a biton the centreof exellence etc.
My original post made no mention of spendin on players, it merely said spending in general. As someone said spending on facilities etc is just as important as spending on players, as part of the attraction for players to go to a club is not just the amount they are getting paid but also failities etc.

$200 starting bid for guys who reached their peak being shit players for us. If you buy it, you're paying $200 for a used shirt that one of our shit players scribbled on. What a joke.
What's Bridges' starting price?
Seeing as Tinks don't pay the bills anyway hard to get a true perspective on how much money the club spends anyway.
Whether we are spending 13million or 8 million is complete irrelevant. We are spending our money poorly. That needs to change so we are at the top level of making decisions that actually get us value for money
Considering clubs in this country don't own **** all of training facilities bar that COE at Gypo land and they have barely spent **** all on it in the last 2years let alone anyone owning their own ground can you enlighten me as to what the other 8 HAL clubs are investing in facility wise??
I will be intrigued to hear your answer for this??
Tinks is 100% setting himself up to request some compensation from the FFA for his licence since he cant find a buyer. This stoush is going to be much more interesting than what happens on the field for the us.
this coming from you was the most surprising post of all. You always seem to know all about players and quality of teams etc... The mind boggles on how you can spend money on facilities etc... I will give you one example though. Way back when Wellington was owned by the Greek guy and Ricky Herbert was the coach, they played an A League game in Australia (nothing unusual about that) and had to play the following week in Australia as well (two games in a row on the road again nothing unusual about that) When they played the first game instead of travelling back to NZ they stayed the whole week in Australia to avoid all the travelling. I know it is hard for you to imagine, but don't you think there would have been added (expenses) spending in that, hotels etc. Have the Jets ever done that? I would dare to say the Jets would do the reverse to save a few bob, they would travel the day before and come back the day after the game, or of it was an early kick off come back after the game to save on costs.
So now your telling me spending on hotel rooms is spending on facilities.
I just don't know what to do with that so I will just laugh.
If I remember right we had a two games in Melburn over Xmas the other year and the boys stayed there.
We also had a midweek game in Wellington and then flew to Milburn instead of returning to Newy
Theres two examples that blow your theory out of the water. Both funded by Tinks.
great week that

Sydney have spent decent coin improving facilities they train in at mac uni.
They were using marquee and shipping containers.
Love it how one bloke argues his point with loose assumptions and baseless facts but argues against others doing the same.
It's called religion.
This has been the only post in the whole argument with any facts and evidence in it.
The rest of y'all are just yelling.
yes maybe so, I was not aware of that, so you win on that point. However other clubs do seem to have a cast of thousands compared to the jets.
Forget facilities, are we spending similar to other clubs on support and backroom staff. If we are not sufficiently resourced there compared to other clubs we will not be giving the players the dedicated support they need to do their best no matter how much we pump into the salary cap and marquees.
Spending isn't isolated to the playing roster. You need to spend to support the players, this is what we don't do and is probably a factor in why we have so many injuries all the time.
This is where we do need money and I believe we haven't been spending it. The Jets under tinker have been largely under resourced in terms of backroom support staff.
But the member knows all and sees all so any assumption about his assumptions is purely speculation. Oh and he doesn't assume anything, he mearly changes his point of view when someone else's assumption seems more plausible than his own....I can only assume.
